got the dart.....weeeee!!!...lol......i love it

 

I love darts. Then again... I'm kind of partial to the Dodge brand. :D

 

Big Norm, it is awesome!! You are right, it is in really pristine condition.......very nice

 

it must be really exciting to have something you can really fit into

 

Great to see that Classic Dart delivered as promised!

The MoPar's were my favorite, especially with that solid slant/six and push-button Torqueflite,
looks like a far better driver than the Ford.

 

4 hours to get to Palm Harbor? Or are you going to Orlando?

I used to live in the Bay area until about 2 1/2 years ago.

 

Big Norm, wow, beatuiful! very very nice! Looks like you got that from someone who kept it in the garage it's whole life...

 

You didn't just say that now did you???
Snowball coming your way!

 

wow nice!!! you guys have done some great work... I love older houses but not the patience to do the work... as it is, the house we have is a model home sample and there was still things i wanted to change. Poor hubby has a list 3 miles long and it just gets longer. He is handy to have around to do this stuff, if his wife would stop adding to the list!

 

eep, what did I tell ya!

Big Norm,

Nice ride! Looks good in a picture, but then Mini's can do that too...

What's your thoughts on work needed now that you have it on the driveway?

Summary An Austin Mini "Jolly" with 809 original miles. Research indicates that only 3 were ordered. Totally original including original seats, carpet and paint.

Details This Austin Mini "Jolly" defines rare. First, it is the ultimate body style. Only 3 were ordered. Second, except for routine maintenance, it is totally original. Finally, it has only 809 original miles. I have owned this 805cc/34hp Jolly for nearly 20 years. In that time, it has served as my "pit" car at vintage races, as my golf cart at numerous rounds of golf and as my estate car on a larger property. Years ago, Brian Jackson and I used this as our "cart" at numerous Barrett-Jackson auctions. I have personally driven this Jolly over 70 mph.

 

This made my wife an I howl with laughter..........

For the open minded, married folks on the thread (some swearing.. be warned)

 

That's great! The race lasted longer than some marriages...

 

That's beautiful! VERY VERY VERY picturesque and very sweet. I'd go for it, if I were hunting again!

Big Norm - sounds like the vibes are good again and you're all set for your new project! After I win the lottery, I'm going to collect a bunch of old cars and build a show garage for them!

 

Okmini,,, that video made me laugh,,, very funny,,,,well thought out!!!!

 

it has very minor surface issues around places where the chrome and body meet....very minor....interior is in pretty good shape, so not really worried about that.......just needs a good cleaning......need to check the brakes as well....really hard to stop (all drum brakes)........gonna get and a/c installed to at some point....to damn hot in florida for no a/c...lol

 

here is some fun

Love the Dart! Grab 'em while you can, before we're driving these ...

 

Take a look at my new thread if you think you can help me with some electrical questions.

I owned a 1973 Dodge Dart Swinger from 1982-1988. It looked a bit different than yours, Norm, but it was still a fun car.

 

No... I don't drive slow enough for it to take 4 hours to get there! We dropped the '08 off in Orlando and took the '05 to Jacksonville. It's about 4 hours to Jacksonville. And since cops were EVERYWHERE... I think it may have taken longer. We just got home. I decided not to go back to Palm Harbor after we got our '05 back and found much evidence that a mouse had spent the weekend in it. More later.

I've got to get ready for bed. Did no one have cheesecake? We could have stopped at the Cheesecake Factory if I'd known!

 

Norm, congrats on the dart! I'm really excited to see you get your car!

 

Goooood morniiiiiiinnnnng all!!
of you in warmer areas,,, rejoice in the fact that you aren't up here freezing with us!! I don't want to go out and work today,,, bbbrrr! And I guess it will be worse tomorrow. On a positive note- I am really impressed with Sloopy's heating pwers,,, wow what a little powerhouse!! The love affair continues.

Hey will I get to see some classic mini's if I attend a Philly mini event? You guys are giving me the fever------ free or not!
