Nice Dart JD383. I have had a soft spot for big block A-bodied Mopars for years. Especially green ones. Check out my 68 Valiant. http://ratrodsrule.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22110

Here's my 68 Plymouth Valiant 100. Started life as a slant 6, automatic. She now has a stroked 440 (508 cid), auto with 3800 stall, 4.10 suregrip (posi for you GM guys), frame tied and mini tubbed.
