Rare one year only 1976 Dodge Dart Sport Lite sold as a 30+mpg highway mileage car and probably less than 1,000 were produced. The 1976 Dodge Dart Lite and its brand cousin 1976 Plymouth Feather Duster used aluminum to lighten the car by a couple of hundred pounds, the Lite only special aluminum...

Still for sale. All the Lite parts are there. I have not been able to find a decent 75 or 76 to put them on.

Are bucket seats from a 1975-76 Dart Sport the same as a 1974? I have set I may want to swap into a 1974 Dart Sport. I know the seat tracks on one side of the 75-76 models are different due to the floor hump for the catalytic converter. Thanks in advance.

Most of these were taken in April and May, all the original Lite parts are still on the car including the aluminum bumper supports, hood and trunk with aluminum bracing, the OD trans with aluminum case, aluminum intake manifold, carb, and distributor. IIRC the Lite hood and trunk springs are...

Resurrected from a back yard in NW Montana after a 20 year slumber, runs and drives and can be driven onto a trailer. New gas tank and fuel pump. Just restored the front grill. Too much rust for me, interior roached, and I found out the K member needs replacing. All Lite parts are present...

The parking brake pedal on my 1976 Dart Sport will not stay down when pressed. The pawl on the release lever will not drop on to the teeth on the pedal lever to hold it. I thought rust was keeping it from engaging so I removed the pedal assembly and it is soaking in Evaporust. Is there...

Thanks for the tip. O:)

What are the differences between the 75-76 and earlier door hinges? Did they make them heavier due to the door reinforcements? Can they be rebushed and does anyone sell parts to do that? Thanks in advance.

I would be referring to the under hood braces that go from the cowl to the fenders.

Did all 1976 Dart Sports come with fender braces? Another thread indicated that all 73-76 Darts and Dusters came with them standard. Does anyone have a pair for sale?

Thanks for the help, I still ended up using my heat gun to soften up the caulk seal around the lens and then I carefully worked to tabs off the bottom of the lens. :cheers:

I am attempting to figure out how to remove the front turn signal lenses from a 1975 Dart grill. They appear to be mounted with a some plastic tabs, but also some sort of caulk sealant. Has anyone removed these before without breaking the lens? The caulk still is soft and looks like the white...

Looking for a grill for my 1976 Dart Sport, have decent yellow turn lenses so a '75 grill will work. Please provide pics and asking price. Thanks.

Found this information in the 1976 service highlights manual that Chrysler supplied to mechanics on the Automatic Idle Speed diaphragm system used on the Dart Lite-Feather Duster. It seems like erratic idle was a problem from the beginning. The AIS diaphragm is missing from my Dart Lite...
