..."alot of work and it looks stupid

That's just your opinion--and we all know what those are like, kinda ugly and full of shit like yourself.

[bowtie0069]

Hey Camreonjo,

You're not a real bright guy are ya? We took a smoldering pile of crap and turned it into a car that is loved by people everywhere--just because you have no taste and don't understand the historical signifigance...well, what can I say except you're a putz! BTW, no stock Dart would come close to selling for the amount paid by the new owners you moron.

It is so wrong to destroy a classic like that

[bowtie0069]

@Puterdad

Classic?! It's a Dart for gods sake, they're everywhere. That car has been seen and admired by people all over the world (Literally; it resides in England, has been to Germany and France...) People love it now--it never got a second glance in stock form. BTW, we've hacked up a few of them, some Nova's (far more collectible cars) Chevelles, the newest one is a 64 Comet (also much rarer than a Dart)

Doesn't it need to go on the street/road test for rego .

[bowtie0069]

What is rego? The car is street driven to the track and any other place it goes. It is fully licensed and insured in the state of California.

that thing's sick!! gotta love nostalgia classics

[AAGASMAN]

This is a great looking car and a real flash back to what Hot rods were before you could just order from a parts catalog.Maybe some of you Wanna Be hot rod guys need to go back from 1963,64,and 65 and read about altered wheel base cars and why they were built that way--Super car Dale.

awsome dart ..! great job..

[jamespetit1]

Some of you's are a real bunch of idiots. This car is SWEET. Go watch West Coast and ChipFoose lower everything and throw 20's with low profile tires on everything. How original...Keep it up old schoolers!!!

@Puterdad its a dart! turned into a dragster! nothing destroyed about it at all.. i happen to REALLY like darts and other a body's, alot..but this is not the worst thing that could have happened to this car

[clcs13]

awesome dodge man 

[johncartelli]

taller means more unstable if a sudden turn is made...not much of a problem if on a dragstrip...but being a street legal car..makes it more dangerous...sounds great btw..

beautiful

I grew up at SoCal dragstrips from the end of '63 until drafted (Vietnam) in '69 and that, of course, took me thru the heart of AF/X altered wheelbase cars (Landy, Leal and so so so many others) so I can appreciate the retro look but how many other people, in today's automotive world can appreciate, even understand, what it's all about? Where are the long tubes on your Hilborne mechanical injectors? And is there an Art Carr 7,000 RPM stall speed torque converter behind those dashboard buttons
