Outstanding & Rare Dart!!1968 Dodge Dart GTS with the original 340 4V "LA" High Performance, 4 speed transmission, and the Hurst shifter it came with from the factory. This is an actual 74,000 mile car. A highly optioned car that was ordered in with P.S. P.B. Full tinted glass, AM Radio, drip mouldings, body belt mouldings, wheel lip mouldings, horizontal stripe, LH outside Chrome remote mirror, fender mount turn signals, console and buckets, HB vinyl seats, GG1 monotone racing green with lighter green interior, 4 speed transmission,sure grip posi rear end, rear defogger, undercoat, light package, redline tires, front and rear bumper guards, and more. It also has the simulated wood wheel, tachometer and floor mats.Dealer installed FM converter with paperwork.It came with the dog dish hubcaps (shown in one of the trunk photos which came with this car) and they are in the trunk along with other documents.
The engine with 74,569 miles on it runs like new and has never been out of the car. Original transmission that is flawlessalong with the Hurst spaghetti type shifter that has no rattles and shifts as smooth as it did when new. Original manifolds, radiator, and carburetor.Interior has been well maintained as you can see. Original carpet etc.
I had the car in the body shop 3 years ago where it was stripped to bare metal and painted the original color when it came from the factory. This was done by a professional that I brought out of retirement with many years of experience in classic car restorations. He had done work for me before and I was more than pleased.He removed the doors, trunk lid, and engine bonnet and painted the inside of these partsfirst, and re-installed them. He also wrapped the engine, removed parts and pieces to be able to paint theinner fenders etc.He was very attentive to the accuracy of his gaps and got them precise before moving on.He then blocked this car all the way up to 2000 constantly looking for any imperfections before everapplying any paint. It is done in base coat clear coat with 4 coats of clear.You can sure tell when you look down the sides of this beauty.I get great comments and always asked many times at car shows who painted the car.
Car has 4 brand new redline tires. I have a new carb kit and numerous other brand new parts as spares.
All components are intact and operable on this fine example.The back stainless insert on the trunk lid needs the section blackened out which was something I told the painterI would do but I never got around to it.
All floors, trunk, and frame are free of rust or patches and are rock solid!!
This is 1 of 1281 that came from the factory with the 340 cu.in. 4 speed. I don't know how many are still out there but good cars are hard to find. I've had it for 5 years and it took me about thatlongto find a real decent factory car that I didn't have to do much to. There's something to be said about the 340's and that is they are rock solid engines and have that unique sound when you hear them coming down the road. Had one when I was a young man and still love the rumble today some 40 years later. How many are left in this condition with original owners information, build sheet,fender tag and documentation.
No disappointments, just a fine rare car.
