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?

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.
A guy about wrecked a semi truck when the WASP delete happened. I can always count on Derek to make me laugh my ass off
I’m always up for a good wasp delete 👍🙃
Put a 340 in it and head to the strip. Maybe a gasser!
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.
Use duster suspension parts to get disc brakes ,bigger bearings and baljoints. I had coil over Monroe’s and a 1 inch lift in the shackle.
Never had a Dodge
Same uncle had a Dart
Never had me a Dodge
Derick, throw a quick and dirty paint job on it ,do the electrical and bumpers and the windshield and you could take to town and show it off and sell it.
Sir, I was wondering if you buy dodge engines. We have a bunch and have one that is a 440 rebuilt lower half with cam shaft. Please contact me.
Reminds me of a Ford Maverick . The front end.. you don't need 4 but you kinda want 4 hub caps😃
Make a racecar out of it
Do you still have the Dart?
Put a for sale sign on it
did you do a part two of this 64 dart
Anyone see that dude taking a leak in the background lol
Dude. Did you really get a mouthful of gas? Holy shits man.
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.
Hilarious episode! Some assembly required! Love it!
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?
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.
The shot at 13:58 looks right out of an old western movie
My mom had the exact same car, well she did turn in front of someone and we got broadsided. So technically she had it for a little while, 😂
Good looking car. Reminds me of a mk.1 Ford Cortina.
Love to watch your episodes. My dad before I was born had a cyclone with push button transmission, Did you ever rescue one of them
This feller really gets a kick out of the wasp deletes
Dodge is always rust a lot that thing's full Bondo lol
Nice fired up after testing out ignition and never saw smoke😉assy.required
Love the show
And I get stopped for tinted windows?? Just sayin…..
I would put stock size tires on it, fix the brakes, reassemble, drop the tank, paint it, and get a seat cover.
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.
The Dart is well worth spending some time and money on it can't be many around.
Derek's mantra: If it ain't broke,
It ain't mine!!😂
Would love to see this again , make into working order
you drove a billboard , amazing the push button tranny shifted , dont blame ya i would not have drove it either………..
A GUY COULD PUT A V 10 VIPER MOTOR IN IT YOU WOULD HAVE TO CUTTHE FLOOR BOARDS THEY ARE ALREADY WEIGHT REDUCED
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
Derrick you are a WILDMAN. Keep up the good work,i'll keep watching.
Now on what other channel could you possibly hear a phrase like "Oops I've got the windshield jammed onto the accelerator."??
I love that dart.I would love to see you put a big block in it and turn it into a drag, and drive.
Good job young man. Making Dad proud.
Do you have the key on
Good decision
Those rear seats are 98% because they usually didn't take along the kids when they were drag racin'.
Build a drag car out of it
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.
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.
like to see t come back to life and back on the road
i kike dodges alot
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🙏
