I've owned many. The famed slant six and if you wanted a race car get the 318. They were considered small cars back then but put one beside a new full size car and see for yourself. They held six passengers and were VERY user friendly. Some of the memories and compiments for these cars include..... Easy to service Straight glass for side windows which only took a turn or two Tortion bar front suspension Big trunk for a smaller car Adjustable solid lifters so you could quiet it down for another million miles An exhaust sytstem that could be replaced for the cost of a couple lattes and with pliers! Brushes in the alternator that could be replace for dirt without even taking it out -- Not kidding Real bumpers! OK you shouldn't bump things VENT WINDOWS!!!! Drip edges -- I think they should make car designers get in a car they made in the rain! ____________________________ I literally had to help someone with a newer car get in because they had a dead battery in their remote!! I simply asked if the key worked and they HADN'T THOUGHT OF THAT!! We already had the near perfect car and have been wasting effort since, Smile, T steve01832 Veteran Sep 26, 2006, 11:02 AM Post #2 of 5 (3479 views) Re: The Dodge Dart Sign In I remember those cars Tom. When I was in high school back in the early 80's one of my friend's had one. I had to adjust the carb on that about once every 6 months and replace the float every 2 years. But, you couldn't kill those cars if you tried. He retired it at about 250000 miles because the body had given up. If it didn't rot out he'd probably still have it today. What memories. Let's not forget the 75 Dodge Charger. That was my ride in high school. I had a 360 in that baby. What a boat. I used to smoke all the Chrysler Cordobas in that. Yeah, Mopar was the way to go in the late 70's thru the 80's. That's probably why they stopped making them. They didn't like the idea of cars lasting that long. Now you can't even get a car with a decent transmission. Like I always say at the shop "They're all s**tboxes, that's why they're here".

Drive a MoPar -- don't go FAR!! FORD = Found on road Dead!! I've owned so many cars it's insane. Even before I got out of high school I had so many I couldn't count them with my clothes on!
