Brought home a project last weekend - Grandpa's 1962 Dodge Dart 330 station wagon, 318 V-8 and push-button Torquflite tranny. Needs a little TLC after sitting on my Brother's back 40 for 21 years.
Please post any links to good Dodge parts sources... Needs outer rear lower qtr patch panels. I see B body front disc brake kits, so that's on the list.
Finally got to hear the Duramax fan coming up the 10 mile long Vantage, Washington 5% grade in 101 degree heat. Pulled it in cruise control at 67mph in T/H and M 5th gear with the A/C on. What a beast - did the speed limit all day and hardly knew it was back there. Was as much fun towing as it was getting Grandpa's car to restore.
Tow part of the trip was 454 miles and used 33.6 gallons of #2 = 13.5mpg.
