Vehicle Description
1967 Dodge Dart GT Convertible
"Still believe that buying a compact car means giving up things?
Like stretch out room? Quiet, riding comfort? Or thoughtful luxury
touches? Not with '67 Dart. Here's our plan of attack: For 1967,
Dart is an all new car. A car with man sized room in the back as
well as the front. Dart has more comfort and pure luxury. More
"posh" than anything else in its class. In fact, there is no other
compact like Dart.". Thx to the 1967 Dodge Dart sales brochure.
For consignment, the idea of a compact car in the '60's and a
facelift year for the model, a 1967 Dodge Dart GT. The GT was the
top of the model line and included a list of standard options
including the choice of 18 acrylic enamel exterior colors and a
variety of foam compositions in the seats. Our white soft topped
Dart presents very nicely and has arrived at the mall just in time
for some summertime fun!
Exterior
At the front of this beautifully painted white car, a body width
stainless grille centers two large parking lights between two
larger headlights, a pristine chrome bumper and a silver on black
trimmed "GT" emblem. Hood pins front the hood which also have mock
vented power bulges. Multi faceted body panels, which add an
unmistakable vintage flavor to the design, are detailed with
correct stainless wheel moldings. The front quarter panel fender
emblems combine with a belt line molding in white framed by chrome,
perfectly complementing traditional chrome door handles and a
stylish driver's mirror. The black canvas top is in great condition
and retains a glass window. 14-inch Magnum 500 wheels provide a
sporty look that differentiates it from base model Darts of the
era. One low area of bubbling along with some inclusions in the
paint are the notable flaws on the exterior.
Interior
In total beautiful black, the car's cockpit was correctly restored
all the way down to its paneled door frames. The front bucket and
rear bench seats are firm to the touch and feature correct black
covers that show no signs of tear or separation. At the bottom of
those seats, low pile black carpet is protected by stylish "Dart"
branded floor mats, both in great condition. Between the seats, a
factory correct console frames the factory shifter in bright chrome
trim. The car's pristine padded dash hangs an old school horizontal
speedometer beside a correct Dodge solid state AM radio. Under the
dash we find an AM/FM/CD radio upgrade. In front of the driver is a
leather wrapped three spoke steering wheel with a metal half horn
ring. At the sides of the seats, fresh door panels hang new chrome
hardware between straight stainless trim, Dart GT emblems and
blemish free armrests. The trunk is also spotless and is covered
with a period plaid mat and houses a steel wheeled spare tire.
Drivetrain
Under the bulged hood, a 225ci slant 6 cylinder engine resides,
rated at 145 horsepower and fed by a 1-barrel carburetor. The
engine bay is clean and enhanced by a polished valve cover. A
Torqueflite A904 3-speed automatic transmission takes the car
through its paces and drives power back to the 8.25 inch rear. Disc
brakes are provided in the front with drums in the rear.
Undercarriage
Generally clean underneath with no major concerns. The leaf spring
U-bolts are about the only thing that show prominent surface rust
which is pretty remarkable. The exhaust off the slant six splits
before it dives down, then two pipes travel into a pair of
Flowmaster mufflers then make a beeline out the back via muscular
square tailpipes. We note some residual oil wetting one of those
split pipes near the oil pan. A polished rear differential cover
adds some sparkle to the underside and to impresses those behind
you.
Drive-Ability
Maybe not the muscle car its appearance would have you believe, but
it is surprisingly spry for a 6 banger with a 1-barrel. A
comfortable car and good runner, we note that everything functions
as it should.
Who's down for some topless fun? Cruise night season is underway,
at least, here in the Northeast where four seasons prevail,and
there's nothing like heading out in your classic car with the fold
away roof. Open air enjoyment awaits in this handsome vintage Dart
GT. Dart on over to Classic Auto Mall and get a firsthand look!
