I am your neighbour. I don't hate you..lol Sounds awesome!

If I heard my neighbor fire up that car I would be drawn to it like a moth to the flame

The neighbors might hate you but it would be music to my ears but I'm a different kind of neighbor I guess

That car sounds so good, even the grumpy dude down the street enjoys hearing it.

Absolutely one of the best looking and sounding 68 Darts ever. You should be very proud.

I really appreciate the warning about the headphones, but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get them any louder.😁

I always find that when the neighbors hate you, you're doing it right.

Late 60's early 70's best years for cars & music.

Now THAT"S the Sound of Music!! I grew up around these cars back in the day spending weekends at Maple Grove and cruising the town after the races.. Love it!!

Not a Mopar guy but I can't help but love challengers & darts. You've done the Mopar camp proud! The whole package is spot on.

I love how, in the background, that milk crate falls off the shelf from the good vibes!

This needs a "If it's too loud, you're too old" bumper sticker. Sounds awesome, and looks even better.

"Sorry everyone" proceeds to rev it and go for a test drive. Can't say i haven't done this lol. Looking forward to seeing track videos

Hitting so hard it made a box fall from the attic in frame 3.03. Nice ride. Mopar all the way!!!!

Such a beautiful machine and so pristine! My father had a Dodge Dart back in the day and he used to race camaros. I will have to show him this at the age of 70 haha! He will still be watching like a 6 year old boy at a candy store.

So wicked. Great at-home garage build project. Outstanding job! Keep your neighbors happy by firing it up at 6 am everyday.

Life long Chevy guy but as time goes by I appreciate all of the old cars now. The old Mopar cars had some really good body styling and the Dart was one of my favs. I still have my first car that I got when I was 16. It's a 1970 Nova coupe that originally had inline 230 6 and a three speed. Saved my money up and my dad and I swapped in a 327 and Muncie 4 speed. I will probably do some kind of stroker in it even though the 327 has beem a really good motor, It just never had a lot of low end torque.

Brings tears of joy, hearing that sound...can remember my install of Headman headers on my 69 Roadrunner and the fire up...my mom was none to happy....what a thrill....your car sounds Awesome!

A nice clean build. Your car is a testament to your attention detail. I always love to help my "GREEN NEIGHBORS" learn to enjoy open headers. The kicker is ALWAYS a burnout in the driveway. Rick

When I was a High School kid in the late 70's, I'd drive the 1 1/2 hours from my house to Maple Grove raceway and race brackets on the weekends. If I was winning, the races would go till 10 or so at night. It gets pretty cold in October / November up in the mountains, so instead of taking the ramps out of my trunk and putting the exhaust back on the open headers, I'd drive home, down the Pennsylvania Turnpike with open headers, then get back to my house around midnight or later with the open headers...I was the youngest guy in the neighborhood, so I was always the topic of conversation... 🙂

I've been a Chevy guy all my life and have to say your car is absolute perfection, stunningly beautiful and sounds great! I restored an elderly womans Dart and just loved it. I treated it with the utmost respect because it was her late husbands car.

What a monster! Love the car, love the sound. Great job! Disturb the peace! 😎👍

Great to see young generation working on these great cars. Great build….and my favorite color of all time……great job!! Enjoy!! Oh, in my area, we all have homes on several acres…..new neighbors behind us (cant see because of forest)…..own Lamborgini’s……when they fire one up…..music to my ears…..adrenaline, hair raising, big smile…oh yeah……..

I don’t know about your neighbors but to me, that’s music to my ears.

That is one sharp ride. Looks and sounds amazing. Very quality build !!!

Fantastic! I’m happy for ya! I remember back in the day as a kid. If me and my friends heard open headers we’d be sitting at the foot of your driveway on our bicycles drooling. That’s something kinda rare nowadays unfortunately… I hope the scuff on the deck lid buffs out 😉👍

Dude, that is one BEAUTIFUL car!! And the way it sounds, OMG!!! Killer man! Very very nice build!

ya gotta love the sound of mopars. they wrote the book on muscle cars. i loved my roadrunner.

