Clean 68-69 Dart GT in factory B-5 blue. Very few people notice the rear fender opening were raised 2" for tire clearance.

That is the size opening Chrysler should have had on the cars.

If you know of this silver Hemi 73 Dart you really know your 1970's history. car was recently brought back out after a 30 year storage.

whitetop, I remember an article about that Dart in Car Craft, I think. Was that a Hemi build if I remember correctly? I know that car and remember the article, but don't remember the specifics. Maybe if it was a Camaro I would, as I have those details seared/tattooed in my mind, lol, just like Gary Fravel's '68.

I am a big fan of the Dart/Duster but do not specifically remember this one in a magazine. If you or anyone can remember it being in a specific magazine and approximately what year I would be happy to search my library and see if I can find it.

The silver Dart was featured in all the big 3 mags of the day, Hot Rod, Car Craft and PHR approx between 77 through early 78. It was a significant car in the day not just because it had a Hemi but a well engineered NOS system that worked well on the street without grenading the engine....not the first street car to use NOS but one of the first that used it dependably and schooled others on what worked and didn't.

Do you need/want any copies of these magazines or do you already have them? If you need them I will dig them out after MCACN if that works.

Here is my wife's 1971 Duster when she first got cira 1993. She actually trusted me enough after dating only 6 months or so. &quot;See babe, there's a cool little project car I know of and it doesn't run, but you won't have your licence for 6 months anyways. I think you should buy it!&quot;

Having my dad as a resource probably gave me a bit too much confidence in being able to handle any project. The only part bad about that was how many projects I took in without consulting my parents. My mom drew the line after I had about 9 cars/ motorcycles at their house.

Yeah, it doesn't run but you gotta see my vision. Tires came off right away and the 15x8 Cragar's that couldn't fit my 65 Chevelle fit great! L60 LARAMIE rocking out back. This is also where I learned about small lug Chrysler. Someone previously had bought axles out back for the big pattern, but left the front's stock. Notice no lugs on the front. This was just a Photo-op.

I'll have to dig some better pictures, but this gets you the idea. Car was quickly painted a more universally likeable color. Found a set of small lug Cragar SS wheels and also found a set of Cragar Mach 8 wheels with a more neutral offset so we could run 295/50 15 in the stock wheel wells.

To my wife's credit, she saw more in me than I did at the time. Hard to beleive that was 20 years ago! Pretty cool she wasn't a poser either. She helped swing wrenches and raced it at the track. This was a track rental day and I don't think I drove it once!
