My dad drove a 1973 Dodge Dart 4-door automatic. I love these old cars. However they did rust badly. We still had the car in 1983 and by that time the backseat floor had rusted so much that I could put my foot straight through the hole to the pavement. It came as a surprise to us because the floor covering was over it, until I stepped over the hole. Our Dart was maroon. Wish I still had one. They are pretty cars, especially when you spruce them up with hot rod wheels and maybe a good exhaust system.
, The interior is nice that's true, i like the 4 spd that is cool as can be i would muscle it under the hood and have me a sleeper cool car brother thanks for sharing
@@imperial56 the car is 100% the same as it was when you had it ! Just the rear quarters are have little more rust ! Runs and drives beautiful! I plan on doctoring up the body and throwing a black top on it
Nice video. Cute car, you have every reason to be proud. Ahahahaha is the Mrs ok? You surprised her. Quadrajet is GM. Maybe you meant Thermoquad? You, your car, and your Mrs are pretty cool.
Haha, that was fun surprising her, but she's always been a good sport, through almost 40 years being with me and old Mopars... And you're right, I meant to say Thermoquad.
Yeah I just watched the video on your car on your Dodge dart 73 364 speed a little bit interested curiosity what are you asking for it and if you even still have it after these few years have passed can you give me a text back curiosity just give me a text back and tell me if you still have it would be nice and what the price is thank you very much you have a wonderful day.
Best I would do on this car is $5,000. I've restored 2 of these and they were in better shape than this. I paid $4800 for both. One was supposed to be a parts car and had the slant and the other was the 318. I bet that roof is in really bad condition under that vinyl top. Would be nice to know what model 4 speed transmission you put in it.
Nice car. Looks like a lot of fun to drive. I just bought a 72 duster with 318 that the body is in amazing shape but I have to reassemble. I really want to put a 4 speed in it as it has auto but everyone around here wants 2k just for a transmission and thats without bellhousing, etc. Might have to settle for the auto for now and see if I can find a 3 speed with synchro.
I really like it mate how much would it be worth? I'm in the UK so I'd be happy with that as a challenger probably won't happen lol besides my two kids use up a lot of cash,I drive a clean E34 manual which is very cool but after the car chase movies as a kid I've always loved old American cars 👍🏻🇬🇧
Despite the rust in general it needs a sheet metal fixing as soon as possible. The general shape ok. . The electrical fuel pump, very clever... nice idea. Interior for a 46 year old car, decent I guess. Keep it in the road, hit the street!!!
It's a nice car but I would have put a 340 or a 318 in it. That 360 is exactly the same engine I had in a Trailduster and it didn't matter what I did with it the best I could get was 10 mpg and that was whether I kept my foot in it all the time or I granny fed it. It would never change. There is one thing about that 360 with the 4 bbl carb though. It had a lot of power and would really move that big ol' Trailduster. That was a really fun vehicle especially when you took the fiberglass top off of it. I was told by a really good Mopar mechanic that the engine really needed a bigger cam in it and then you could start getting much better gas mileage. The cam that comes from the factory is for all purpose all driver types and is really a bad cam design for the engine. So, first thing replace the cam with a bigger cam but not a race cam just something to make the valves work like it should to put out the power that that engine is really capable of.
That's absolutely sweet! It's nice to know that I'm not the only one on the planet that likes to restore old snow blowers! Lots of luck for many years. Enjoy.
