I purchased this 1967 Dodge Dart GT Convertible from a man in Fort Meyers, Florida in December of 1999.  I knew that it would be a project car, but it was not quite in the shape I expected.  First the man said that it was running (and it did not) and failed to mention that the top did not function and that the front seats were not original.  The top I could live with as long as it was in good shape-which it was, but the seats not being original was really disappointing.  Since I had had the other Dart I knew how hard certain things were to find and seats are one of those things!

Originally it had a 6 cylinder engine and an automatic transmission.  We had an extra 273 v8 in the shop from another Dart that my dad had years ago.  So we began the rebuild.

Here are some of the engine build up pictures.
