From the very prestigious Wellborn collection! This is one of the
cleanest Darts I've ever seen. It features very desirable bucket
seats with a center console plus the original #'s matching 340
engine purrs like a kitten. The fit and finishes throughout are as
good as new or better. If you are searching for the best, look no
further!
EXTERIOR: This one's exceptional folks! The fit and finish are
better than when it rolled off the assembly line. The paint is like
smooth glass. The gaps are square and flush and they're very
precise. It even has the Pentastar emblem on the fender like it's
supposed to. 100% arrow straight and the doors close easily like a
new car. The Light Green Poly has some metal flake that is laid out
evenly. The clear coat finish is wet looking. I love the bulges on
the hood and the 340 4 Barrel call outs that came with the GTS. It
also has the optional fender mounted turn signals. The trim and
front grille both look to be very nice original. The windshield and
rear window are crystal clear. It has the deluxe mirrors on both
sides. The door handles look new, and the vinyl top is pristine.
Also has the optional bumblebee stripe that's a vinyl decal. The
bumpers were rechromed and the tail panel looks to be very good
original. It has the poverty hubcaps with steel rims. New redline
tires are actually BFGoodrich with custom red lines put on.
INTERIOR: The top of the door metal is all nicely painted. The door
panels and armrests were all replaced. I really like the GT Sport
emblem on the door panels too. It has a new dash pad and the entire
instrument panel is very clean. The lenses, gauges, knobs, heater
controls are all fantastic. Original style thumbwheel radio is in
place. All the lights work. A center console with shifter and
bucket seats are an oddity in these Darts, most were bench with a
column shifter. The seats have been rebuilt and the upholstery is
tight like a drum with a nice spring cushion too. Upholstered
headrests look great. The rear seat was also redone and has a set
of original seatbelts. The rear shelf has a fairly rare rear
defroster blower. The headliner is replaced with no wrinkles and
the carpet looks great. The visors and mirror look like new. Also
has an authentic style steering wheel.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Every component was restored. It has 2 very
desirable features: power steering and brakes! At the heart of it
is the VIN # matching 340 engine rated at 275 horsepower which is
quite potent for such a little car. All very stock looking with the
manifolds and valve covers. It's an upgraded carburetor with an
electric choke that is topped off with a crinkle finish air cleaner
and the pie tin on top. It has the correct hoses, and the plug
wires are dated and run properly. The horns are hooked up and it
has the right radiator cap, fan shroud, and hose clamps. The Mopar
battery topper gives an authentic look. Three speed wiper motor is
restored, squirters are hooked up. The engine bay is painted as
nice as the exterior. Assembly line paint dabs were even
duplicated. The original fender tag is still in place. Under the
hood is complete with insulation.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is a completely restored trunk compartment
like it just rolled off the assembly line. Underneath the trunk lid
is painted real nicely to match the exterior. This car has the
optional light package so it's a working trunk lamp. The deluxe
hubcaps stored in the trunk will go with the car. Also comes with a
spare tire, jack assembly and rubber mat.
UNDERSIDE: Underneath this car is really clean and the floors are
spotless metal. It is a factory undercoat car that was cleaned and
dusted with black paint to make it look fresh again. The entire
front-end steering and suspension was rebuilt and detailed. looks
fresh. The rear springs and bushings look fresh, it has upgraded
air shocks. The brake system was all checked out and the emergency
brake is hooked up. Looking up at the VIN #'s matching motor, it's
clean with a fresh starter. The correct 727 Torqueflite automatic
trans is shifting great. In back is an 8 � rear end with 3.23
gears.
SERVICE: Our shop manager thoroughly inspected this car, and we
tightened the trans pan, installed a trim piece, and serviced the
brakes. It was very dialed in when we purchased it!
This car is from one of the most prestigious Mopar collections in
the world, the Wellborn Collection. We sell a lot of Darts, the
condition of this one is one of the best and the option list is
desirable. Buckets, console, power steering and brakes are not
commonly found on the Dart. Act fast!! There will be other Darts,
but they won't be this one!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
