As the title says, I need information on a 1967 Dart GT. If it had a 273 with either a two barrell or a four barrell, did it get the 904 trans? And what rear, the 7.25?

Were the steel rims painted the body color that year?

And this question may sound dumb, but what is the real difference between a 67 and 68 dart, besides the signal markers on the front fenders?

The only auto tranny was the 904, otherwise it could have been a three speed manual or four speed manual for the 2 barrel version. The four barrel version was either a 4 speed manual or the 904.

As for the differences, the front grille was different, the rear tailights, chrome along the side of the car, side marker lights, the dodge letters on the hood, etc
 
Unless it was special ordered, Drache is correct. You could order an 8-1/4" rear with or without limited slip, and a 727A automatic trans, in the otherwise tranquil 273-2V version.
 
Also, did this car come with heavy duty suspension? It doesn't have a sway bar; what would it take to convert it to one? Would I have to change the lower control arms?
 
The 273 engine would have a 904 behind it. The rear end could be a 7 1/4 or 8 3/4. Wheels would depend on hub caps or wheel covers. Wheel cover wheels were black. Hubcaps had body color in most cases. There were lots of differences between a '67 and a '68 Dart but the overall appearence is close. I think there is another thread on here about the same question so you may want to run a search. Other differences not mentioned above is: radio, dash pad, speedometer, K-member, idler arm, arm rests and bases, window cranks, windshield and back glass gaskets and trim. quarter glasses, etc.
The suspension could have come in standard or heavy duty versions. To install a factory sway bar on a non-sway bar car, you would need to change lower control arms or weld on the proper tab to attach the sway bar link. You can tell which torsion bars you have by getting the number off the end of the bar. The rear springs come in 4 to 6 leaf versions.
 
What is the difference between a 67 Dart hood and a 68 Dart hood?
Are there differences between GT and GTS hoods besides the emblems?

67 - 68 - 69 flat hoods basicly the same, might have different lettering

GT hood would be flat

GTS/Swinger hood had bulges, 68 had 4 oval ports, 69 had engine call out at the rear and fins for the front 3/4 of the trim

I have a 69 hood on my 67

As far as differences, there are a lot of little things different between the 3 model years, but the big stiff is mostly interchangable

Maybe if you stated what you want to change would be easier for us to answer your questions

273 2 barrel would probably have a 7.25 rear and they did come with sure grip if ordered, 273 HIPO would have a 8 3/4 rear

guessing the 340 was the 1st small block to get the 727

my 67 Dart GT convertible

side trim removed, 69 340 GTS hood, GTS stripe (painted on)
 
The 8 1/4" axle wasn't available in the A body line until 1973.
 
One big problem with the 67's is that the idler arm is "67 only." If you convert to later model disk brake front end, you could also change to a later K frame and use the later steering linkage
 
Does a 67 Dart GT have trim that runs beneath the doors as well as a grille on the trunk?

yes, 67 GT has a wide rocker molding and finish panel across the rear between the tail lights. Mine were not in good enough condition to install when it was painted so the holes were welded. I now have a finish panel ready to go on once I get the trim pieces above and below it cleaned up.

Both rocker molding and finish panel PLUS the 4 pieces of trim above and below it are hard to find in good condition and are EXPENSIVE when you find good ones
 
Except for the "Dodge" emblems, all the '67-9 Dart flat hoods are the same. As for 727's behind a small block, all the '62-7 318's had a 727 behind them as did the 273 vans.

W R O N G !
Not ALL 62-67 318s. Some did, but not all.
The 727 was part of the towing package along with the 8 3/4 axle.
The 67 Grille is the same across all models. The GT cars had a center section that was attached to the only available grille.
 
I don't think I'm wrong! What '62-7 model with a 318 came with a 904? The 727 was the standard, along with an 8 3/4 unless the car was a '66-7 B-body 6cyl. We're NOT talking A-bodies here you know.....they didn't get a 318 until '68.
 
Sorry. I'm not as familiar with pre 68 B body cars. You didnt specify B body in the original text. This IS FABO, right?:D
 
Yes, sorry, I was responding to WildCat's guess that the first small block to get a 727 was a 340 when 318's had them all along. Since pre '68 A-bodies didn't have a 318 option, I assumed everyone would realize I was talking about the other body styles that did. Bad assumption on my part....
 
How much value do you think a car loses if it doesn't have its fender tag in the engine compartment?

If the car is standard model, very little.

If the car is a heavily modified performance model, not much.

If the car is a performance model in restored condition, a survivor or near survivor, a missing fender tag could be the difference between a sale and a no sale.

So the loss of value really depends on who the car is being marketed to and the buyer.

Some buyers, simply won't buy a performance model with a key components like a fender tag missing. In a case like this the missing tag could represent a loss of 100% of the cars value.

The next guy that comes along may not care at all.
 
Can someone please post a picture of a restored or original 67 dart gt dash?

Do both hardtop and convertible 67 dart gt have the same front windshield moldings?
 
Hi Matty check out my pics as i have a 67 gt hard top !
 
Here are pics of a 67 gts. I believe a 4 speed gt would have a very similar interior and the exterior would be the same except for the GTS and 383 emblems on fender. Keep in mind the car has a 68 simulated wood grain wheel on it and is missing the GT emblems on the inside of the doors. Hope this helps.
