Just thought I would share with all of you.

BTW used to have a '70 Dodge Dart Custom with the slant six. It was that nice pale yellow in color with black interior, with green cloth inserts on the seats. Someday I will have another Dart, someday...


Well TODAY is SOMEDAY!!! Just picked up an original owner 1975 Dart Swinger with the 225 slant six!!!

I am ecstatic. The paint is old and needs refreshing and the vinyl top needs to be replaced, and there is some surface rust and probably more due to the vinyl top that I will have to take care of, but overall is it straight, solid, and complete. Even have original registration, manuals, window sticker, etc.

So, this will be a great candidate for the roller method. I will be sticking with a gloss white to keep factory look to it.

I think I want to swap in an OD transmission, and will have to search to see if there is any sort of fuel injection I could run with this engine.

I want this to be a dependable cruiser/driver that if I want to drive it to San Francisco (about 5-6 hours) or down to San Diego (three hours) I could with ease, and at modern highway speeds.

Just had to share in my excitement...

Thanks, I agree... it has been 12 years since I got rid of my '70; way too long.

What really gets me going is seeing my little man (3 and 1/2 yrs old) helping me on this and cruising around with him my 6month old baby girl and my wife.

And plenty of fine southern california nights to do that to boot!

Nice looking car. There is something about those big heavy front bumpers that looks good. Enjoy.

That's what it's all about! I had girls but they both loved to "help" me when I was working on cars. The younger even turned a few wrenches herself when she was oldenough to have her own car.

Growing older is unavoidable but growing up is strictly optional.
