PHOTOGRAPHER : Self REMARKS AND/OR STORY : I had purchased a new 340 Dart at the age of 20 (first new car). I drove that car for about 10 years and it was always fun, even though I got MANY tickets. With the price of gas, a body in need of repair, my wife sold it for $50. In all fairness, I was going to use it in a local demolition derby, which scared her. I saw this car at a gas station while deer hunting in the UP. After a month of trying to contact the owner, a meeting was set-up. A short drive a little haggling and the car was mine. Mechanically, I have replaced or rebuilt everything. The car looks pretty good, except the paint is starting to show some wear. It�s just as much fun to drive as my other one, except I try to avoid getting tickets. |
