When I sold the car, I sent the original engine (on a pallet) with it. I kept some parts off of it that my other D/Dart was missing.

When I sold the car, it had 4 wheel drum brakes. I put the duel master cylinder and the Wilwood proportioning valve on it because I was going to drive it on the street. I did not drill holes in the inner fender to mount the proportioning valve. I made a bracket and attachet it using the wire harness clip holes. It could be put back to stock without any problems.

I will say that the car is really solid and not a rust bucket. The guy that I sold it to has some really high dollar cars (WO's, RO's, Max Wedges and AFX'ers). I'm sure that he used a first class restoration shop.

I don't know what the reserve is but I'd venture to say --- over $50,000. I believe there were only 50 made and only 10 exist according to my records.

I started looking for a D/Dart back in the late 80's. This is the first and only D/Dart that I've ever seen go up for sale. I think those that have then sell them to friends or private collectors. As I said before, this car was advertised in Hemmings back in 1998. I've never seen another one for sale. And I really regret selling it but, I knew it would be restored right by the guy that I sold it to.

Maybe the guy should give me a commission......

Both of the D/Darts that I've had, had the original engine blocks in them. The casting number is 2806030-3 and cast on 2-28-66. Stamped on the pad on the front is what appears to be R-273- 4-26.
