Gateway Classic Cars now has a very special and beautiful 1968
Dodge Dart GTS Convertible available in Houston! This one is
powered by a numbers matching 340 CID V8 engine that goes through a
factory TorqueFlite transmission. This engine has only covered less
than 500 miles since the car was restored in 2013. Exterior is
finished in a red with black top combination. Features include an
AM radio, automatic convertible top, hub caps, power brakes, power
steering, jack, seat belts, vinyl interior and radial tires. This
is part of the fourth generation of Dodge Dart vehicles produced
between 1967 and 1976. The Dart was substantially redesigned for
the 1967 model year. It received new styling, revised steering
systems, wider front track and frame rail spacing. Redesigned
K-members were added to accept the larger engines that Dodge had in
mind for the car. In 1967 you would also notice the rear window
with inverse curves, creating a new and unique appearance at the
rear of a greenhouse, but designed to collect snow! The 170 CID I6
was dubbed simply "Dart", with the 270 and GT carrying on mostly
unchanged. In late 1967 the GTS came out in limited quantities due
to it's lateness, but the 1968 was arguably improved anyway, by
fitting the new high-output 340 CID V8! That is the car that you
are looking at here. The first of the 340 GTS cars. Aside from the
engine, changes for 1968 were relatively subtle. The park and turn
lights in the grille were moved slightly inboard and made round.
Side marker lights were added to the front fenders and rear quarter
panels, to comply with newly introduced Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 108. Shoulder harnesses (separate, this year and
until 1973, from the lap belts) and non-glare matte finish on the
windshield wiper arms were also part of the 1968 federally mandated
safety package. This is a hard to find vehicle and a perfect
addition to the garage. For more information on this 1968 Dodge