Glad she's back among the living, one of the cleanest Darts out there!

Awesome ride! I was the hot rodder on the block growing up in the 70's. Luckily we had some cool neighbors too. Many nights were filled with noisy cars, or burnouts going down the street. I still have an old big block Vette with side pipes to stir things up 👍 You've got my sub

Ok. I'll need the keys back!! You've had my car long enough!! 😄😄😄

I WISH i was your neighbor lol Don't know why, but i love listening to a cold motor startup, just how it try's to balance out is satisfying Great Dart sir!

Always liked the Dart. Nice clean lines, compact.. And with this crate motor, what a great package! 😄

Sounds great.. I had a 68 Dart GT with a built 340..Had 4:56 gears.. never got beat in that car.. Love your 68.. gorgeous..

*OH HOW SWEET IT IS...THE FIREBREATHING BEAST HAS BEEN AWAKENED!!!* *AND THE BEAST IS WELL BEHAVED, IDLING AT A REASONABLE GROWL, SO PERFECT!!*

You got the header collector extensions, you don't need an exhaust system! 🤣🔥

Man, gorgeous car, and just sounds so wicked with that big cam lope👍 If I started that baby up in my neighborhood the cops would be here within two minutes. lol

My nerves go through the roof just before starting a new build. Been at it 25+ years and still get nervous every time. Nice ride you have there! She sounds great. 👍

I wish I was your neighbor, that motor sound is music to my ears, I would not complain one bit, and I could talk to you about MOPARs and Hemis all day long. 👍

I grew up in the 70s and 80's with a stockcar driver as a next door neighbor growing up. This wasn't noise, it was music from my childhood. lol

The '67 thru '69 Darts are in my top 5 cars of all time. Imagine, the humble Dart which in '68 became one of the great 1/4 mile predators of all time. Big power, small bock, even better ! PS, great color.

First image of the slicks and that rumble of the engine... SO envious! Beautiful car. Thanks for sharing.

Man, brings back memories of riding around in my buddy’s Dart listening to Zappa an Captain Beefheart

Wow beautiful car reminds me of the old days I'm 63 so you know what I mean 🇺🇸🇺🇸😉👍🏽👍🏽

I think everyone is nervous at this point. I know I was after I installed my Brenspeed supercharger. 76 pages of instructions later after 6 days of work I was almost ready. Last couple of things were filling the new cooling system for the supercharger and loading the new tune into the ECU. It was a pretty complex job for a person doing it for the first time. More electrical work than I expected, right down to moving some wire locations on the EUC connector. There were 3 ECU connectors and the smallest one was something like 40 pins. De-pinning and moving some of those wires to new pin locations in one of the large connectors was way more than I had bargained for. There were other connectors that required de-pinning and moving wires around. There was new wiring for the new boost-a-pump and the coolant pump for the supercharger. New intake manifold, new throttle body, new fuel rails, new spark plugs, new belt system, an additional radiator, supercharger head-unit and new tune. So much to go wrong. Turning the key for the first time was a nail biter. So many things running through my head. It started on the first turn of the key. I let it run for 20 minutes, checking for leaks, over-heating, smoke out of the exhausts. Nothing. So, I put the front bumper back on plus all the other parts that connected to it and took it out for a test run on the freeway. Everything was going good, so I gave it half throttle and suddenly I could smell coolant and steam was piling out from under the hood. I started back home, keeping a close eye on the cylinder head temp gauge. When it got high enough to go into limp mode, I shut it down to cool. I nursed it back to the near-by gas station, where I typically bought my gas. Been there hundreds of times. The woman would not lend me a bucket to fill the rad!! Company policy. No lending out tools, not even the floor washing bucket. Not even if I gave her $60 to keep until I brought the bucket back. I had to continue on, low on coolant Thereafter, I shut it down before it went into limp mode. I was about 3 minutes from home normally. 45 minutes later it was back in the garage. There was coolant all over the engine. Impossible to see the source. So I filled it back up with coolant, so I could see where it was leaking from. No luck. It wasn’t leaking. WTF? I called a friend to look in the engine bay while I ran the throttle. Still no leak! Then I gave it a good dose of throttle a bam, coolant everywhere. A clip-on coolant connector was the culprit. Only this time it came right off, so we could see where the leak came from. After clipping it back on and refilling the coolant again, we ran another test. No leak. Of all the things I did, to install that supercharger, I must have not fully engaged that one clip. I must have pushed down only hard enough to get one side of the clip, clipped down. So there was no leak, except under lots of throttle. Just that one little thing and I could have cooked that engine. I tried not to think of all the other things I could have made a tiny, but fatal mistake on. Took me hours to wash all that smelly coolant out of the engine bay.

