Like the Dart. I bought a 1965 Dart 2DrHt in about 1978 for $50. It had been sitting and wasn't running at the time. It had the slant 6 with 3speed on the column. I got it running, but the clutch was frozen to the flywheel. Put the rear axle up in the air on jack stands and put the car in gear to get the wheels rolling. Then pushed in the clutch and jammed hard on the brakes. A couple of times of doing this, the clutch released. The car had a straight pipe as the muffler was rotted away. I used to drive it around the neighborhood buzzing the engine and speed shifting that 3speed - sounded good with that straight pipe. A buddy painted the tan car a baby blue for free just to get some practice in on spray painting. Sold the running & shiny blue car for $150 - which back then was a good fast profit. Didn't grab any pictures of it.
