Hi everyone!

I have been lurking here since early Summer when I bought my 1969 Dart GTS. I have been spending the time since then getting her looking and running right with some help from the tons of useful information in this Forum. So today I decided to join the party as an active member!

Here she is...

1969 Dodge Dart GTS 340
340 four barrel originally - Mopar Performance 360 Magnum now
727 TorqueFlite transmission
3.91 Sure Grip rear
10" drum brakes
Power steering
Factory air conditioning
Garage kept since new
72k original miles

She's the near twin to the one I owned 30 years ago and I'm crazy happy about owning a car like this again!

Welcome from Lancaster, Co. Pa. I have always liked the Darts In fact I have had 3 of them. 1st was a 67 and I did all the work on it and was on the way to the body shop to get it painted in 1979 and a old lady ran a stop sign and totaled it and me for about 12 weeks. The 2nd was a 1969 that I sold to a friend before I went in to the US Army in 1980 and the last a 2013 I still have and I don't plan on getting rid of it. I want to pass it on to my 17 yr. old son someday. #save old mopar's

Welcome from 10 miles north of the city.

Thanks everyone, it's nice to be welcomed!

Yesterday was the first day I was able to take the GTS out on the highway for the 20 mile trip into work at the Philadelphia Navy yard Corporate Center. She has been only on local roads as I was pulling her together so it was nice to be able to run her at highway speeds on I-95. She's smooth and solid up to 75 mph.
