1976 Dodge Dart Sport
Purchased 4 years ago as my first car. Dad had a 74 Dart Sport with a 318 V8, and Mom had a 72 Plymouth Duster 340 as their first cars, so naturally this was my dream first car. 2.5 years as a father/son project, and the car is road worthy. 2.5 months and <2000 miles, and it is rear ended and totaled.
Back to the Shop for another year, and it emerges like so. New and improved. The saying ‘Built not bought’ truly does apply here.
