next pass side trunk well lip

passenger side stripe bottom

That is a sweet car. What a find ! Build sheet included thats really cool. Keeps those pictures coming.

Cool stuff Bob, I'd just put that entire matt in a safe place and save it for reference later on. You could have some ink stamps made and practice stamping until you get a good match to add onto a reproduction mat.

Thanks Dennis and Scott
Scott please let me know what to be looking for and documenting


This appears to be the rear marker lens that I found in the car. Both appear to sort of be amber.

Note:
The top installed unit only has 2 reflector panels.And it's font is tward it's upper edge, it's much lighter in color

The one I am holding has 4 reflector panels,and is shorter, and a good fit for the rear of the car. It's font is tward it's bottom edge and it's much darker

The cars SPD is 505 cinco DeMayo. I see in Troy's post that they changed during production so hope this helps

So what reflector am I holding?

Car apears to have been off the road since 77, and when asked Tom said that sounded about right. It also does have 117K according to Tom, and the numerous maps are a hint as to why. The front bumper does have decals from much later, I suspect he changed the bumper while maintaing it more recently.

Yes thats a partial build sheet. It has tape across the top so I suspect it may have had a heater core

The tiny pink slip above that is a registration and it shows the origianl plate, swapped to a new style in 72, which it still wears today.

Nice Documentation. Is this a 1 owner car?

Yes Sir and 17 mpg? Wait a minute....brainstorm, that half of the build sheet could have been taped to the lower end of the glove box and if the tape came loose and it hung down I bet..... screwdriver in 5...4....3....

EDIT I suspect one of the light : bulbs could be a non OEM

the glove box's bottom was blasted and this made removal a little easier.

Funny almost reads like this car built on the DL for Tom ? Anyone know what the markings refer to?

Hoping for another sheet under the carpet

Did it have a little yellow/orange title? Two build sheets? That car just keeps getting better and better. Luv it, keep up the investigative work!

Oh man good idea duplicate the original title or better yet I will take him with me to pay the lost title fee then transfer into my name.... I need to do that quickly and retain the original Maybe when thats done you can see it

The Dart in 1969

Again, I'm sure I have a registration matching that plate

OK, I'm going to ask, Why would they (original owners) keep that car for 42+ years and NOW sell it? Wasn't it a part of thier past?...By the way, GREAT PIX!!

Very cool pics! It came with the same wheel covers as mine

Its going to be tough to get all that toilet paper wrapped correctly if you opt for a day 2 resto..
