HI i really do not want to do this. But looks like i am going to have to sell my dart. My car is a factory 318/904 car that came out of plant city FL. It is a 1973 2 door hard top.the color looks gray to me. i will be up front and say that this car had some hail damage. but it was all fixed with painless dent removal except one spot on the front of the roof. which was repainted. the paint color came up as a mid 60 gm green? when i bought the car it was painted already. It is not a show car paint or anything but does not look bad.the car is all steel except for the hood scoop.looks like it has some rust bubbles forming in the lower bottom rear 1/4. looks like this car used to be a vinyl top car. so there is a small amount of rust bubbling ware the old top stopped. looks like the front floors had small patch panels put in and the rear floors are solid .the only rust i saw in the trunk was a little spot in the spare tire well. but i cut that out for the 12 gallon fuel cell.

the interior is in not to bad of shape. the car will need a new card board head liner. has had a new dash cap put on. back seat has one little rip in it and has a set of seats out of a Pontiac grandam i think in it. the passenger side i took out to wire up the car but i still have it.has after market black carpet, B@M pro ratchet or a B@M pro stick shifter. the engine i built a couple of years ago and is nothing special. here are the specks on the car.

hi thanks for the kind words. well the ati converter that is in the car now is way to big for the engine.It was stalling up to 56-5800 on the launch. i ran a best time of of 11.85 at 110.9 in the 1/4 with a 1.64 60 FT. 2 weekends ago. I hope this car picks up with the lower stall converter.my goal is to get this car to run 11.60-11.70. This is more of a street car than a full on race car.if it does not sell some what soon i am going to put the new converter in and try the new dominator out. thanks Mopar65
