Bought another Dart !

[jomoper]

Yea My neighbors really love Me LOL .
Since My 72 project stalled out due to some unforseen previously hidden chassis damage I was able to pic up a really straight ,73 Dart for a very reasonable price .I plan on cloning My 72 it will donate it's axle ,suspension, front sheet metal,doors,bumpers etc. I may make a beater with the 72 shell and the 73's /6 drivetrain . Here's some car **** for Ya'll . Dig the cover that was in the trunk (Bonus) ! and the snake skin engine decorations .

Looks like a clean find! Anything unique or cool options on the 73?

Well what more can I tell Ya about it ? It's pale green My neighbor calls it Chicken s#!t Green. It's a /6 904 w man drum brakes and man steering . Will need a d/s floor pan and one spot in front of the d/s rear wheel repaired .Other than that it's in good shape the rockers and quarter panels are rock solid.No bubbles anywhere!Got a few dents to straighten out .This was a true grandmas car and I don't think it was ever driven in the rain. But I don't think it would have lasted another winter in that field . The car was actually advertised here that's how I found out about it . The owner has been a great guy to deal with and very patient letting Me thoughroughly check the car out .It was owned by his Grandparents and He had plans to build it but never got the chance .
Well I'm off to the auto parts store to get a fuel filter and some fuel line,and some fresh gas, gonna see if the engine will start wish Me luck !

Joe it was a pleasure dealing with you. I'm glad it went to a good home. Keep us posted on the build process.

Joe, what was wrong with the 72? Frame bent up or rotted?

Cool project to work with.

 

[jomoper]

Rob actually the 72' is pretty solid but yeah its def outta square and I can't get it to go down the road straight.

 

[jomoper]

Update : Well the 225/6 is running ! Not well mind you but it can drive around the court and into the garage . Gotta get all the old gas outta the tank and get this thing tuned up . Here's a shot of the "twins"

Hey man, nice find! You had to have breathed a sigh of relief when you popped that trunk open, eh?......and no vinyl top curse either.....lucky you. Yeah, that's exactly what I would do too, as far as making your other Dart a donor car.....BTW, has anyone ever made a thread about what's up with all the green Mopars?.....interiors too!...LOL

Yeah actually I kinda gasped when I saw the trunk .
I don't know what's up with all the icky green cars maybe a lot of mopar enthusiasts are color blind ?
And flourescent green and yellow engines and trannies I've seen alot of those what gives ? :dontknow:

 

[crackedback]

It was the bad blotter at the time.

 

[Burntorange70]
