Go with a NA 6.4 hemi, 11:1 compression, long tube with 3" exhaust. Have the exhaust sound like a modern OEM challenger. I have a 76 and 72 Darts . 😂😂

LOL funny how I didn't need to see the end of the video to know the previous "guy" was a meth enthusiast.

19:20 never try to understand the mind of a meth head.

just came from the last video on this car, man why do tweakers have to ruin everything they touch? I could feel the anger you were experiencing when you went to get your car back. I also sold my high school/first vehicle and I've always deeply regretted it. Mine was a 1964 chevy c10 short bed, 350 4 speed posi dual glasspacks, it was an awesome high school truck and it was the truck I grew up in with my dad driving. sold it in 2008 after high school because I couldn't afford to put gas in it anymore. I've looked for it for ages and never saw it for sale. unfortunately or maybe fortunately I never kept contact with the guy I sold it to.

So....power tour 2025 ride?

Small world, you were with a group at Mt. Rushmore this past summer on the way back from Hot Rod Power Tour. One of the guys took a photo for my wife and I! Had a feeling you guys were driving the Mopars parked in the ramp, then I saw you in a Junkyard Digs video, thought that was cool...then in a Craig909 video a couple weeks ago...glad I found your channel, awesome builds, even cooler in person!

I wonder who the special guest will be 👀 Another great video my friend 👏🏻👏🏻

Awesome that you got your high school car back! Even though it’s dirty, neglected, and somewhat “modified” by the PO, it still has good bones and I can’t wait to see it running the streets again! It really is clean - we north-easterners don’t see 55 year old car like that over in these parts. Can’t wait to see if it’ll run again!

You just need a C body and an D body truck now to get the whole set!

I'd do a V-8 transplant asap. California, huh? Where at? I'm up North about 100 miles from Sacramento. Except for the millions of annoying commercials, great video.

The dart isnt in terrible shape I hope you respect that you got your high school car back a do it justice i think thats cool wish i could get mine back

‘Smoke tires, not meth”😂

Definitely following this build!

I had a 71 Valiant in High school and while looking for a Duster I came across a deal on a 71 Dart Swinger project I couldn't resist 🤷‍♂️

My grandfather had a 72 Dart! It’s funny because he gave it to us when he got a new car in the late eighties/early nineties when I was little and I never really thought about it as a cool car. Now I wish we’d kept it, but the doors would fly open while it was locked if you leaned on them just a little bit. His had a black vinyl soft top and was bright blue. I’m sorry that other guy took such shitty care of your car. It was really satisfying as a viewer to see it get cleaned out, but it must have sucked to find what you found in something that was so important to you. Dick move on the part of that other dude. Looking forward to seeing it get brought back to life. 🥹

capasiter,

Love this old ride because it’s literally identical to moms dark green Plymouth valiant except it was a 340 car, we went on so many long road trips over the 25 years it was in family and then went to my brother lol, I really enjoyed this video as it brought back so many memories from the 80”s which was a fabulous era 😂

That damn glass pipe probably also explains no oil in the pan and the rod knocking. I was gonna say Moe called in sick and Curly was in charge, but even Curly would have had sense enough not to suck that glass pipe. it destroys everything it touches. Consider yourself lucky that the car still even exists at all.

Please tell me those were legit gardening gloves 😂. Can't wait to see this rocket!!

Looks better for sure. Wheels turned out great!

What a dumb a

Mint oil, mix a little with water in a spray bottle and spritz everywhere. Supposedly spiders do not ike the minty freshness. Have also heard for long term storage outside, mothballs under hood, in trunk and interior keeps rodents away.

That is the BIGGEST nest I have ever seen under a hood. Wow,

hi good ep i watch the other ep on it im glad you got your car back.now its time to get it up and running . its going to take time and money plus love to fix . Maybe you should get a 340 or 360 ci engine and ac for the car ok .

hi just watch this ep i like it . The guy you sold it to really fuck up your dart and get rid of that air cleaner it is the worst kind to have on any car.you have a lot to do to get it up and running going to watch ep now when you get it back ok.

Looks awesome, my favorite year darts were 70 and 71. Will be watching

The dart may have had a rough recent history, but it's got a great future. Can't change what's already been done, but I'm certain the vision you have to clean it up will have it looking mighty pretty once she's all done!

Project Name: Rehab

That's a clean 70. I had a 67 back in the mid 90's. Looking forward to seeing you build it

Had a Valliant 2 door that looked almost exactly like this when I was in my teens, great cars. Those wheels are still awesome, total hotrod vibes of the period, keep em. Always loved these more boxy late 60's/early 70''s mopars.

I believe the red item was a capacitor for a car stereo.

One thing that irks me about the hobby is, if I sell a car I care about, chances are good, some idiot is gonna ruin it. It could be worse but the guy you sold it too, really did some dipshit moves.

The Dart sure cleaned up nice! Can't believe how good the wheels looked too! Looking forward to hearing it run again! My first car was a 73 Dodge Dart Swinger with a 225 and auto trans. The A-bodies are great! Should look good next to the Coronet 440 when its back to driver status!

Car cleaned up nice, look forward to seeing more
