Just struck a phone deal with a guy in Ohio to buy my car. Guess I'm a Mopar guy now.

I'm not potentially blowing up someone else's car. As much as I'd love to have some numbers on it, I'd rather have the cash. Oh well. I'll still go up there with you. Someone needs to run the video camera.

Good luck with Mopardom. Hopefully I'll be joining you in a couple of years. Not like I can actually afford a new Challenger, but it's something to aspire (perspire?) to. I've had a couple of early 70s Barracudas. Complete shitpiles (when your late teens and would rather get high or laid, it's hard to fund a decent resto), but I still miss them.

I like your new Dodge. They're getting harder and harder to find in one piece, much less in running condition.

Edit... WTF is up with P-I-E-C-E being auto-edited to peice?!

Maybe we can be talked into starting a mopar section. :thumbleft:

stimpy · Post by **stimpy** » Fri Sep 08, 2006 8:12 pm

Yeah, I had a little slap of reality today though. I talked to an auto body guy who basically wanted about $5000 to get it restored as in cutting off the rusted panels, replacing them, and getting it completely repainted. And it would still be a a 30 year old carberated car that I'm counting on as primary transport.

OR

I can take my $5000 and get myself a good Regal GS and keep working on the car myself and be satisfied with the results I can muster considering my lack of resources, funds, or talent. Actually I'm pretty much thinking about going that way for now, and do the Dart professionally later on.

Well, I wasn't gonna say that. Not that pulling a car from Sonoma to Aromas with a rope and an old Dodge is that great of an idea. Get your triple A membership upgraded.

That sucks, I loved reading your kill stories, your car is the reason for me doing an L67. I hope it all works out for you, and you end up with somthing you enjoy. :thumbleft:

Don't kill yourself. An L67 Fiero is a beast.
I'm probably going to go buy another V8 Dart this weekend. A driver, so I can put some work onto Krusty. This one.

New paint, dual Flowmasters, new upholstery. $3000. Eventually I'll get a 340 in one of them, that will kick ass.

Slant 6? My mom used to have one of those when I was growing up. It was hideous green, as I recall.

No, 318. I almost wound up with a hideous green slant 6 Plymouth Scamp parts car in Seattle, but I'd have no way of getting it down here and nowhere to put it once I did get it down here. But I'd have gotten it for about $100 with a ton of parts.

Hi Jeff, my father used to have a Grey and Black vynil top '69 Dodge Dart GTS with the 318 V8 In it. His was rated at 270HP from the factory but the previous owner had done some work to it. It had a high rise intake manifold wih dual carbs, headers and straight pipes. It also had bucket seats and a 4 speed tranny with the Hurst shifter. The previuos owner said he used to race it. I also seem to remember the car was lowered too. This was back in '75 when we still lived in Mexico. That was a sweet car and one of the first cars I ever drove. I used to rev it up to 1500 rpms and pop the clucth to do burn outs. It also was very loud. A friend of mine back in the late 70's had one of the green slant 6 Darts. You couldn't kill those engines and they gave reasonable gas mileage too. That red one you posted a picture of looks pretty good.

Very disappointing. Sending a carb legal 3800sc fiero out of state is a crime.

Especially to Ohio. I fucking hate Ohio.

BOO!

Sounds like a winner. You're going to have quite the driveway.

Put some real tires on it also, those thin white walls don't look right. :scratch:

I've been readiing about the Mexican and Brazilian Darts on the internets. I guess there was just some really wild stuff available south of the border, like Plymouth Scamp Super Bees and stuff like that.

I like the whitewalls for this one, just not the wheels. I'll probably put some Kustom chrome humbaps over them. To go with those lake pipes I gotta get.
