Gateway Classic Cars of Orlando is proud to present this 1968 Dodge
Dart Pro Street "Indy Cylinder Head built the Dart". It has a Hemi
-- 605 cubic inches monster engine! That was reflected on the dyno
sheets that Indy supplied with the engine: 836.8 horsepower and 752
lb.-ft of torque. The Hemi was teamed with an equally stout J.W.
Performance Transmission-built 727 with a 4,200-stall converter and
a narrowed rear end equipped with Strange axles and a Detroit
Locker that are up to the task of taming all that Hemi power.
Outside, what was left of the original Dart's body structure was
plenty enough to build from, once the floors and quarters were
replaced with new steel. AAR Fiberglass' bolt-on hood, bumper,
front fender, doors, and decklid reproductions -- plus a '68 Super
Stock-style hood scoop -- were fitted and installed before the
two-stage Sikkens Viper Red enamel went on. Inside, it's a
combination of race-car safety hardware and high-end cruiser, with
leather covering the SCAT racing seats, dash and door panels, and
custom carpets on the floors. As for a sound system, the Hemi's
custom exhaust system is for that purpose. Engine: There's big,
there's huge�and then there's this Indy Cylinder Head-built Street
Legend Hemi. Displacing 605 inches, it features Indy's aluminum
41/2-inch bore block, with a forged Callies crankshaft and Eagle
H-beam rods, forged 10.75:1 compression Wiseco pistons, and a Comp
Cams solid-roller camshaft. A pair of Indy's 426-1RA heads, ported
Indy intake with a 1050-cfm Holley Dominator, MSD ignition, and a
custom-built exhaust system finalize the overgrown air pump.
Transmission: J.W. Performance Transmission-built 727 with a
reverse-manual valve body, 9-inch/4,200 stall convertor with a
trans brake, B&M shifter, and a Gear Vendors overdrive. Rear:
Narrowed 9-inch is filled with a 4.56-geared Detroit Locker
differential and Strange axles. Suspension: (Front) Art Morrison's
Super Strut, (Rear) X-link with Strange coil overs and ladder bars.
Brakes: Four-wheel discs with Wilwoods in front and Strange
Engineering rotors and calipers in the rear. Wheels/Tires: Welds
and Mickey Thompsons (Front) 15x4�-inch wheels on 26x7.50x15 M/T
Sportsman tires, (Rear) 15x14-inch Double Bead lock wheels on M/T's
32x17.50x15 ET Streets. Paint/Body: Original unibody had its floors
and trunk replaced before it was fitted to the round-tube frame.
AAR Fiberglass provided the hood, front fenders, trunk lid, and
bumpers, and Rick Perry (aided by Don Reese and Ron Sheed) got it
all ready for the Sikkens two-stage Viper Red enamel. Interior:
Fernando Torres custom-stitched the SCAT Sportsman race bucket
seats, door panels, and dash pad in tan leather with matching suede
inserts. Steering wheel is a repro Tuff one on a Flaming River
tilter, and tan/brown carpets cover the floors. This is one serious
bad boy, gas sucking, tire evaporating machine! She will really get
up and go! This car is truly one of a kind. This is the one you
want to own. Make it yours today before someone else does. This
