The spoiled under-30 crowd!!!

Only 90????
I had mine to about 125 down a country road. According to the speedo.
Although, the speedo buried at 120, but I was easily past that.
That was smart.
A two lane country road, with a huge ditch on one side, and woods on the other (think "deer"), and the "floater" steering in a car with torsion bar suspension, and all around drum brakes...
Chit you just don't do over 30...

aw come on man. Those Darts handled like they were on rails. Then, you took them out of park and it got weird. :) I had mine set up fpr street racing so the front shocks were drilled and drained, the ladder bars were shoved right up tight against the springs and all the repound clips on the rear half of the leaf springs were removed. When you launched it, the whole rear of the car rose about four inches as the front of the ladder bars tried to go thru the springs and the back half of the leafs spread apart jamming the rear end down. The front shot up real fast too because the shocks were basically just suspension travel limiters. If you had to jump on the brakes ( yes, 4 corner drums) it was a wild ride.

I always liked the built in beer can coolers they called "vent boxes" in my dart. Stick a beer or two in the box, shut the door, drive a few miles on a cold day and presto, frosty beer.

They can't remember the blizzard of 78 either, but they were probably concieved during it. Thats what winter is for. Summer is for getting to drunk to do anything with it.
