Hi Everyone
New to this forum, btw nice forum !
Proud owner of a 2013 Dodge Dart Rallye 2.0l Auto. Pitch Black.
and just bought a 1952 New Yorker 4dr to restore.
The 2013 has some add on`s.
Injen CAI, modified radiator shroud, muffler modification.
Dart door sills, trunk mat, mud guards.
New Yorker 1952, 331cid Fire Power, Torque Drive 4 speed, P/S, P/B
It`s last drive was 2 years ago, tranny started leaking and owner repaired a seal, but never re-installed the tranny ( health issues)
We , my GF and I purchased it to ride in it at our marriage next August. It is possible with tender loving care.
Car is in fair condition, I am a mechanic, and I work with a fellow whom is a Peerless collecter/restorer. Should be a great learning experience.
My knowledge of cars is mainly 1970+ but i have restored or helped on other projects. 1949 Fargo pickup. 1970 MGB GT
Will be needing some resources for original paint combinations (engine colors etc. )
Thanks for any info on this beauty
PS will post pictures soon !

That`s why i went for the 2.0l and i purchased in march the 2.4l wasnt available yet.
It`s not a 340, but it will keep up with the civics.
best 1/4 mile @ 17.117 sec @ 88.9 mph
The electric pedal and the fuel conservative mapping doesnt help.

So far..... thats 10 000 miles. And going.
Well its an Italian based design ( Alfa Romeo Julietta based, its just streched and stances wider, and a softer suspension.)
In all i am satisfied. Its confortable, rides great, handles awsome ( had a Subaru before and can take the same curves with 8-10 mph more )
Traction control is not overly intrusive, brakes are great.
Mine is Pitch Black and attracts quite a bunch of looks.
I dont really like the transmission shifting, theres not that much kick feel in the pants.