Sounds BADASS!! Great job on the rebuild, really enjoy the videos, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing some results at the track.

That sound is the sound of freedom.

My first car was a 68 Dart. Loved that car. Love yours too. It's awesome!

Sounds Great !! Reminds me of when we lived in town back in the 90s. Our neighbors referred to my 68 Charger as The Neighborhood Nuisance. We moved out into the sticks and now make all the noise we want to. LOL. Best of luck when you get to the track !!

I don't think I've seen a better looking car than this, everything about it is awesome

Beautiful car. I had a 68 GTS convertible with a 340 in the 70’s. Loved that car.

Beautiful looking and sounding ride! MOPAR guy here since 1966. Well done! Can't wait to watch the race videos

Very exciting, sounds awesome and new wheels look great.

That is one hell of a nice color and an awesome paint job. 👍

Love the sound of a great built motor!

Sounds awesome! Can't wait to see you run it.

Man that thing is sweet ....love the color and those rims and the Dana rearend

every time i build an engine and start it up for the first time. i feel 17 again hearing the first engine i built, u know smile and giggle to yourself..lol

If I were your neighbor yes I would be somewhat perturbed..... MAINLY if you didn't invite me over when you brought this gorgeous beast back to life. It's always good sharing the moment with buds.

Man, the sound of a naturally aspirated motor with a BEEFY cam can't be beat. Well, maybe a blower is up there too. I've always dug a metallic red paint job. Might be why that's the color of my truck!

Bringing back a lot of memories, always liked the boxie look of the Dart & Road Runner... Great job with your build !!!

That is a sound you will never get out of a Tesla!

That's the sound of Freedom!!! I love how it blows out the camera mic out and you're way out in the street. Awesome Mopar!!

Glad to see it moving under it's own power! Sounds great! Can't wait for your first track day video. On a side note. When I built my first race 340 for my 71 Demon back in 1973 I really pissed of my old next door neighbor when I fired it up and broke in the flat tappet cam. He was like a grandfather to me but that day he hated my guts! He was a big man and he ran over and told me to shut it off! I said I couldn't. He didn't know about cam break in? I thought he was going to pull me out through the window! He actually died that summer from a heart attack. I felt bad but it had to be done. He never spoke to me again. My mom wasn't too happy either.😂

In 1969 my neighbor had a new '69 Superbee that sounded exactly like this. He never drove it on the street, he only raced it.

Adjusting idle speed by ear - I love it. Beautiful color / paint. Sounds really nice.

A thing of beauty. Brings back fond memories of my 340 Dart... although you're making about 150 more HP than I did.

Sweeeet sounding! FYI The chicken in the back yard lost a few feathers scrambling out for safety at time marker 4:52.... I love my surround sound of that engine from your garage echo!

As a neighbor I would love and appreciate that sound. What I hate is the sound of the little 4 bangers running around with buzzed exhaust systems thinking they have a hotrod. You my friend have the real thing!

