1967 DART GT.......BLACK.....V8

Wow westcoastmusclecars, someone did a great job on the body work and paint on my old Dart, she looks GREAT.

Being several owners downstream a lot of information has obviously not been passed along. Some is stuff anyone thinking of buying the car needs to know:

It is not a barn find, time capsule, nor rare American muscle car and did not spend its life in southern California. I bought the car while stationed at Mather Air Force Base in the late 1980s, I drove the car daily for years there and took it with me to Texas for a few years before it returned to California and I sold it.

It is an original 225 slant six car (GT was a trim package not a performance package, GT-Sport was the 340 & 383 cars). The car was pretty dinged up from a lot of hard use by a series of GIs, gold with a white interior.

I put in a junkyard 360 (un-rebuilt / low compression smog head) which has clearly been reworked or replaced.

The exhaust manifolds are factory iron from a later model 340 car. If you decide to put headers on the car don’t junk them, they are now worth big $s on the swap meet circuit.

I can see the narrow 8 ¾” axle is still there and the rear swaybar I installed. It is important to know is it is a customized axle. The housing is from a 1974 Duster, the center section is an early 3.23, and the axles are cut down from C-body axles and re-splined. I had three axles made, hopefully the spare is still with the car.

Front brakes are 10 7/8” single caliper disks from a 1970 Cornet, reverse mounted (caliper on front) which made the car actually able to stop. Rears were from some random B-body so be careful to match parts when servicing is required. Inspect the front lower control arms, we went through three different swaybar mounts before I was happy with the geometry and never imagined the car would still be on the road this long…I can’t really say what all that welding did to the condition of the steel, if the booger-welded up ones are still there you should seriously consider replacing them.

Between the axle and spindles the car was converted to the “large bolt pattern” which allowed for the use of the B-body “road wheels”, the seemingly unique beauty rings are from a 1980s Chevy mini-pickup.

Hopefully the same trans is in it, I located a small-block 727 which is obviously a significant upgrade from a 904.

The nice big radiator was built at a shop in Sacramento and the

The car originally had wheelwell trim, molding along the top body line and the rather rare center-floor-shifter console (vs. standard column shift) which all seem to have been lost.

I wish I now could afford to get her back, it was a very solid and quick car that desperately needed to body and interior work which has now been done!
