I have been after this particular car for about 4 years now, finally the guy stoped over to my house and said he no longer wanted the car and told me its for sale for $4,000, I took it home tonight for $3,000. I think I good deal it has a matching set of 14" ralleys with center caps and trim rings, 60K miles on the odometer and a great running 318/auto that I was able to drive home (5 miles :cheers: ). Here are a couple pics, they were taken in the dark... in the rain....
Now I have to figure out if I leave the stock 318 in there or put the 500 cu in big block in there

Another pic... ya in needs some work but, its got me very excited.

Another

and another

...and the last for now

Congrats on the new ride!

Cool car!

..even cooler price.

Warm up the 318 with a pair of 360 heads, 4bbl. etc.

Those little a-bodys will really scream with good smallblock.

Looks really clean ! Love those A bodies ! Have fun with it.

Thans guys, gonna have to work a few quirks out but, thats to be expected.

Nice car, I have a 72 Swinger myself, I have a 318 w/ 360 heads boded .030 and a nice cam with a 650 holly & headers, bought it 20 years ago with 60k on it also but I paid 500.00 for it. took it apart 18 years ago raised a family and now I am assembling it,I really love that car. I hope you get aas much pleasure out of yours. Ed

Aw, it's cute!
I'd say keep it a small block. Like this

Can you paint it turquoise and tell people it's still a 318?

It's Cute??? Nice, maybe I will get vanity plates that say "CUTEDART"

Nice ride! i like it! i noticed several guys say to put on some 360 heads on the 318....isnt that going to lower the compression and inturn not help performance at all?

I have been building a 500 cu in stroker to put into my Dakota, but I am thinking about putting it in the Dart instead . There are no big block darts around me as far as I know. There are a few small blocks though.
