drove it for quite some time and put a 360 in it which later lost a main. for some reason or another i sold it.

joined the military saw it on ebay (reconized it by same licence plate number!!) bought it, again..
took the car to hawaii with me, back stateside and then to oklahoma.

fresh paint, 408 stroker beautiful car!
some time later had some guys steal the wheels and set it on the ground, went thru a breakup and for some reason sold the dart, again.

now to present day. drove 5 hours to buy it back again!! PO said the 408 blew up, paints faded, ran into the garage and killed the passenger door put in a magnum 318 and has electrical problems now.

Certainly seems so!
Welcome to FABO from SoCal. You're going to have fun here.
Make sure to continue to post pics as you proceed along getting to know the ol' girl all over again.
