You mistakenly said it’s a TBI engine (throttle body injection) it’s really a TPI (tuned port injection). Big difference. Very nice car by the way. Thanks for sharing.

In 1987 you could not get t-tops with a 350, you had to get the 305. If you wanted a 350 you got a hardtop. This changed in 88 or 89, but in '87 they were worried the car wouldn't be rigid enough for the extra torque. 350 was also only available with an automatic. If you wanted a manual you had to get a 305.

@@shawnwhite2572 It was %100 stock. Maybe Chevy held off on that combo til later in the production year, idk. But I’ve owned the 87, an 88 and an 89. I knew all those cars pretty well. I also clearly remember the 87’s with the 5.7 and T’s back in the day. The only thing you couldn’t ever get was a 5sp with the 350. Then, in the later years…90/91-92 the factory stopped making them with t tops. But I’m a previous owner and they’re out there.

gorgeous...they didn't scrimp on style even on the compacts. Not sure what all came with the western sport special package. Not sure Californians would know what a Dahdge Daht would be either...must be the export version of the Dodge Dart
@packard5682Ай бұрын
Interesting car but you keep saying all original car and yet it has been repainted and the motor rebuilt, and the top possibly replaced, and the carpet and armrest replaced and not even dyed to the correct color. And the A/C no longer functions, so it is not an "all original " car it is mostly original in appearance but not a survivor.

If it had been a Western Mass. Sport Special it would just be a pile of rust by now. I had a '69 Swinger with 170 slant six and 3-on-the-tree in the late 70s that I bought for $495. Not exactly a chick magnet; I should've had a Celica or similar, but I loved it. Same seats - they were in bad shape when I got the car in '76. Steering wheel was already cracked then - had a wrapper similar to this specimen.

That's pretty, nice survivor!!! Preserve it just as it is as much you can. I notice, and I could be wrong, but the three pointed Dodge emblems on the sides of the roof look upside down to me. Do you know if the vinyl roof was redone at some point, or mistake from the factory? BTW, you did not have to mention, or see the license plate to know you are from Maine, lol. Did I say license plate, or "numbaa plate", I am originally from Mass, so it sounds like home to me, thanks for the vid.

I had a Plymouth 'Scamp' a '73 (I think?) it was brown, and had the 'canopy' top, a sort of peanut butter color! I thought the 'Scamps' (just a first cousin to the Dodge Dart 'Swinger') all had bigger engines, but mine was a slant six car. I gave it to a friend, and she drove it for about 5 years.

Had one in high school in the 70's. Slant Six that you couldn't kill. Wish I still had it. And by "had one" I mean a 69 Western Sport Special.

I could loose any cop car in this, on the Southern Oregon coast. Stock. I have, actually, no cop car could keep up through the streets of Port Orford, Sixes River Road, China Mountain, Humbug Mountain S turns. I had one, with Stahlflex P205 60s. This car corners way better than it looks like it should, with rear air shocks. The 2.8L V6 was robust. Definitely a sporty car, tons of fun. Merkur Capri, made in West Germany. Tight tolerances. Mine, in 1984, 10 years old, would pop your ears when closing the door. So I kept 1 rear pop open window slightly open to avoid ear pops. That is how tight the then West Germans did it. Gorgeous car. My favourite car ever.

I do not know if you're aware. however they are now selling a toy car of the 1974 pontiac gto by johnny lightning in a red color. I don't want to put the exact link on here, since it may get deleted. it is easy to search for and purchase though. I know this is a 1974 chevrolet nova. however if enough people purchase that similar style of toy car and they sell out, then they may decide to make another one for the chevrolet nova style. it is in very limited number edition so you may want to get one. if you're interested in it.