Dude if you were my neighbor your car could my wake up alarm! That sound NEVER GETS OLD!!! THANKS.

Beautiful car...love the color!!! Sounds outrageous!! I had a '69 GTS with the 383 cu. in. motor. I worked it a lot and it ran high 12's in the 1/4 mile.

Sounds great! Was wondering where you've been, but you've been busy. Re: fuel line: the braid section between the 2 bowl tubes is a tad short. Can tell by way the braid is distorting. Just like with elec wire, u don't want to pull it taut between 2 hard points...won't live with temp variations, vibration, etc.. Add 3/8" and let it bow a bit between bowls and you'll be golden. (Don't want to be watching a fire vid) :) Rock on!

Remember those days... Summit was where I got almost everything from and then it was 🇺🇸 made. But as I got older, my love is now for guitars , they are a lot less money, up keep and they don't pit or rust ( I'm from the N.E.). 😀

If I was your neighbor and heard that ,I would have RAN over to your house like we was both 9 years old and best of friends and I had just gotten a new toy.

Sounds nice and healthy great job,I would try two run the exhaust straight out the back looks so much better on a Dart.

My neighbor has a ‘69 Camaro with a 468 BBC… it’s music to my ears, especially when it’s uncapped!

*we look forward to you staging up the dragon...just exciting!!* 😉

There isn't anything wrong with ur fuel line I've had the same issue many times. It just takes a little bit of time for the seals and fittings to adjust and work like they should Car sounds good tho man

Good to know I'm not the only one driving around at damn near 16 volts! lol saw your voltmeter. My regulator took a crap so I've been driving around at 16 to 18V, nothing on fire yet, apart from my ignition system which is probably loving it! Do you have an internally regulated alternator? Sounds fockin' A btw :D

Wish I was in there smelling that exhaust. Rich AF!

I just had an eargasm !

My 1st car was a '68 Dart GTS in 1974. Absolutely loved that car. Kudos on your fantastic ride.

Hi, KZfaq Algorithm brought me here. First timer! Your car is a sick badass!!! Enjoy it!!!

classic single cam V8s with open headers are probably the best sounding cars on the street

Bet your neighbors are so happy

That sounds awesome the neighbor should give you a trophy or an award, or at least in applause and ask for a ride,!

Love your demeanor. Love the car and your care for it. Thanks for sharing it with us.

My Neighbor in the Early 70's had a 1963 Dart with the Button Box. He pushed it out of his Garage before Firing it up. He would run open on a weekend night. The car Rattled the Windows in many homes. Anywhere between 2-4 am He would come home on a tear, We heard him for a long distance. He cut the Motor about a mile away and he learned the point so He could coast all the way into the Garage.Thank Randy for that first joint. My Mom found the Roach.

Awesome looking car, open headers old school sounds great, and the color is perfect 👌

Just saved your video to my AWESOME folder. Super beautiful car.

That S.o.B. is Beautiful .I know you're proud!

Love it! Super clean and a great color! Excellent!

The sound of a bygone era. I would love to have you as my neighbor! Thanks for the memories.

Makes me miss my 69 Dart; badged as a GT, but it was a 318 auto with a bench seat lol. The sweetest thing about mine was the bullet-shaped turn signal indicators on the fenders. Mopar 4-ever!

She sounds great! I also noticed that she has a beautiful paintjob. You did a great build here, not to mention inspiring others to follow your example.

Nothing sounds like an old American V8. No matter who made it. This beast sounds awesome my friend.

If I saw that rig in my neighbors driveway, well, I may have a new friend. Some nice rides on the island, seems everyone in the lower mainland is selling their classics.

What a clean, well organized engine compartment.....

My 440 I came off headers with thrush straight through tin can packed fiberglass and turn downs - thunderous !!!- 😁 Looks and sounds great . Nice piece -💪🏻✊🏻👌👍
