Vehicle Description
It great to get a cool-cruising convertible for a nice price, but
the big scoop on the front tells you this 1966 Dodge Dart
Convertible is much more. There's a fuel-injected 440 Magnum V8 and
four-on-the-floor that make this droptop king of the blacktop.
Dodge's lightweight Dart proved the old adage that taking weight
out was just as effective as beefing up horsepower. But what if you
did both - upped the muscle in the lightest Mopar around? Well,
you'd have this incredible Dart. These have always been the blocky
looking bad boys, and now this one has an extra dose of dark flair
with red paint, custom pinstriping, and a huge scoop on the front
that looks like the heart of darkness. And there are also even
great race-ready details, like the hood pins, external battery shut
off, and Weld racing wheels.
The white top has a nice look against the red, but with the flip of
a switch, it reveals a muscle-car friendly black. The A-bodies
might have been Dodge's more compact offering of the time, but in
today's size that means ample room for family and friends. But
really, this Mopar is a ton of fun without them. You understand
that when you spot the auxiliary readouts, fire extinguisher, and
iconic Hurst pistol grip shifter.
The engine bay is stuffed with serious Mopar big block power. This
is a 440 cubic-inch roller V8. It has all the right go-fast goodies
like an Edelbrock hi-rise intake and an awesome set of custom
headers snaking their way out of the engine bay. There's fuel
injection with a Fireball HI-6 ignition to aid in both power and
delivery. This is a growling Dodge, and it's great to have full
control over the power and the thunderous soundtrack thanks to the
four-speed manual transmission. And this build has also been
upgraded for this added muscle. It includes subframe connectors for
strength, traction bars, and a limited slip rear end. There are
also wide Cooper tires in the rear and disc brakes up front.
The Darts were the ideal cars to make into a quarter-mile machine
back in the day, and this example represents that perfectly. So if
you want a convertible with attitude - all for a great price - call
today!
