Vehicle Description
The 1968 Dodge Dart GT is a terrific muscular-looking compact, and
so it's the perfect place to invest thousands $$$$ into making it a
serious street machine. But more than just pure power, they also
took their time to make this coupe a looker.
The Darts really had a terrific body. There are crisp lines with
blocky styling, and the fenders extend an extra few inches front
and rear. The result is a coupe that looks larger and more imposing
than the rest in its class. And highlighting these lines is an
awesome custom paint package. Both shades of green and blue could
be described as electric. But what's really impressive is a custom
tribal graphic that's used as the dividing line for the two-tone.
It's true artwork, and so it's great to have such straight panels
for a canvas. Mirror-like chrome bumpers, complete trim, and an
awesome-looking grille give you the classic brightwork package. But
what we bet impresses you the most is the steel hood with the scoop
so big it looks like it wants to inhale all the lesser cars on the
road. And the American Racing Hopster-style wheels unite the full
package with a big shine and an aggressive 17/18-inch front/rear
stance.
The interior was built for speed, but there was also plenty of
comfort thrown into the mix, too. It starts with a fresher setup
from Legendary interiors. There's a nice clean style and even an
upgraded AM/FM/CD/XM stereo w/USB for the best in driving music.
Front bucket seats and a center console are a proper driver's
setup. And the classic Mopar steering wheel gives you a clear view
of the full AutoMeter gauge package with large speedo and tach.
The engine bay makes sure the motor takes center stage. Those
smooth painted fender walls funnel your attention to the clean and
mean V8 in the middle. This starts with Mopar's hardy 360
cubic-inch motor that has been bored .30 over. It's been given
go-fast goodies like an Edelbrock 750 CFM four-barrel carburetor,
Edelbrock air gap intake, and an electronic ignition with HP coil.
It also has the right supporting pieces, like a Champion aluminum
radiator and the battery moved to the trunk for better weight
distribution. The Hooker long tube headers add power while also
contributing to the rumble from the Flowmaster Super 44s on the
dual exhaust. Power is sent to stout TCI-built Torqueflite A727
three-speed automatic with 2800 stall. Just to make sure you get
off the line and stay hooked to the pavement, there's a Mancini
Racing rear end with Yukon axles. And the mini-tubbed rear means
extra-wide rear rubber to help bring the power to the pavement.
Frame connectors, a Firm Feel power steering box, and front disc
brakes are all there to give this coupe a strong feeling on the
road.
Complete with restoration photos, this Dart is an impressive custom
with all the right standout features. Don't miss your chance at
