The '75 is nice but the '79?
Looks like a dart with a Buick nose and Dodge Aspen roof.

I like those cars. I like Australian cars too.

My dad knows this guy who has 3 aussie cars.

2 are like a mavric shelby thing, not totally sure.

And the other one is a mix of few diff years Camaros. They are quite intresting to say the least. I love how they're different looking.

Ditto on the Ausie cars. I've often thought of trying to talk to someone South of the Border. It seems after Chrysler recalled the Kelsy-Hayes whells in 69 they fixed the problem, and continued to offer them in Mexico. I've seen some fairly recent pics of 4 door Darts withTaxi beacons on the roof and Kelsy-Hayes wheels. I just had a thought. Hey Danny, can you hook us up on any info or contacts over the border on those wheels? I'd be interested in any info out there, Joe.

yeah, I did some research on the Aussie 6 cyl Hemi when I first heard about it. 

could be cool to see an early american Val or ? with one popped in there.

Capt Jack,
We had Darts here from 69 to 81. The models from 69 to 78 are just like any U.S. built Dart from 67/69 generally speaking, but as times goes by, we had a bunch of different taillights, grilles, dashes and interior, and some mechs are brasil only too, almost all our cars here have a rear axle that are just a chevy 10 bolt and a weird wheel bolt pattern of 5X4.250" that belonged to early Simca cars produced here. Also the tranny is a clark unit, nothing to do with A833, and the bolt pattern to the bellhousing is just like the ones found in chevy cars, thou the input shaft has the normal Mopar lenght. From 79 to 81, our cars have the very same look of the U.S. built from 73 to 76, but we had some luxury versions that came with the brasil only front end with 4 headlights. Hood and fenders are the same. We never had any engine other than the 318 LA, and we only had the 2 dr coupe, 23 models and 4 dr sedan, the 41 model. No convertibles, no 2 dr sedans and no fastbacks. Mopar produced around 93.000 darts here.
