After many requests for another Mopar, I caved in! I grabbed this 1964 Dodge Dart GT Sight Unseen, and attempt to get it running and driving again after sitting for many years! It’s pretty well torn apart, almost as if someone was starting a restoration on it and gave up. Think it will run?

  1. When these 1960s Dodge Dart GTs came out some had a 273ci V8, 4 speed, limited slip diff, and a sporty single exhaust.
    This one has the push button 3 speed automatic transmission. It also has the 225ci slant six, a wonderful engine.
    "Touch on" all the running gear to make it a good driver and sell it? Darts have no inherent failures.

  2. those old gals are getting real hard to find in solid condition Derek, as im sure you well know. she definately deserves a goin over and headin to town makeover.

  3. Derrick, My first car was a learn as you go 1969 Dodge Dart. One of the things that you failed to mention was the best tool for setting the gap on your distributor has been discontinued. I used to just pull off the side of the road from time to time and look on the ground for a ring pull beer tab that had been left behind. If you didn't find one you just opened another beer from the ice chest in the back seat or moved your feet around in the dirt until one cut your foot. This was before I was important enough to have a business card. That Dodge Dart was hard to kill. It finally met it's end when a telephone pole bit it in the grill. It was a faithful stead. I hated to have to put it down.

  4. I have several of 1977 pennies with mint marks and some without mint marks. But I found some errors on a few. Like for example where it says United States some of the letters are not fully there. But I haven't found any information about pennies that have those errors has anybody heard of those before?

  5. So, there IS a car you won't drive cause it's not safe. Wasn't sure that existed. LOLOLOL Great save, and love yer vidjas, that motivate me to take on some of those impossible projects.

  6. My first car was a 69 Dart with a 225 slant 6, and my dad was a long-time Mopar guy. The Motorcraft FL1A is a legit thing…he was also a Ford dealer mechanic, so we always had those in stock. We always ran the FL1A on the 225, as it's a much larger filter element than the Mopar part.

  7. I always have a giggle picturing Derek driving cars like this through NIMBY neighbourhoods. The sorta folks who dislocate their fingers from calling the cops so hard whenever there's a smidge of noise

  8. I had a 63' Dart, same motor as this one. Changing points was a hoot. Why did they jam the lightinin' whirler down into a crammed space? Anyway, I totaled it one evening, very unfortunate event but I loved the push button shifters.

  9. I've always thought the resistor was required to drop the voltage to the coil when the engine is running to save on the points along with the capacitor.. In other words, crank on 12 volts, run on 6 volts. I've thought a coil is a coil is a coil. I recon I've been wrong.

  10. God bless you and your family Derrick. Absolute bestest channel on the inner webs by a mile and a half. You got a 99.97% fan from Hawaii. Thank u for what you do🙏
