I miss the days when the Japanese were copying American designs and not vice versa...

You won't find that in your modern jelly beans and sh*tboxes. Can't we have some good mileage AND style?
I walk through the parking deck at work and I swear, the only different amongst the new jelly beans are maybe the tail light shape. They could all be clones.
Oh, wait. They are, really.

It sounds like there may not be too many PTs on the road in ten years though.

Pity that all of them are either regularly autocrossed or owned by obese single mothers with no concept of "cleaning the car".

Here is my "proof of membership":
62,000 original miles on my 1975 Dart Swinger.

Great car, too. I love the "GT" emblem. Definitely one of the leading contenders for Jalopnik Diecast.

This must be one sh*tty car then, but really that bad?

Just needs dogdishes and the half-vinyl roof to be perfect.. the '66 Dart is one of my favorite A-bodies.
I used to drive my '70 Dart Custom around Portland and feel like king shit- until I met the kid down the block with the '66 GT.. I was Sherwood Green with envy.

This is why we love you man

Anyone here drive one of these and what was the experience like?

They had Plen-T-O'Play power steering, Dynamic Marshmallow power brakes, ample body roll, and the slant-6 will give you a top speed of 120 in just under 20 miles.. but, they (and the 727 and 904 trannies) will take all manner of abuse for decades at a time, which should be the goal of automotive engineering, as I see it.
(Note: I've never driven a Falcon or Nova, but I'd guess the driving experience would be much the same. It was the '60s after all)

Hey thanks for the info. Great stuff.
I have a real appreciation for these older cars that might not have been best in class but are seriously built to just keep going and going and going.
Durability has a certain appeal that is hard to quantify unless you're an owner. I'm that way with old Volvos.

Yeah, I'm another Mopar/Volvo guy- the 2.1 /2.3 4-bangers (and the trannies) are also bulletproof.. I think of the 240 as a Swedish Dart.
I'm sure the other 4s in that engine family are the same (Irv Gordon is working on 3 million miles with his '66 1800S, after all), but the 240 is my only firsthand experience. "Coincidentally" (I doubt it), those are slant-fours.

Am I weird for finding this car wayyyy cooler than any Corvette or Camaro?
