Vehicle Story

A build spanning several generations. My grandpa Harold ordered this 1964 Dodge Dart GT Golden Anniversary edition new for my grandma Alma in 1964 with a manual 4 speed transmission and a 273 ci. V8; it has remained in the family since (and has even been submerged in Flathead Lake, NW Montana at one point…). Fast forward 61 years to present day 2025, my dad Cris and I are retooling the family Dart into a road racer with license plates to compete in as many events together as possible with my late grandma and grandpa with us in spirit.
