For anyone interested , I still have a '66 Dart 270 2-door with no rust and
the original window sticker for sale . It has a 225 Slant Six and a
Torqueflite tranny that were in the process of being pulled when I got
ripped off on a motor/tranny deal .
I was asking $500 OBO , but if any of you want it , you can have it for
$300 .
You can take a look at it at http://www.mindspring.com/~hemi/ad1.html
