The transmission went on my 02 Jeep so I have been using my Superbird as my daily driver. I drove it all last week and now I am using my 69 383 Dart GTS. I am having a ball. I really didn't drive either one to much this year so this is fun. Tom

You need to break your Jeep more often.  ;)

What color is the Dart ? Lets see some pics

4spdwing

The Dart is B5 blue. You guys are fast. Here are a couple of pics.    I really need to drive them more. The only problem with the Jeep is it's going to be about $2500 to fix. Tom

You live in NJ ? I do , I sold a 69 GTS 383 Auto  in 1982 , it was light green with black int and black v-roof , still looking for it , I miss it . Have you vere seen it ? I think A postal worker bought it around 83 or so

I have had a few great offers on the Superbird. People think I am crazy for not selling.  I always wanted one since the early eighties. I bought the car in 1999 with some help from nascarxx29. Dave has always been a big help

No Larry, Sorry I don't know the car. I actually bought this car in 1984, sold it in 95 and bought it back in 99.

I remember the green car the rad support was pushed back a little.I also remember the 69 340 GTS convert that sat in Merchantville.Until someone I knew bought it.Tom hold on to the wingcar .There easy to sell and hard to affordably replace.Have you seen the destroyed one from E town NJ on ebay are what these wrecks are going for.Back when you got yours they were not six figures.We both got good deals on our wingcars  .Were not likely to see ever again.There was a club called DARTS I sent buildsheet and etc from a rare triple green on green stripe 69 340 GTS Dart I parted out that was very rusty think it was Joel Cooper that ran the club .He was asking me were the rest of that rare car was.I sent it to him in a envelope this is all I saved

I'm afraid I would be terrified to drive a wing car daily.  I can't imagine the people snapping their necks to get a glance of the wing car parked next to the VW jetta in the super market parking lot :scratchchin:

69_500

Not a bad couple of cars to fall back on when the daily driver takes a nose dive. Had to do the same thing a couple of weeks ago here. The transmission on our 98 Avenger took a crap and so for 3 days I drove the 500 in to work. The guys I work with thought I was nuts. Then finally got the Intrepid back from the parents, and am now using it to go to work. I did like driving  the 500 more though, but man the gas money wasn't easy on the wallet.

Sweet ride!

Always noticed that tires and gas seem to go ALOT faster on the charger then with the daily driver  :rofl:
