Saw this on eBay and picked it up...thought it was a neat old custom tuner ad for a Dart GTS. Not sure how common this ad is--I had never seen it before. Just wanted to share it with you all.

 
Its interesting that the ad is for a 68 GTS but the photo is a 67.The footnote at the bottom says the 68's were not available for photos yet.:eek:ops:
 
I'm building a portfolio for my 68 GTS bid block car so any ads or brochures that come up I'll have to start collecting. Good score.
 
I have tried looking for the various "custom" vehicle prizes available from various sweepstakes and have yet to find an actual winner.

Its not "custom" but the prize vehicle from Dodge's 1968 "Pick of the Pack" sweepstakes has shown up at several northern Virginia Mopar shows over the last 10 years. The winner of this sweepstakes would win their choice of a new 68 Charger RT, Coronet RT or Dart GTS. Further, they would be given the order sheet and order it in the color and with all the options they wanted.

The winner chose a new 68 Charger RT. The son of the original owner still has it and it has been restored beautifully. It is light green with green vinyl top, and green interior, and has the 440 and automatic. The Hemi was not chosen because the air conditioning couldn't be ordered with the Hemi. The owner remembers his dad checking off every single option on the order sheet.

Heres an article about the car:
