Hi all,
I've had a few Mopars over the years and my latest purchase made me hunt you down. I just picked up a 1962 Dart 225 six automatic.
A magazine called Grassroots Motorsports holds an event every year, buiild a car to compete in 1/4 mile drags, Autocross and Concours, you can't spend more than $2010 (including buying the car) show all receipts. I'm hoping to bring the Dart.
This is what I built in $2004.
It's a Monte Carlo frame with a 400hp mid-engine V8 and a VW Bus body plunked over the top.

This is a 1952 Dodge B3C-116 that I drove for years as a flat head, 6v, 4.78 geared one ton; until some old man blew a light and T-Boned me. I bought the body from the insurance company and put it on a 1981 3/4 ton frame. It has a 360, 727, Dana 60, 12v and HEAT!
My wife won't get near a track (with me driving) but thought off-roading my do it for her. I built this Samurai and joined a local 4X4 club.... she went once.
This is where my screen name comes from, a Porsche 914, my second one. I bought this from a friend that retired and had to downsize so I got it for $3500. Never slept outside, only been rained on five times that he remembers and it has 57,000 miles on it. Very happy.

OK, enough about me. I'll put up Dart pictures soon, get ready to be pestered.
