So just how good was the A-Body back in its day?

A buddy of mine always likes to tell Me about how He would duck down so no one would see him riding to school in the family Dart. And honestly that's about how I felt about them up until the time I got My Dodge Demon. Before that it was all B and E body's for Me. But once I drove that A body and discovered how sturdy and responsive it felt compared to the barges I had been piloting before I was hooked. We have to remember sometimes that 'cept for the barracuda's and 340 Darts most of the A-body's built were targeted at the economically inclined consumer. They may have been considered the prious crowd back in the day.


Very true. I get a lot of people asking (even old timers) why I put them scoops on a Dart. When I tell them it came that way they say. I always thought of the Dart as a economy car. Now most of them say they think they were/are good cars that run forever but some just don't think or remember them being performance oriented.
