I just picked this up last week. '74 Dart Sport, 318 auto. It has a bunch of goodies in it. For the most part I'm just going to leave it alone and drive it for a while.

thats got to be a challange after seeing all the hot rods on this site! bbbbbbbbbbiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggggg block dart or duster.com.
Good lookin find. Lots of potential what ever way you chose to go.
Well I grabbed this just to cure my itch for a while because my BIG BLOCK Demon will not be done for at least another 2 years.
I have a ton of ideas I'd like to do to this but for now I'm just going to give it the TLC that it needs and drive it for the summer.
Ted
Well since you already have yourI'd go with a stroked 360, upgrade the suspension, and just leve the rest alone.
con grats on that good look´in car.. i got one that vas red w/wite vinyl , sun roof, black buckets and console , folding rear seat and 318 cid . what options does youre have ??
This was a California car. Pretty plain Jane. was originaly a 6 cyl a/c car but now all that is gone. I'm ok with no a/c. Dont really need it too much here in WI.
Right now I'm re-doing a bunch of stuff that previuos owners neglected like MAKING THE WIPERS OPPERATE!!!!
That car looks great just the way it is. I for one am glad you are driving it, as I know too well what happens when you tear into it. One thing leads to another and a few years later you are wondering if it is still worth all of the work and fuss. Drive on brother!!!
I wish my '70 Dart would have been that nice to start with!

Well I finally got the Dart registered on Friday and took it out for a spin last night. Went to the local Dairy Queen for their cruise night. It ran pretty good, but as we all know there are always things to change/tweek/adjust ect.
Ted
I pulled the 318 out a few weeks ago to freshen it up and found the block was cracked. So now it's time for a 408" kit.
And so it begins.
Ted
Ah yes, the 'might as well' scenario.
