Vehicle Description
The 1969 Dodge Dart GTS was already quite a speedy machine, but for
a select few, there was a street-eating option hiding in the option
sheet. Mopar fans go weak in the knees when seeing a M-code coupe
like this. That means the mightiest motor in the smallest package.
And this rare and special hardtop has even been given a quality
restoration so that people will admire it for more than just its
pure muscle.
This car is a mix of pure intimidation and style. It starts with a
nice restoration investment that shows off crisp bodywork and a
hard shine on the factory-correct Dark Green Metallic. There's a
nice feeling of quality everywhere you look, from the shining
chrome bumpers, to the turn signal indicators in the fender tops.
And the premium black vinyl roof shows off the pillarless hardtop
profile. We understand exactly they invested so nicely in this
Mopar. It's one of only 640 M-code cars, and is 1 of 51 remaining
in the Chrysler Registry. And those red GTS badges are earned on
this coupe. The Darts have a square-jaw muscular look that gets
furthered by the faux hood vents with 440 callouts, cop-style dog
dish hubcaps, and the rear sports stripe that boldly stands out
against the dark green.
The trunk stripe is a preview of the factory-correct
white/parchment vinyl interior. It's ultra-clean inside, and so
it's obvious that someone who really loved this car was in charge
of its maintenance. It's a crisp look, right down to the ribbed
pattern on the seats that's repeated on the door panels. This gives
off a premium feeling with nice options like the high-back bucket
seats, center console, and a rear defroster. They have kept the
feeling quite factory-like, right down to the AM radio that's still
on display. However, a couple of cleanly installed auxiliary
gauges, including a SunPro tach, are a nice indication you're going
to love what's in the engine bay.
When you lift the hood, the big period correct 440 cubic-inch V8
dominates your view. These M-code coupes were built just so Dodge
could compete in the NHRA Factory Super Stock class. So it's a real
racecar for the streets. The block is not original to the car,
however as a genuine M-code machine, this street-eating Magnum
motor properly belongs in the engine bay. Topped with a four-barrel
carburetor this motor may look nice, but it creates some seriously
mean power in the lightweight Dart. All these M-codes were mated to
the A727 Torqueflite because the transmission was stout enough to
handle the power, and it made sure no one forgot to shift these
monster motors.
This is a rare and powerful Mopar with an awesome award-worthy
look. You'll love everything from the shine of the paint to the
growl of the exhaust. So don't miss you chance at Mopar royalty,
call today! (The original #'s matching bare engine block will also
accompany the sale of this vehicle! Pictures are attached to this
listing.)
