PHOTOGRAPHER : Self REMARKS AND/OR STORY : I had purchased a new 340 Dart at the age of 20 (first new car). I drove that car for about 10 years and it was always fun, even though I got MANY tickets. With the price of gas, a body in need of repair, my wife sold it for $50. In all fairness, I was going to use it in a local demolition derby, which scared her. I saw this car at a gas station while deer hunting in the UP. After a month of trying to contact the owner, a meeting was set-up. A short drive a little haggling and the car was mine. Mechanically, I have replaced or rebuilt everything. The car looks pretty good, except the paint is starting to show some wear. It’s just as much fun to drive as my other one, except I try to avoid getting tickets.
