Damn, you've got my past cars owned beat by a mile lol... Only real highlights that aren't much of highlights is a 68 Dart w/ a posi and rebuilt engine from a plymouth granfury 360 police intercepter, and my RX-8 w/ a stage 3 turbo whose engine has now been resurrected in another body after totalling it. I wish I'd never sold the Dart tbh. It wasn't really anything special but it was fun to drive. New leaf springs, air shocks, disc brakes... really had that muscle car feel of terror you'd get going into a curve sometimes lol. What's even crazier is that a 68' Dart weighs less than a 08' RX-8 and looks like the fucker is twice the size.
I remember those Darts ... they were sweet looking!
Hands down my favorite feature was was the turn signal indicators located on the front of the fenders outside the car. Don't get me wrong my dart looked like a real hoopdee. Both back quarter panels were rusted out at the bottom and needed to be reskinned b/c of a trunk seal leak. It was fast and could eat a set of tires doing donuts quickly though.
Hey, not every car has to be perfect to be great for you!
My first car was as '63 Ford Fairlane 500 two door coupe ... bought it cheap, my Uncle had a body shop and I repainted it (he made me do all the work - LOL - except the painting), I blew the engine in like the first few weeks after I got it. Found a 'brand new' (almost no miles) '69 302 Mustang w/C-6 Transmission from a rental car that was totaled and dropped that in her. Then I gutted the interior and put in Mustang bucket seats. Never did finish the thing. So it looked good outside, but like shit inside. But it was my baby - LOL. I drove the wheels off of it ... a good time was had by all.
