1626 ORIGINALDART GT V8 CONVERITBLES PRODUCED IN 1967 Grand
Spaulding Dodge did not attempt to covert a small block car to a
440 until the 1968 model year, but if Mr. Norm had swapped a 440
into a 1967, this is what the car would look like. Similar to the
original50 GSS conversions in 1968, this car was converted to
legendaryMr. Norm - Grand Spaulding Dodge (GSS) standards with a
1968 Dodge RT date coded 440 Engine. Just like they did in 1968, in
order to fit the larger engine, the K member was modified to make
room for the oil pan, a modified engine mount was attached near the
oil pump, and the battery was relocated to the trunk.All of of the
cars in 1968 were built with the Torqueflite automatic
transmissionandthis car is no exception. Other performance upgrades
include the aluminum radiator, super stock leaf springs and
complete 440 exhaust. This Dart GT is one of those cars that
immediately turns heads as it rolls down the street. It has that
authentic, high-performance lope that is both smooth and menacingat
the same time. It starts so easily and will sit and idle forever,
but don't be mistaken, this Dart can produce copious amounts of raw
horsepower that makes anyenthusiast do a double take. Driving down
the road it is extremely reliable. It stays cool, travels straight,
shifts seamlessly, turns easily and stops swiftly. The paint is a
stunning Dodge dark blue metallic. Rather than the standard black
or red, the dark blue color conveys a classy yet mildly
intimidatingfeeling giving the impression there is much more to
this Dart than what meets the eye.The brightwork is largely
original and in fantastic condition. Set off by the redline tires
and dog dish hubcaps, this convertible is the ultimate sleeper. The
interior, including the dash, seats, convertible top and carpet are
all in excellent condition. All original gauges work including the
auxilary SunPro oil, temp and voltage along with the vintage
Stewart Warner column tach. The undercarriage, including the frame,
frame braces, floor pans and trunkare all in original, unmolested
condition. This is just a very rare, very cool example of American
ingenuity and American muscle. This Dartis incredibly easy to drive
and very reliable, yetbeneath it's refinedexterior is what truly
makes this car timeless, vintage Moparhorsepower!
