Silly question: I'm assuming your car has the non-remote mirror? If so one of the first I have come across! It is a rare duck indeed!
1967 Dart body packages broken down.

Yes, it is the Standard manual adjust mirror. If there is a code on the fender tag, It was an ordered, extra cost option.
I may have to file to get a card from the Chrysler historical for Dart, I'm intrigued between the data that is printed and what actually rolled down the assembly line.

Technically the 383 cars were GTS package even though the VIN was the same (first four characters). I have also seen a 270 with the wide rocker molding. It also the GT lipped wheel opening molding. 383 was not available in a GT badged Dart.
I'm assuming you meant "270" badged Dart with a 383 as the GTS still had GT on the grill & trunk & door panels.
There was not such thing as a "270" badged Dart with a 383.
@Jim Lusk is correct, "Technically the 383 cars were GTS package even though the VIN was the same (first four characters)."
The 383 became available in February of 1967 in the GT Only and was badged as the GTS. And, Yes the GT badging remained on the Grill, Trunk Panel and Doors.
Correct. I was asking for a clarification since the statement "383 was not available in a GT badged Dart." is not correct, by definition all 1967 383 Dart were LP23 or LP27.
Dart GT's with GTS fender badging. I'm assuming the poster simply transposed 270/GT thinking one thing and typing another. I find myself doing the same thing time to time.
gdonovan,
I found the Dart Standard Equipment "mirror" information on Page 61 of the 1967 Dodge Data Book.
Here is Page 54 for the Dart 270.
It shows the "remote" scratched out and replaced with "standard" by the dealer.
There is another glaring (to me) error on this page in the "New Side" paragraph.
""Dart 270" is placed on the rear fender". This was Never the case as far as I am aware..

They also had an economy Dart model below the 270. I am guessing they were available in 2 door post or 4 door sedan only. In 68 they had them listed this way as shown below. The LL's were just Darts, The LH's were the 270's and the LP's were the GT's. The same for 66 so I imagine 67 would be the same. L, M, amd H designations were used throughout those years.

Yes, it was just called the "Dart"..
1) The Dodge Data Book scan on the Hamtramck shows remote mirror as standard on all models (see attached). I'm going to ASSUME then that this was changed at some point from standard to optional item.
Edit: The scan on the website also shows the standard equipment page "manual outside mirror" so the book even contradicts itself.
Would be great to see a dealer notice of this but odds of that are pretty slim at this point in the program.
2) Agreed never the case in my experience, though I think some of the prior years did have something and no doubt it was dropped to save a buck.

I edited my post after finding more information.
"Would be great to see a dealer notice of this but odds of that are pretty slim."
I agree 100%...
We all know that they did some strange things back then...
And Again, I do not mean to find any fault here. Just trying to keep the information as correct as "we" can.

Agreed, 100%! I'm not trying to denigrate anyone's pride and joy. Just chasing down an odd notation about the special trim package and how Dodge made some of the vehicles back in the day.
And in the process come across some very cool vehicles such as your own. It is the first 274-4 270 I can recall seeing and having a manual trans even cooler. The original owner as well? Wild!
I have edited the post with the scans from the Data Book, it even contradicts itself showing standard on a few pages and "manual outside mirror" on another page.

One of 218 built with the HP 273 and a 4 speed according to the Galen book.
Yes Sir... Currently at 106,*** miles.... This production number included both the 4 door and 2 door hardtop 270's.
Actually rarer than the 383 cars....
Even rare are the Dart 270 273 2bbl 4 speed cars... 108 built....
I can not prove it, But, I believe most if not all were ordered and built for One buyer. That being Hertz Rent a Car.
I say that because one of my best friends (now deceased) bought his 1967 Dart 270 273 2bbl 4 Speed from the local Hertz in 1969. Then years later I bought it from him. This was the era of Hertz buying and renting sporty V8 4 speed cars of all brands....
And I part that car out before finding out the production numbers... Still have a few of those parts around.....
The donor vehicle back in the day for my Dart was a emerald green 1969 Dart GT with 318-2bbl 4-speed with black interior. It must have been a sharp vehicle when it was new, you can see the color via the floor hump that was brazed in my '67. Sadly it was rotted out, I think I purchased it for $100-$150 which was typical back then. The steering wheel may or may not have been from the same car, I suspect it was along with the steering column.
Front k-frame and suspension with 10" brakes, 3.23 8 3/4, floor hump, carpet, radiator, motor, transmission, pedals, black door panels and back seat were all transferred over.
