The p.o. thinks the buckets are out of a different Mopar of some sort but they match the back seat in color and design so Im not sure

I like the Dart. I found one that I liked when I was searching but it was in further away than I wanted to travel

looks good I bet it's a fun car to bomb around in, I have a 63 four door falcon and love it.

yea - my dart was farther than i wanted to travel also hahaha i really like the buckets ---- there were some valiants i was looking at around the same time --
i dont know why but i think the darts and valiants are one of my favorite cars - falcons are right there with them -- theres just something about them that calls to me -- [P

Wow, that takes me back. When I was a kid my dad had two 2 doors - first one died and he bought another - that's when I got my love of cars & learned a lot working on them with him.
My intensions are to drive it as much as I can.
Future plans, when it warms up, are to paint it. The p.o. took the trim off to paint it and sanded a few spots but obviously didnt get around to painting it. May do a little detail work around the engine compartment and get new carpet and seat belts. Oh and swap on my wide whites

My first intension was to find a decent smaller car that would get better gas mileage than my 70 V8 truck, which wasnt hard to beat. I was focusing on cars like the 1st generation Chevy II, Falcon....... I found the usual cheap but peice of junk deals, alot of runs and drives but actualy didnt when I asked or they were further away than I wanted to go. Searched for almost a year but had set backs here and there too.

Good find man. I spent many years driving a '63 Valiant all over the country. I will have to dig up some pics for ya. Oh... In case you don't have any previous experience with 60's Mopars - The driver's side lugnuts are left hand thread. Don't want you to find out by snapping off a couple studs like some people do. Haha. It's best to press them out on your next brake service and install regular right hand threads all around, but just a heads up. Have fun!

Thanks for the advice. The previous owner did mention that to me. I think I will replace them. I dont have the best of memories so I could see myself snapping one off
cool car..I used to have a 2 door 64 the same color..had the little straight six and push button auto..I'd punch 1st gear and rev it til it absolutely wouldn't rev any higher then punch second and it would bark the little 13 inch mudgrips it wore..I bought it $100 from a friend of my dads, put brakes on it in his driveway and drove it home..about 1989 or so..young and dumb

Sounds like something I would do at that age. Who am I kidding, I DID THAT TOO[cl 1972 C10 with a 6 and 3spd!
Your 13" mudgrips reminds me, the p.o. of my car swapped some 14" wheels from a Dart. Said it was easier to find tires.
