FINALLY I got IT...... new addition

[44070dart]

But not just a new addition ..this is the car.

I said it here before but I feel so good I need to say it again. In 1970 I bought one of these and had it until Nov. 1979. It was stolen and I never got any of it back. Not insured so total loss. Then came family, grade school, high school, 6 years of college that mom and dad paid a LOT of blue collar dollars towards (best money we ever spent) and life in general. Good examples of these began to get big money and I couldn't justify spending that on a hobby car. Did I mention, I fell in LOVE with this car in 1968 when I first saw it, but I was just out of school and my dad would not co-sign for his crazy son.

Went to Canada Sunday and picked this up. With the money exchange I really feel like I got a smoking buy. It was owned by the same guy (3rd owner) for 33 years. He passed away a year and a half ago and his 75 year old wife said to sell it so she could give the money to her two grand kids. So I dealt with her son and son-in-law and after a loser who jerked them around for weeks they sold me the car. I thought it was sold to this loser and didn't hear from the owner, then out of the blue I get a call two weeks later that the car is still available, I was shocked and went to see it and that was it. Numbers matching 383, trans, and rear end. Solid everywhere, paint good enough, interior good. I'm long winded here, but I am crazy happy

Needs some small things, like getting 15 year old tires off it, but I started ordering a few things already ....and searching for a few interior parts...got the tail stripe before I got the car home.
