It was a mess when I got it and I was just going to make it a driver. That's why it has the incorrect engine in it now. I sold it 2 years ago to a guy that paid me what I wanted for it - unrestored. I talked emailed him a week or so ago about the car and he told me that Richard Ellis has the correct engine for it.
I bought Ted Spehar's old D/Dart back in Oct. 2002 -- 2 months before I retired from Chrysler. Al Adam called me up while I was working in the lab and asked me if I was interested in buying the car. I already had one D/Dart......what was I going to do with a second one? We were going to be moving down to Florida in a couple of months, our new home (and my garage) weren't done yet, we hadn't sold our house in Michigan yet, and "The Politician" is offered to me. I asked "The Wife" and she said that I had to buy it. She knew what a rare car it was. So I had two of them and a 1964 Belvedere that I was restoring that I had to ship to Florida.
So Tree, if your ever down on the Treasure Coast, let me know, I'll get Ted's car out of "The Wife's" garage and let you oogle it.
