Not sure what category this falls into.. one repaint... all original panels, clean California car... 67,000 original miles....

Just bought it.. plans are to add a few things to the exterior to bring it close to one we had years ago... then pull the /6 auto in favor of a 340 4 speed.... future car for our son.... he's 9 now.

Tnx for looking...

Cool Dart Sport! Looks like a great start, that thing is ultra clean. Some stripes would really wake that car up. Be sure to update your progress, I;d love to see more.

Nice looking ride . If its going to your son when he's of age , you may want to leave the /6 in there for a year or so if you catch what im sayin . Maybe be a Grad present or somethin to get the small block ... with good grades ... maybe a bigger cam

Good luck

I think that's a fairly rare color. F1 isn't it(73 only). Nice score!

Darren, you are correct... it's a ONE year only color and I really like it. I've already purchased the stripe and 1/2 vinyl roof moldings....!

As for the drive train, since it's such low miles it's probably a good idea (as mentioned) to leave it a /6 for a while... but I've got to get rid of the auto... it'll get a stick!

Tnx guys.... I'm really glad I found it. So, I have purchased the white vinyl roof, chrome roof trim, white stripe, right chrome mirror, new fender turn signals and was able to buy the wheels (tires and rims) back from the guy who bought my Dart Sport as he took them off right after he bought it from me and had them sitting in his garage! I do still need a hood scoop....!

Now, I've decided I'll leave the /6 in but will start gathering parts for the conversion to stick!

Here's a picture of what It should look like when I'm done....

My very first car was that colour "mist green", mine was a 73 Charger SE. Yours looks nice.
