Do you have any under hood or trunk pictures?




There is a picture of the trunk higher up, I'll look if I have anything else. The car currently is on the rack over my GTX since I'm doing extensive work on the truck, I'll not be able to get to down again till around Christmas.

About that time the seat covers from Legendary might be in!

And something "new" from a dealership in Iowa, '71 vintage. There is a '71 Fury on the reverse side.




Got some '71 matches meself...

Got to be some of the rarest 'memorabilia' I've ever seen...




Just dumb luck I stumbled over them on Ebay while looking for something else.

Great find Gary! I love it. I may have that Plymouth trunk emblem for you. When my '71 X is painted in the spring, I'll have to meet up with you to watch more of your old race videos of the '67 Dart with "our" old 340




Much obliged for the emblem!

Did I mention that I'm building another '67 Dart? =)

Work picks back up in another week or two after a 2 year hiatus.

That would be very cool! I'd be up for that if possible.

Still dinking around the the blue GTX at the moment, hoping to go racing at the end of the month.

Never did get racing this year, life just keeps getting in the way.

Been working on making life a bit simpler by selling off my second '70 GTX and my beater Neon and purchasing a new Challenger.

The Sebring is in the work bay (going to be this winters project vehicle) for minor mechanical issues, just a good going over and the front seat covers and the dash pad. In the spring I'll decide if I want to downsize further and sell it or keep it.

I love the car but with so many things pulling at me.. there is only so many hours in the day and I still have a Dart and Reliant to attend to.

Gary

Started work on the car- Has a few oil leaks so were going to start there changing out the valve covers gaskets and the input seal on the power steering box. Also doing valve guide seals. all original!

My son who is 14 is doing some of the work as he has started in the automotive class at the local tech school.

Already had his first two mishaps! He found the starter positive terminal with a wrench and did a little welding and damaged a draw slide on his new tool chest when he lowered the lift. He left the draw open and the edge of the lift caught it on the way down.

Out $25 for new slides and no other damage, taught him a good lesson.

Pulled the front seats yesterday and stripped down the drivers, seat foam is mint under the cover!

Has some IBM card stitched into the covers with trim code and indication where to stitch, I'll try and take pictures tonight.

Carpets and floorpan look immaculate, no sign of a build sheet yet. Looked in the seat backs and rear seat bottom. Will try and look under the carpet tonight.

Slight mystery- On the passenger seat, outer, there was a large steel washer between the seat hinge and the seat bottom. On the drivers side, no washer at all. You can clearly see where the washer was on the passenger side with no imprint or marking on the drivers seat.
