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.

CO is a chemical asphyxiant that binds to the hemoglobin in your blood and will not allow oxygen uptake. As mentioned some symptoms of include headache, dizziness, fatigue, confusion etc. It has a 3-4 hour half-life in your blood stream, so symptoms may persist for quite some time after...

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...

Erratic idle, weak power under load, oil smoke under load in gear but not at idle. The PO installed a carb kit and replaces the fuel tank and pump to get it running. Been off the highway for 20 years. I have been reading up on the Feather Duster/Dart Lite on SlantSix.org. I do not have a...

I recently picked up an original 1976 Dart Lite with a 225 and 4-speed OD. It has been off the road for 20 years. The original carb and distributor are still on it, but it runs poorly and likely has some missing components of the "lean burn" system. I can source an original non-Lite...

While taking out the interior of my 76 Dart Sport, I found a complete build sheet that does not belong to my car. I have heard about this and the same occurred with my 71 Roadrunner. The VIN number is VL29G6G185571. My car was built in March 1976 in St. Louis so this car probably has...

I'm looking for the rear inner plastic splash shields for a 1976 Dart Sport, my passenger side one is missing, but I will buy the pair if they are in good shape. There is also a second plastic shield on the drivers side over the parking brake cable that attaches over the fender splash shield...

Thanks Rocky, the interior of the Decorator Package looks like this. Dodge called it Boca Raton cloth.

This is from a similar Dart Sport and they are more intact. I think the Silver Duster had similar stripes--if not identical

I previously checked their site and they only have the stripes that go up and over (Code K6). I was hoping that by outside chance someone had a set of the K3 stripes made and has the AutoCAD or similar graphics file that I could be used to make another set.

Does anyone know of a source for the Decorator Package stripes--Option Code K3 on bottom of the attached page? Can stripes like this be custom made from photos and measurements of originals still on the car? Does anyone have the original part numbers? Thanks.

All Lite aluminum parts are there, interior is roached, will need a lot of cosmetics, poor 20 year old bondo repair behind rear wheels, surface rust in floor pans and maybe some small holes, mostly original paint, a few dents, runs and drives. Interesting car, but a bit of a project and...

As mentioned, I too think it would be interesting to see how economical you could make one go on the highway with modern mods as mentioned. I thought that Chrysler used some tweaks to the EGR system to extend total timing along with a Feather-Lite model only one barrel carb. The old EPA...

I came across a 1976 Dart Lite, 225,4-speed OD, TX3 black with the dark red interior. It also has the Dart Decorator Package A62 (Boca Raton upholstery F1E7). Any idea how many Dart Lites were manufactured--I have read in other posts that 1500 were produced. I think that I have to rescue it.

I am looking for an original rust-free low-mileage 1976 Plymouth Feather Duster or Dart Lite. We will give it a good home.
