Great stance - looks ALL business!

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.

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

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.

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

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.

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

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.

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

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!

Yep, and add a 440-6 or a Hemi and call it perfect. Oh, and WHITE headers snaking out from underneath.

That look's sooooo cool PXTX,some Duster. *Paul

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

Everyone remembers a local car when growing up they consider magical...a car that just takes you back to a different time.

This is mine. A guy in my hometown, Phil, bought this '71 Duster brand new and today he still owns it today with 17k original miles and paint. I remember this car very well because his dad's Texaco gas station was right next to my grade school and he would come by the school every day about the same time and I would peer out the window which was road level just to catch a glimpse of it. Still remember the white coated headers sticking out underneath and with the brown paint and Cragars it just had a wow factor. Car was not the fastest to begin with (318 Duster) but it just had that &quot;high school&quot; look we remember so well and it was always exceptionaly clean..and still is.

The dent in the rear quarter was from a errant baseball thrown at his senior picnic.

Car had Sun gauges and tach , Torker intake, Nationwise (NRS) valve covers and L60-14 Dayton bias tires and E-70's on the front.

Phil told me he bought the car from money he earned working at his dad's gas station since he was really young and the first dealer he went to did not take him seriously at 16 years old so the next dealer he took cash and they did. I think his dad did have to make the official purchase due to his age.

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

Phil's Mom was an artist and she hand lettered some lyrics from a song by the group Traffic, <span style="font-style: italic">The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys </span>on the rear tail pan. Song lyrics or some similar philosophical quote lettered on cars was so 1970's.

Here are the lyrics.

<span style="font-style: italic">The percentage you're paying is too high priced
while you're living beyond all your means
and the man in the suit has just bought a new car
from the profit he's made on your dreams</span>

Motion Duster?

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

Paul, cool Motion Duster. I would presume it was built/tuned by Motion and not just a sponsor.

Hi-Performance Cars had an article on a 73 Dart Sport Motion built. I believe it had a 340 in it.

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

Very cool White top. Do you have any more pics of that Duster?.I remember My Dads first Company car was a Straight 6 duster that same brown with those odd looking full wheel covers with white wall tires.car was only 2 years old at the time.

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

I know this Dart is a Mr. Norm's car and is presumed to be a real Dart Sport GSS! Of course the HEMI makes it more interesting. Sounds like the 340 didn't last too long or something. I didn't know it was in the magazines BITD.

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

Very NICE! Looks like that lil fella is right at home with those cars! Are you from Ohio?

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

Yes, I am. Boardman (youngstown) to be exact.

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

Cool! I grew up in Canfield. My folks bought their cars from Fredrick Dodge when it was located in Canfield.

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

the blue bee is a frederick car and I have the sequential vin to that car which also came from frederick. where do you live now?

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

Dayton and Phoenix. Do you have your paperwork on your two Frederick cars? Frederick gave Galen Govier all of his old dealership paperwork about 5 to 7 yrs ago. My Dad lives in Boardman now.

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

Cool cars (and rascal!). [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

Any more pics of the blue and black BEE [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

Just saw your first post with yr <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">Dad's</span></span> blue Bee, that he bought new at Fredericks Dodge in Canfield. Did your family used to live there? What engine, tranny &amp; rear came in the car? Love the white underside, blue headlites, tires and wheels. Looks just right!



Dad lives near Glenwood Av and Rt 224 south of the Boardman shopping center.

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

I have the stuff on the one, but not the other. Bobby has contacted galen, but hasn't gotten a thing back yet (go figure). I live about 2 minutes from your dad right by a&amp;w restaurant. small world. Was your day 2 nova in hemmings muscle machines not too long ago?

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

I was at that a&amp;w a couple months ago with my Dad. Heard it was closing down [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] . Bobby F. Was a couple of yrs behind me in school, I did not know him.

Yes that was my D2 Deuce in HMM. Definitely a small world. How did u end up with the othe Frederick car so close in VIN sequence?

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

dumb luck and good karma. Nice ride you have there. I'll PM you my info so I don't tie up the whole thread.

<span style="font-size: 14pt">Good idea. There are a lot of closet mopar lovers around here. No sense getting them all worked up! :</span> [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

LOVE those two Super Bees, and that Cutlass is cool as it reminds me of my mom's old Cutlass (that thing did the best burnouts).

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

The Cutlass is my favorite. A guy in HS had the same exact car/color and Cragars back in 1979-1980.
I've always liked those cars ever since.

Re: Day 2 & Street Freak Mopar Thread
 

Funny you guys should say that. I was going to list the cutlass for sale last weekend, but didn't get to it. It has 30,100 original miles and is a total survivor. It has never been in the rain. That's all original paint, painted double pinstripe, and vinyl roof. The car is an incredible survivor (even the gas cap is still anodized). 350/4bbl air and I still have 4 of the original tires it left the factory with (1 has a busted belt) PM me if any of you are interested. Only $6,000.00 without the wheels and a little more with them.
