^67DartGT440^

[jpnh]

This is the last project i worked on before my c-10. I sold it to finish my chopper build. It was a 67 Dodge Dart GT it came from behind a barn in Sarasota springs N.Y. The guy who owned it was drivin it and the oil pressure became non-existent so he parked it behind a barn for years. the guy who i got it from used to drive by it all the time and the owner would never sell it, untill he finally gave in one day before it was too far gone to fix. the guy i bought it from put in a new oil pump/battery, checked the fluids fired it up and it ran good. good oil pressure. it needed love. originally bronze metallic the paint was way faded with a few rust spots, but not too bad. the interior was pretty mint /stock. only 1 blinker worked for lights. exhaust leaked at the headers. valve stems leaked i drove it home thru NY and across VT past Killington ski resort over the Quechee gorge.{what a ride!} the 440 727 391 sure grip combo screwd/sounded good. got the thumbs up many times. was listening to the am radio the whole way ended up listening to the "fisher cats" game around franklin NH .Coming up on Concord the sun was going down Went thru the tolls and was fiddlin with the tunes and the tune D.o.a. by the band bloodrock came on.{it was just like out of a movie.} screwin thru some back roads tryn to make it home blew away the truck followin me {gotta thank ed for goin out there n followin me back}Finally made it to a mile from my house bout that time it was pretty dark and i was runnin on fumes with my one blinker blinkin got pulled over by the cops had to leave the car after goin so far. was able to pull it into an old defunct gas station down the road. no ticket. had to wait while they checked the vin numbers. went n got it in the morning at first light.
