Wow man that is one nice ride. I'll be at that stage one of these days. It's funny most of the Darts I see start life as a funny color green. 5 stars from me dude.

very( very very nice. love the color.if you dont mind, what color is that anyway? you left a comment about my 70 project that i aquired last year. its actually vitamin c orange(according to the code) i have it in primer and ready to paint. going back original color with it and new vinyl top. leaving the 318 adding air and power steering. i have everything i need to put her back together,just waiting on money to have it sprayed(not that good yet) you have some nice mopars. check out my blue 71 swinger, nice to find someone who like the little critters, prettiest car dodge made in that era if you ask me. i have 13 darts in all from a 68 gt convertible all the way to 72 models. take care, keep in touch
