`67 Dart GT from California

[Junior340]

Hello all, I pulled a `67 Dart GT from a neighbors back yard and am fixing it up for my daily driver to replace a worn out `94 LHS. Maybe someone will pull it out of a back yard 50 years from now and restore it.......probably not.
The Dart original engine I was told was a 273 Commando and it ran just the transmission was bad, after all the spider webs were cleaned out and inspected everything it is a `68 340 so the 273 is long gone and all this is OK because I paid very little for the rust free super straight body. I brought the drive train back to life and it drove very well. But now the 904 is done for, so I am installing a A500 now.
Thanks for having me here ,

Andy

Thank you , yes I am very happy to have a 340 to tinker on now. It really has surprised me with it's power. I am used to my 67 R/T I have owned for 35 years now but this is a fun change. That's the reason I named it junior since this car reminds of my R/T just a little smaller .

Welcome aboard great find and you will love the 340. I found the mine from California as well. The 273 was replaced with a 340.. They either don't like the 273 down there or there is an abundance of 340's kicking around.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
