Vehicle Description
1967 Dodge Dart GT
Muscle cars are essentially about math, plain and simple-a basic,
easily measured power-to-weight ratio. Put a bigger, more powerful
engine in a smaller, lighter car, properly calculate gearbox and
axle ratios, and you will almost always have a faster trip down the
strip. When the Dart design was updated for 1967, giving the model
more of that folded-square, big-car style then used throughout the
Chrysler Corp's lineup, it got a big-time boost in the form of the
383-cu.in. big block, then only previously found in larger
cars.
For consignment a do the math car with 340ci V8, Edelbrock 4-barrel
carb, snappy yellow paint and interesting 67 muscle car graphics. A
real deal car, all buttoned up and ready to turn the key and spin
the tires kinda car right here and now at Classic Auto Mall. Flex
your muscle (car!)
Exterior
They call me mellow yellow...that's right, but not mellow in this
case. This screaming yellow zonker, actually starts out upfront
with some nice chrome for the vertical ribbed grille, a single
headlight on either side, and a pristine bumper below. Then the
yellow painted panels take over, on the hood with dual side vents
seen on either side of a bump on the hood. We move rearward to the
windshield and other passenger glass, and this is surrounded by
very nice trimmings and brite work, drip moldings mirrors and door
handles. Even a trim spear at the belt line is looking just great
bumping up and down from the tops of the front and rear quarters,
to the near top of the door sills. For the rear a large surrounding
black stripe with a Mopar badge on either side wraps the rear
quarters, and the back of the trunk lid. Two square taillights hang
on either edge of the rear panel, and some more horizontal ribbing
races between these lights and is nicely chromed. Another chrome
bumper is below, and dual chrome tipped tailpipes peek out from
under the bumper. 14-inch Cragar SS chrome wheels are all around
and are wrapped by black wall radial rubber all around.
Interior
Inside the doors are covered with black horizontal ribbed door
panels and original handles and cranks. Also, inside we note
aftermarket large racing bolstered buckets in black vinyl, and
these are looking new. The original black vinyl horizontal ribbed
tuck and roll rear bench stretches from door panel to door panel
and is looking just fine. The original dash presents with
instruments like 1967, however some modifications have taken place
like a quad lineup of aftermarket gauges which hang from the dash,
some pin-striping, and a large tachometer that is attached to the
steering column. A digital radio now sits where the original sat,
and just above are 3 toggle switches. The original steering wheel
presents well with the" Fratzog" logo in the center. Black carpet
floods the floors, and a tight headliner in black hangs nicely
above all thing's black vinyl. A shout to the trunk which sports a
new fuel cell in fabricated aluminum, and it sits in a sea of black
carpet as well.
Drivetrain
More screaming and gleaming for the engine bay with more yellow
paint, a red block 340ci V8 with an Edelbrock intake and Holley 4
bbl carb atop, and a 4-speed A-904 automatic with overdrive on
back. Out way back is an 8.75-inch rear axle, and it has eyes on
it, not just yours!
Undercarriage
A frame off restoration provides a total rust-free environment for
the floor pans, fuel tank, and stainless steel Flowmaster cut out
exhaust system. Torsion bar suspension up front, and leaf springs
for the rear, all nicely painted yellow, and power disc brakes for
upfront, and power drums for the rear are noted.
Drive-Ability
She fires right up and is definitely not mellow yellow!! It's got
some game under that chromed blinged hood, and it can snap your
neck when you press the pedal to the metal. You'll get a little
tire smoke as well, and then she really takes off. This Mopar is no
jo-kar, as it handles great, and stops on a dime. We did find that
the speedometer is in-op and the odometer is in-op. Otherwise it's
all good for this top banana.
All in all, a great restoration, nice paint and no stone left
unturned. Great grabber seats, and the rear graphics are dripping
Mopar from 1967. The chrome Cragars are a plus, as is the sight of
the engine bay. A great example of a muscle car with the 340ci
V8.
