70 dart R/T???

[71340swinger]

Hello everyone. I have a question for you. I know I am new here so my credibility is none. But I was driving threw a town in Montana on Friday and found something that I here was not made. So I was driving down a back road and I saw a yellow dart in a field with a few other cars. As i am a car fan I pull over and walk out to the cars. I look at this dart and it has a factory looking R/T emblem right next to the dodge script on the trunk. I thought it was cool someone put it there. Then i notice that it has the 150 MPH speedo. So I squeeze between the other car and this one. There is a R/T emblem on the 1/4 right next to the dodge emblem. I notice it is a 4spd car also. I work my way to the front and look at the fender tag. Now mind you. This car is rusty and has been sitting for a LONG time with no one caring about it. There is no engine/trans/rear end. There is a K-frame and front wheels, The body is semi rusty and has dents. The pass 1/4 is thrashed. But this is what I read.
From the top down.
F SERIES PROTOTYPE,END,H51,M43,N41,N42,RLL,V5X,EK2,B51,C16,C55,
F11,G31,EK2,HX69,TX9,801,M04116,E63,D21,LS23,N0R,100031

The engine compartment is orange and you can see orange under the fading yellow. There is rust coming threw the paint in the engine compartment. I am not sure if the car could be fixed. If I make it back there in the next little wile. I will get pics. But I was allways told that they never made a dart R/T. Did I find something pretty rare? I don't know what the numbers on the tag mean but my friend told me to write them down as I was standing next to it. Plus the Prototype cought my attention. Thanks, Rick

Im curious, Some pictures and more info would be great!

 

[ramcharger]

Me too. I want to see what comes of this. I like mysteries.

The "N" indicates a 383 engine, if that is a real car you have found something!!

Hi, Looked at ur tag and noticed it said F-Series. My guess is that you are looking at a Dodge Aspen. Just bought a 77 Dodge Aspen. Volare and Aspen are called F-Bodies. Dodge did put out an Aspen R/T. The VIN for Aspens starts with an N. Hope this helps.

Yes, F-body is correct for the Volare & Aspen, But the VIN #LS23 is for a 1970 Dart. Yes they did make an Aspen R/T, maybe 1976-1977? Very cool car but they are all rotted away up in MN.

 

[timfromme]

Oh ok. Didn't read the Vin Starting Sequence. Just saw the F-Series. Me bad. Just bought the 77 Aspen yesterday and was looking up stuff on it last night(and now). That would be cool to have a 70 R/T prototype dart!

Wandering into a field is a good way to get shot.

 

[thanson_mopar]

they factory has done some strange prototype stuff before that never made it out of the factory, just like the ball stud hemi

More info is needed to make an informed opinion.
Could you supply pictures of the vehicle?
Specifically of the fender tag and drivers door tag.
Hope you found a rare car!

A big block '70 would be something worth looking into. even more so since the last year for a big block A-body was '69. Isn't the 1 00031 the seq. number making it # 31? Keep us posted and pics would be realy cool.

 

['68-340-S]

Before anyone catches me I ment 30th being how they started with 01.

 

[damnimcooltom]

Usually when I start counting at one, 31 is still the 31st number I come to.

This sounds like a tall tale to me.

 

[two_70darts]

ok i call you all lets see those pictures :clock::happy10:

 

[68darrt]

If you don't mind saying, what part of Montana is it? I goto Missoula about once a week and would love to see it.

Once a week? I was born and grew up in Missoula. What are you doing there so often?
