Yes, the Doug's headers that are still sold today for the early Abodies have some slip joints, although not as many as what is pictured. Thanks. Just wanted to store that in the memory bank for when it comes time to fix my early A-body.

The set I had was brand new and looked to be pretty OLD. We used them on a 69 Dart for a few weeks and engine break in and when I gave the car to my Soninlaw he wanted to go with an original set of 340 manifolds I had. So we swapped them out and repaired the holes in the fenderwell of the 69 Swinger. I thought about using them on my 67 Dart Gasser but I want a FULL FENDERWELL HEADER for it.If anyone is needing a set like them I may be selling them before too long.

Everthing just slips together. The reason the original owner removed the headers that I have from the D/Dart was because they leaked. I wonder why? I think they were on the car for about a year.

He has yet to return my calls. It sits on a dirt floor in an old barn. 4142148-01-27-200803;59;16AM(2).JPG (683 downloads)

It had a factory auxillary cannister to store vacuum for the power brake booster. It was white with a red interior.It was bone stock with all the original 273 Hipo Dress up. It was an Automatic. It had the orignal deep steel wheels. I sold it for $1500 seven years ago. I bought it for $150. And it ran good.

They had a brand new Dart, they turned into a race car. It was a 273, yellow with black interior. For over 40 years now, I always thought it was a D-Dart. It just seemed so odd for me at the time that they would race a brand new Dart.

That was before they widened the road in the early 70s. I worked at the Vickers station across the street at Kellogg and Erie. There was a Fina next door, they are all gone. They would be 2 blocks west of Sunnyside school, if you know where that is. I noticed the Ceros candy store has also moved.

They didn't build 64 Hemi hardtops either.Built 35.No hemi 4 doors, built 3-5.There was a car I saw a few years back that looked to be a D-dart here locally.It had the headers, 4 spd and the codes on the tag.Car was a lt blue w/blue int 2 dr sedan.Unrestored.Not saying it was real but it sure looked to be.I would like to view it again and take a longer look at it.

Harolds was directly across the street. The last remaining parking lot light, finally came down just a few years ago. I was just astounded at 16 years old, someone would and could, do that to a brand new car. Of course, they wouldn't let me hang around, but I did sneak a few peaks at it. Loved how it sounded when they were tuning on it.

Going home from work last night, I remembered the name they painted on the side of the Harold's Texaco Dart. El Bandito! At 16, I was even more shocked that they did that.
