When Elvis Presley passed away I was in Inglewood California fresh out of high school at 17 years old a very sad day

Beautiful 72 Dodge Dart Custom, the fancier if the two trim levels. The 318 is sweet. Try to find a 72 grill for it. That is a 70/71 grill in there now. I learned to drive on a 72 Dart sedan so basic it had manual steering, unassisted 4 wheel drum brakes, and even a rubber foot pump for the windscreen washers. Electric pump was included when the 3 speed wipers were ordered.

Excellent video nice see old 1972 Dodge Dart with 318 2 barrel also Air Conditioning and remember those cars very well to my aunt had 1974 Dodge Dart Swinger 318 V8 also mint green with white vinyl and 4 door plus green interior! Her was on last on road in 1984 in 2002 got sold to New owner and he drives to!

Ya gottah love the total disreguard for having a lit butt next to gasoline/fumes. Very trusting people. Mustah had a fire extinguiher handy. That is a very responsive engine for having been sitting ! My dad bought a 73 Scamp slnt 6 new. Got T boned in 79. He survived.

My grand parents bought a 66 dodge dart brand new. Two door basic beige slant six, three on the tree. It lasted for about thirteen years however, the first ten years or so, it was only driven to church on Sunday. Grandpa had a 1956 Olds 88 he woukd drive to work daily.

I think the 225 slant six is one of the most durable engines out there.

always loved these cute little Darts and Plymouth Valiants .. my mother’s first car was a 62 Dodge Lancer identical to the Valiant other than badging .. those 318 engines were indestructible! .. we had one in a new 66 Plymouth Belvedere II 3 seat wagon first car we ever had with factory air conditioning

Man, this REALLY makes me wish my 1974 Dart Custom coupe. It had a 225 Slant six, but it was plenty peppy. It only had 16k miles on it, but if I would've kept it I would've swapped in a 360 LA (and I had one in my garage from my 1983 Ramcharger), but I sold it shortly after like an idiot. My uncle bought it, drove it for a few hundred miles, and sold it for $1000. I also got a 1976 Buick Skylark sedan with an Olds 260 (4.3L 110HP) V8 with 34k miles from the same people for free. I drove that more than the Dart.

@@phillipsrundripbubblecompa9232 Also, thanks for the compliment. It's been a labor of love, but I don't get to take it out much often, so I've been thinking about selling it to someone who will. It makes 709 whp at 34 psi, and it's best time to date is 9.56 @ 155 MPH. I work six days a week though, so it's tough to get time to mess with it.

Small bolt-pattern, 7.25"/9-bolt rear, probably 10" drum brakes, 14" rims-but may be the 5.5" versions due to it being an AC car. Has the variable-speed wipers, HD cooling, tinted windows. If you convert it to disc brakes, go '73 up. Big bolt pattern, 5 on 4.5" spread- you'll have to throw in the rear end, but covert to an 8.25. Later K-member has spool mounts for the engine and better sway bar mounting. That looks to be very solid & worth doing. PS- get a starter for an '89 Gran Fury. Not half the size & weight, spins much faster, and 1/3 the draw.

@@phillipsrundripbubblecompa9232 for safety & better wheel/tire selection, the BBP & at least front swaybar (factory parts swap) is highly recommended. '73-up was the year Chrysler standardized the spindle across the board, so you get big bearings & the 11.75" discs from the last of the B &R bodies bolt on (use the caliper & adapter bracket). I have a sedan that runs that with the offset UCA offset bushings (rears spun 180⁰ out), poly sway bar bushings, 340/Formula S/A38 (cop car A-body) torsion bars, boxed LCA's, alignment set to cut understeer a bit, FFI steering box, perimeter welded K-member (with braced inboard box mount) with a skid plate,V8 HD leafs with poly bushings...You'd be shocked at how well that works to make it handle & brake. In traffic it has saved the car a couple times from other drivers. A lot more fun to drive, too

I've owned 3 Darts. Had a Dart Swinger with the 318. great cars

When cars bin sitting for so long,, beside braking loose and crank, have minimum compression, I allways make sure it's got spark, replace the carburator kit, have gas pomping , from that point, IT never fail starting, This Dart, I'd make a sleeper of IT!
