Here's a picture of my other old car and my young son. It's a '66 Dart GT. I know it isn't an Olds but I couldn't pass on such a different car in such good shape. Buckets, console, 273, no rust, everything works. I took it upon myself to repaint it this spring(DANG that's a lot of work) and is now a blue metalic with white top and tail stripe. Drove it to the Erie KS show but will be in Chanute this weekend with my '71.

Cool... for a MOPAR.

It's light weight, fun to drive, and a comfy ride. A real sleeper. More hp down the road.

Cool ride. Brings back memories. My mom bought a Dart GT in 66 right after I rolled her 65 Cutlass into a canal at about 100mph in the rain. Never knew about aquaplaning when I was 17 years old. Probably subconsciously why I now drive a 65 Cutlass.

The 340 was a good motor the 318 and 273 were not so good. Had a 65 cuda 3500 lbs 273 v8 four barrel ran like a two legged dog. Never timed it but was only able to get it up to 84 mph in the 1/4 mile. What ever happen to the measured miles on the highway hehe. Now that I am older but not wiser realize the differential was more to blame than the motor.

I haven't timed mine but it has a lot of zip and stepping up to 14" tires helps the ride and traction. Those little 13s could really smoke. Eventually have a worked 318 or 340 down the road.
