Hey, I'm Brian. I'm from Long Island, NY and I recently bought a 1975 Dart Custom off of my cousin for $400. It has some rot in the lower quarters and trunk floor but otherwise it's solid. 225 slant 6, auto, dealer a/c, manual disc brakes, and power steering.

My cousin was originally going to swap a big block in it, but being a college kid with 8 other projects on his hands I managed to snag this one from him. At first I was going to use it in a 6 cylinder class demolition derby, but as I started checking it out I decided it deserves better than that.

I've already done a full tuneup on it. Still needs an exhaust, tires that fit (the rears rub terribly), actual Chrysler rims (my cousin put ford rims with the hubs ground out so it had 15"rims :/) and some tinkering then I can put it on the road. The front bumper and passenger front fender have been replaced (very poor spraypaint job on the fender) but the rest of it looks original. Don't remember the mileage but i think it's around 70k. Runs beautiful. I'll try to get some pics up soon.

Yea, can't say my cousin was good at color matching lol. The right front fender and the header panel are the same color. :banghead:

Had some problems with my daily driver so I had to put the dart on the road yesterday. Other than a bad shock and no muffler she's doing great. Only driven 45 miles but all seems good. And those hideous rims are already gone.
