It's getting closer... 69 Dart Race car - 05/30/14 01:50 PM

I found about 10 pictures of this car from 1970. In all the pictures the car had plain black steel wheels on the back. The last 2 I've found the car has had slots on the back. I talked to dad about it but he doesn't remember when he changed to slots. Regardless now the slicks are mounted on slots. I think I like it better...
Special thx to the guy in Ohio who hooked me up with the NOS DODGE emblem for the hood.
A few more pieces of window trim, some more tuning and I hope to make a pass this summer.

273 rods
Racer Brown SR-21 solid cam
Eddy alum heads
1.5 ratio rockers
Doug's headers
M-1 intake
C&S Specialties 750 Holley Carb

If it tips the 12's with a 3.23 gear I'm happy with it.
Dad is 75 and hasn't drag raced since 1971, he doesn't need to go any faster...

This has got to be one of the COOLEST builds on this board! A recreation of your Dad's stocker that HE is going to make laps in at 75 years young? A W E S O M E ! ! !

SAVOR this time with your Dad.

Oh, and great job on the car, too!

Re: It's getting closer... 69 Dart Race car - 05/30/14 08:09 PM

349 ci. with the .060 overbore

318/340 cranks are the same dimensions.

If it hooks, it should go deep in the 12's...yes with 3.23's!

Looking forward to the track report...

One of the coolest things I like about it is the fact I was able to get the painter of the original car to do the re-creation also. I owe a huge debt of thx to Charlie Murray in Grantsville Md. for that. Charlie is 72 years young and painted this in December 2013.

I really dig it, and the paint is outstanding! I especially like the lace work. Whole combo is awesome!

Hopefully...Then again it never seems like they're finished..BTW if I do get back into the 65 it will probably be the AWB Coronet I started a while back. Stay in touch.
