Its a 1974 Dodge Dart. Just picked it up todoy for $900. It has some problems but my dad and i are going to fix them next monday which means the problems arent that bad. So ya i love it.

its got a 225 slant 6 engine, 904 3 speed transmission and the guy i bought it from put new exhaust on it but i dont know what brand. Im guessing flowmaster because his other Dart had it and he works for an auto company. It sounds very nice with a nice muffled sound.

body only has one dent in it, which you can see in the 2nd picture. That should be no problem to fix.

ya it has some scratches in various places but nothing a new paint job wont fix in the far future......other then that its all engine work that basically needs to be done, and its all minor. Shouldnt take more then 5 hours.

I've got a '69 (I think) Dart sitting in my driveway.  My dad owned it, its been sitting there since I was born.  Needs lots of work...

Nice job though

That's a pretty nice looking car. Decent price for it also.

my dad estimated the hp to be around 180. Its only a 225 slant v6 engine which is accually one of the more "powerful" v6's out their. Plus they get good gas milage. Im only getting 13 mpg right now but thats what tools are for, so this monday im going into my dads shop and my dad and i are going to fix everything up to where i can drive it to school on tuesday of next week.

The slant 6 is not a V6. Its more like a straight 6/Inline 6.

Veery nice. The engine is on the small side for a car like that, but it gets good gas and good looks anyway.
