17may2005... Purchased Today!!!
Just picked it up today, less than 24 hours after finding it on Craigslist in Los Angeles...
First caller... I nailed it...
1968 Dodge Dart 270 Hardtop Coupe. No joke; it was Granny's... Unfortunately she did not give up driving, before her eyesight was shot. Has sat for ten years under cover, in an airplane hangar in the San Fernando Valley
Original everything! Still has the warranty tag (paper) on the doorjamb.
Have been looking for years for the right one, at the right price. I'm stoked.
As I said; granny really liked to use the garage door as a guide to get in and out, so it will need new fenders, doors skins, and quarters.... later. No problem cruising in it now, though. Black over Red. sweeeeeeeeeeeet.......
Always wanted the V-8, but after hearing, and driving it, I seriously doubt that will occur. This car reminds me of "Dragnet"; where is Joe Friday. The most important on the to-do list is brakes & front suspension (tired). This is going to be a great trip. A lot of peeps wanted this one; hell, a guy in Detroit wanted to get, but was just minutes late. The seller really was cool in keeping me at the head of the pack; major props.
Gotta go... time for bed... might sleep in the damn thing tonight.
