This one is for dave over at garageofawesome. Noticed they like the muscle cars
I have more than a few projects at the moment, and all are rare beasts. Sometimes thats not a good thing.
This one here is a 1967 Dodge Dart GTS. There were only 457 GTS darts made in 67. All came with the big block 383.
228 automatics and 229 4 speeds. This is one of the automatics. Original black on black with redline tires, am radio, buckets and center console tach. That was about it for options. Just a plain old black dart with a big block
The car is very straight and rust free. I expect it should bring a fair price once its all finished. In the bellett world 457 cars might not seem too rare
But in the US, this is the smallest dodge model made in 67, and only the GTS had the big block.There is even a debate as to who built the car first. Dodge or one of their dealers. Mr Norms' dodge dealership credits themselves with sticking the big block in and driving to dodge to prove it could be done. Dodge says "the barracuda that year had the 383 already, and its the same chassis as the dart, it would've happened anyways".
Hopefully once this one is back on the road I'll be able to part with it. Something tells me its going to be a VERY fun car.
might need to stock up on tires
