Replying to: explorerx4 (Dec 15, 2008 5:49 pm) Sometimes I wonder if I should have just sunk some money back into my '68 Dart to get it roadworthy again, but after two of those things and over 112,000 miles combined, I'm sort of Darted out!

Replying to: andre1969 (Dec 15, 2008 5:53 pm) If you really want to relive the "Dart experience", I'm sure that you could find a fairly nice example for not too much money. In the current economic climate, I am already seeing people trying to unload their extra vehicles to free up some cash. With older cars, like your Dart, there is usually no lien holder, so the seller can drop the price to whatever level it takes to find a buyer. With newer cars, that is frequently not an option, because there is a balance due to the bank that must be paid before the deal can be done. "So long old friend, good-bye Dart..."

I looked at a 1964 Pontiac Bonneville convertible that was for sale locally. I think its original color was "dusty rose", sort of a red metallic. Unfortunately, it had been repainted lavender. The car had issues galore that I probably could have tolerated. But that color was just the icing on the cake. I just couldn't bring myself to do it!

Replying to: 210delray (Dec 16, 2008 10:48 am) Looks like Pontiac called this one "Iris Mist", while Chevy called it "Evening Orchid". To me, the color looks silver with a hint of purple. I like it. If that '64 Bonneville had looked like that, I wouldn't have minded it, but it was just too danged pink!
