to the site !!!
Yep, your burb is a beauty !!
One of my first cars was a 1964 Crysler 300, push button automatic rocking a 454 under the hood.
There were many nit-picky things I did not like about that car, but the day it took me 2 hours to change out the thermostat, I knew MOPARS were not for me. I mean, who in their right mind mounts a AC pump right over the theromostat housing so that you cannot get the bolt out without dismounting the entire AC configuration??
Nonetheless, it is a shame about the Dart, they were pretty formidible little cars and worthy of a look or two at car shows!
Your 65 is going to be a process of search and discover I am thinking. I can see a few shortcuts that were taken just in the photos you posted so far.
I hope it really turns out to be as straight as it looks though!!
If having to find a tail gate is the worst of your issues with this rig then you are blessed indeed. At the end of the day, if all else fails, there are re-pop ones available out there.
I would like to see more of your engine bay, if you could.
I am guessing that is a late 70s-early 80s small block 350 in there?
With a high rise intake manifold?
I have the same air cleaner but I am having clearance issues with it and the heater box on the passenger side of the bay.
Anyways, cannot wait to see more on this as you get going on it !!
Good Luck and enjoy the ride !!
