Well, I didn't want to say anything until I had actually received the wire transfer but it came today paying for the car in full before releasing it to the shipper taking it Long Beach, CA for shipment to Denmark.
Now...ask we why ?
I have no idea.
I put it on Racing Junk, got a call, got my price and let it go.
Now...
I always wanted a 1968 DART...that is a full tilt drag race car...back half car with Ladder Bars or 4-Link, Coil Overs, Really big RR tires, Narrowed DANA 60, Motor Plate, Mid Plate, Full Cage certified for faster that 9.99, etc, etc, etc.
Now...
Ask me if it is my future....the answer is YES
Couple pictures to start...

Sorry to see the Coronet leave but good luck with the Dart Mike.
 
Good for you, you got what you want for the coronet and are building what you want now.

Sorry to see it go mike, But I'm sure this one will better than the coronet.

OK...I understand now...it is all about the sidemarker lites front and rear and the turn signals in the grille.
Crapolla….this was reported to me by the seller as a 1968..little did I know.

Is there a VIN on it? It could very well be a 68. Several years back I started turning my 66 Belvedere into a 67 because the plan was to race in NSS and the rules for intake/carbs etc was a bit more easy for the 67 vs 66 cars.

But...the side marker lights, both front and rear, PLUS the grille parking lite locations are absolutely 1969...
Don't know about the VIN, I am picking it up next Thursday the 18th. I already put a deposit on it. I am gonna go ahead and pick it up and buy it even if it a 1969...just gonna get a little better price for it not being a 1968.
