66 Dart cvt world's best collector car

'Sfunny, whenever I see the word 'Dart' I think of some pointy thing. Never imagined it would turn out to be a car that looks like it has a pool table for a bonnet. Oops, Britspeak, I mean hood.

I remember when a friend bought one of 'em new and he got rid of it
within three months. He claimed that it was one of the worst handling cars he had ever encountered...

I put in a floor starter, and added real drive in movie speakers to add to the one speaker that was in it. Wipers still work on a vacuum as well. Bought her in 1980 for ten dollars at Fort Bragg, NC. P.S. comes with extra tubes for the radio, and a few parts. Mike |

I had a '77 Gremlin beater back in the 1980's that was pretty quick (2
barrel 258 straight six) and practical. JT Mike P wrote: > > Grumpy AuContraire wrote: > > I remember when a friend bought one of 'em new and he got rid of it > > within three months.

That little four barrel ran like clock work till we hit a skunk. I think it's still in Belton Lake where we pushed it.

But >with a V8 in a fibre glass body I imagine they were quick. There is a general assumption that fiberglass is chosen for weight advantages. Its generally not. On cars that have mostly steel body parts, the ones that are fiberglass are the ones that have complex shapes that are easier to mold out of fiberglass than stamp out of steel, like the header panels and quarter extensions on these cars. http://www.allpar.com/cars/chrysler/...-brougham.html On cars where all/most of the body panels are fiberglass, fiberglass is generally chosen because the car was expected to be low production, and start up cost for stamping metal body parts is much higher than start up cost for molding fiberglass parts. Thus, the start up cost can be paid for with fewer production units with fiberglass. As examples, the SP250, Avanti, Corvette, any kit car. I don't have weight info on the SP250, but the Corvette and Avanti aren't light for their size. |
