Everyone's version of "cheap" varies I'm sure. But here's my low dollar hauler from back in the day...

69 Dart
OE 68 440 w/parts store tank, hone.
OE 67 heads, parts store VJ, not ported, 2.08/1.74 stainless valves
MP .484 hyd cam w/OE stamped rockers
OE electronic dist with 6AL
OLD Eddy Torker
Holley 750
Pro Parts headers (2")
OE 727 with MRVB
OE 11" converter
3.91 SG

Weighed 3340 with me in it, on a 9x28 slick, went a best of 11.84/114 in good air.

Added a glass 6-bbl hood and 9x30 slicks and went a best of 11.64/115.

Added at 240* -ish Crower hyd cam, 850 Holley, 4.30 gears, an old J converter and glass bumpers...went a best of 11.43/117

Always ran pump gas, NEVER broke...fun car! After a garage paint job, I had $4300 total in the car. Won back about $1000 over 2 years and then sold it for $4500 turn key. Yea, I'd like to have it back...




Seems like the common "theme" with most guys who had a car buildup like this is that they wish they had it back...... Nice build

Great Example
