Putting the toys away.

Sad to say that it’s that time of year… Snow is coming, Salt on the roads, Ice and shitty drivers. So it’s time to put the toy cars way… Pull the batteries, check tire pressure and pour in fuel additive for a long winter rest. While tooling around in the Dart one last time, I realized that I didn’t have any decent pictures of her. Heck, aside from a few mentions on twitter and facebook, I hadn’t even properly introduced her to the world at large.

Say Hello.

I found her on eBay, outta Georgia. And yeah she’s a real Southern hotrod… 1972 Dodge Dart Swinger.  The previous owner installed a big cam, big carb, headers, glasspacks and a bunch of other speed parts on the rebuild 318 v8. Unfortunately he also fucked up the transmission, and neglected the fuel and brake systems. All is well now – Just as reliable as the day she rolled off the line.

It’s going to be a couple months before she sees the road again. But that’s Ok. She’s got the caddy to keep her company in the garage.
