    Obviously, it's the birthplace of Mopars U.S.A. Here in Venezuela, many detest them because of their front suspension, but enthusiasts like me love the original, and there's a reason it was designed that way.

    I was surprised today when a 1971 Dodge Dart with a K-member arrived and what I saw was a coil spring underneath. I was surprised. The owner of the vehicle told me that its ride is very smooth and the alignment is correct. He tells me that's all that was modified; it still has its original...
