So, my car is a 1967 Dodge Dart 270 coupe. All original (For now). Cinnamon Gold Poly paint, apparently from the fender tag thats what the car was painted when it rolled off the line in 67, so thats what I repainted it. Stock 273ci V8 putting out about 190HP at the moment, I definately gotta beef that up a bit. Stock black leather interior all original, I had the front seat redone because of a big hole in the driverside. The rear seat is the original seat that came in the car. I think I told Ivan it had 200K miles but I was a tad off sorry, it has 163K miles about a 1/4 probably put there by me.

Mods done already.
-Heavy air compressor for air conditioner removed to lighten engine and improve horsepower
- Engine rebuilt with new gaskets and freeze plugs
- Carborater rebuilt (Still doesnt work right)
- New black carpet
- Reapholstered front seat
- New rear quarterpanels
- Powdercoated black rallye wheels (2 for now, need 2 more)
- New grille
- New gas tank (Mine was full of holes)

Mods I'm getting ready to do
- A set of hooker headers (Headers)
- A set of purple hornies mufflers (Mufflers)
- 600CFM Holley Carb (Holley)
- New intake, nots sure on what kind I'm going to get yet.
- New headliner (My old one has a hole in it)
- New taillights (Mine are pitted and have holes, not pretty to look at. I really wish I didnt need a new set cuz new tailight bezels and lenses for this car cost 450.00 a set)

My photobucket was inactive for so long they deleted it so I add a post with some pictures later on and theres still this one video for those who wanna hear it and see it.
Dart on Youtube

And I'd be happy to answer any questions on anything you wanna know about it.

Thanks man. ^^

Thats actually a pretty cool looking color. I think I was looking into Darts years ago but couldn't find a decent one.

All in all, you got yourself a real good looking machine, buddy. Good for you! Wish I had as much luck when I was looking for a muscle car, lol.

I looked for a few years with my dad before I found this one. Belive it or not, I took this over a 69 roadrunner. Course I dont think my dad wanted his 15 year old son to have a 69 plymouth with a 440 six pack at his disposal lol.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~!!!!

I can't wait to see this thing finished. I'd always wondered what went into a restoration since the few people I know who do them might take years and years to get the car to a point that they're happy to drive it on the road. I have a feeling this is going to be a damned fine example when its done.

Like what Crash said, I am definately looking forward to that being finished. Big Mopar fan here. : P

I myself am planning on doing a restoration, once I have a bit more money to start off with. Currently looking for a 70' Challenger.

Well I'll definately keep you guys posted on the car, Ill make sure to keep it updated, it's definately drivable now but its missing alot of nic-nac things like crome pieces and the emblems. I'm bidding on an origional steering wheel now.

Looks real good.

Thanks, itll look better once I'm not laid off work and can afford to insure it and drive it. I't sucks but I dont have the cash to insure it and pay half on the truck insurance with my dad since he also drives it.
