Dart Sport "Hang Ten"

this is from mopar muscle


The Hang 10 Dart Sport made its debut at the 1973 Chicago Auto Show, where it was displayed on a platform with surfboards and other beach paraphernalia. With the car in its proposed element, the Eggshell White A-Body was dressed in special decals and sewn with a one-of-a-kind interior that attracted show-goers. With the rear seat folded down, the little A-Body could fit a few short boards and still have room for a cooler and maybe a folding chair or two. Ironically, the term Hang Ten comes from longboarding, and this "space" in the Hang 10 couldn't fit a longboard

The package was a hit, and the following year it went into production for mid-1974, slated as a dealer-installed package. When car shoppers selected the "A63" Hang 10 option, they received orange shag carpeting, multi-colored woven seats, and door panels. The dash and standard console had some red paint, and the exterior received special Hang 10 decals, including a red and blue side stripe featuring a surfer on the rear quarter. All Hang 10s have the fold-down rear seat option and automatic transmissions. From there, buyers could pretty much do whatever they wanted with the options. The Slant-Six was the base engine, but the 318 and 360 with dual exhaust were available. A sunroof, "Tuff" steering wheel, vinyl top, Rallye wheels, and air conditioning could also be added, in addition to many other options. This almost ensures that there isn't a single Hang 10 like one another out there. Sadly, there is no documentation on how many were produced, adding to the allure of its rarity. However, it was discovered that just over 1,000 original decal package sets were ordered by dealers back in the day.
