Vehicle Description
Originally, the Dodge Dart was thought of as an economy car for the
customers who were on a budget. Dodge made several performance
versions of the Dart and in the late sixties, Dodge engineers
beefed up the build by offering high performance big-block engines
and the cars were built to compete with the other manufacturers
muscle cars. 1969 was the best year for performance as buyers could
get a Dart with a Slant Six engine or all the way up to the 440 HP
big-block. Styling changes for 1969 were subtle changes from the
prior year model. The grille was slightly different as well as the
trim, a bumblebee stripe was now on the rear, and simulated intake
ports were in the hood along with parking lights. The GTS model was
produced from 1967-1969. It was the hottest Dart version of the
B-body cars that year. This is a superb 1969 Dart GTS 2-door
hardtop. It is very rare as Dodge manufactured 5,902 Dart GTS
models for the 1969 year. Of that number, 1,272 were two-door
hardtops with the 383 CID engine. Only 784 four-speeds were
produced and 784 automatics. This car is in the Dart GTS registry.
