Sonny, my old racing buddy who I now work with at NAIT is big time into Darts.  You would like his latest creation which is a 1969 Dart that he built.  He brought the car up from the states so it had zero rust and he completely restored it and shoe horned a new 5.7 l hemi into it.  It has fuel injection, runs like a dream with plenty of power.  New meets old so to speak, even has air conditioning and soon to be power windows.   I will get a few pics of it and post.  It has the old K-member and rear back seats out of my Duster in it....lol.

I have a 69 Dart GT, it came out of the US, this is this is the car prior to disassembly, it was an original 273 V8 automatic but I am converting it to a GTS clone with a 408 stroker 5 speed, just no money to finish it right now  :(

Sonny the 72 with a 340 is an extremely rare care, they only built about 80 of them and all of them were sold in Canada

Here are some pics of Gerry's Dart with the 5.7 Hemi.  Taken at lunch today, we went for lunch and a quick drive in it.

I know it's not a car but this is interesting you don't see many pickups like this that were bought and put away.

Pretty pricey not sure they will ever get it but it's a nice unit.
