I finally got my 8 3/4 rear end and...

it was crazy expensive but came with a free Dart Swinger.

Real nice!

 

[joel d. snyder]

you really know how to deal!

 

[MileHighDart]

Looks good. What else did it come with?

 

[toolmanmike]

Cool rear end!

The car is a trip. It is almost more race car than street car. The gas tank is gone replaced with a fuel cell in the trunk. There are manual switches to engage the ignition, start the fuel pump and turn on the electric cooling fan. The key is used only to activate the starter and unlock the steering column.

Got me a rear end that way too, it was under this car I paid $900 for. Swapped it out with a 7 1/4” I had laying around, put the car back together with all of the parts included in the deal and sold the car for $1800. It had a 71 360/727 in it!

I, of course, have no plan to extricate the rear from the Dart. Plan A is for the Dart to be the car I take to Bandimere Speedway this season. Should be a hoot!

Nice car, should be a lot of fun.

Nice but get a fan controller.

I learned when I was young that it's not a good idea to have to manually turn on your fan...you will forget.....
