No, not straight 8, V-8. The engine Ford used from 1932-1953.
This: (not a pic of the car I posted earlier, but it looks about the same)
I have no random pics of this car for some reason BUT, one of my most favorite of all the cars I've owned to drive was a 1966 Dart (1992-1996). It was a base 2 dr sedan with exactly one option,,,,,,,,,,the 225 S6 instead of the base 170. It had 3 on the tree, no radio, manual steering and brakes, vinyl floor covering, dog dishes, etc, etc. Very little rust and only 31,000 miles. Someone scrapped it because the trans got jammed in 2 gears at once. Paid the salvage yard (and no, they were definatley NOT going to crush it) $300 and they said to dig through the manual trans building and grab a 3 speed off the shelf. Would have made the chalk mark guys happy, the one I took turned out to have a date code of 2-66 which was a month before the car was built, lol. Loved driving that thing. Only an S6 but being base model and very light (scale at the yard showed 2,750 lbs give or take a couple pounds) it was surprisingly quick. WHY, oh WHY did I ever sell that car????????? Kick, kick, kick. Yeah, yeah, off topic of random pics so sue me............

Here ya go, random pic. It's obviously not the Dart I owned but replace the wheel covers with dog dishes and it's a twin, right down to the color.

Here's one I do have random pics of. Owned it at the same time as the base Dart. It was a 1966 Dart GT, 273 4bbl, 4-speed, power steering, manual factory 4 piston disc brakes, buckets, console, "mag" wheel covers, factory Am/FM 2 speaker mono radio (dash and one deck speaker)......................Ended up selling it mid restoration for the same reason I sold the other one. Had the Dart's, the Aspen and an '81 D150. Needed a truck, selling the Aspen was NEVER considered but 2 vehicles had to go (bought a house and to keep all 4 at the time just wasn't feasible or financially possible). When I got it, it was 99% complete. All the trim, every part, even all 4 of those die case 10 lb each mag wheel covers. Worse, I've since discovered how rare the car is, especially optioned the way it is (relatively "loaded") Dammit.....
All I know of the history, it was bought new in Brooklyn NY of all places and ended up in Florida. Must've been early in life because there wasn't much rust at all, just crap loads of sand lol!. Still had an oil change sticker on the door from 1967 at 14,000 (I think it was) miles from a garage on Flatbush Street in the Bronx (yikes). What could have been..........................
Pics are the day we loaded it onto the new owners trailer. It went to a suburb of Milwaukee if I remember correctly. Yes, the weather was as crappy as it looks in the pics. Warning: These are digital pictures taken of film pictures so the quality might be a bit iffy.

Apologies for questioning your call Sir.
Call me ignorant but I've honestly never seen a flathead V8.
Once again.....I learn something new everyday here.

Damn!
Both of those cars are heavy faves of mine.
Those caps on the second one. I remember those well.
I think they were also on the Dart that Mannix drove on the tv show.

I thought so too (Mannix) but then also remember Cragar's. All the pics I found have the Cragar SS's on the Dart.

What the heck, might have posted them before but a few random pics of a few other random cars I owned in the past. Have absolutely no pics of some of them, only memories in my head. Pre digital age, way fewer photo's taken.

Yeah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,HAD. Quite a few that no pictures exist that I'm aware of. '73 Satellite Sebring Plus, '75 Daytona Charger, '71 Monaco, '73 Challenger Rallye, along with probably a couple I can't recall right now.
One other random pic of a past car, or at least part of it. 1965 Sport Fury 'vert, 383, factory 4 speed car.

...........and last but not least (stop applauding) my very first car. 1970 Barracuda Gran Coupe. One is shortly after I bought it looking a bit "distressed" in 1981 (the one with that young 17 year old guy and his mother beside it) and the other is a REALLY bad digital pic of a badly degraded film pic of the car a couple years later. Can't really see much in it though.
I know I posted it before but the last one is a proud young man with his recent Aspen Sunrise purchase in 1987 that evolved into the big block B5 car it is today.
Wow, was I ever really that young? Dang, time sure goes by fast doesn't it?

Here's a random pic of one of the two Stage 2 1970 Buick GSX's built. Owned by a friend of mine who also owns the NAPA store down in Mosinee WI (where the shop I work at is) and perfectly restored to as raced condition (probably way nicer than as raced.........) right down to the last detail. His brother (an awesome body man) did the body and paint, a local sign company did the perfect duplication of the lettering, etc. Through his connections in the Buick world he was able to locate all of the rarest of rare parts needed for the resto. He even tracked down things like the only remaining air cleaner assy for a Stage 2 and the Motor wheels. Both he and his brother are perfectionists and trust me, this car is perfect.
Behind it is his '70 Buick GS that he bought when he was 14 years old and it evolved into a strip only car over the years. He's the same age as I am (51) and how many of us out there still own our first car at that age? Not many.
Just a little ear porn of the car when it was at Reynold's Buick a few years ago.
