canadian dart?

[buckshotbishop]

browsing craigslist and came across this half valiant half dart. Could it be a canadian dart?

did the canadian darts still have signet on the side like this does?

Yep! The Canadian Valiants were American Darts with different emblems.

then is this a dart or a valiant? you can just barely see the front end is a US 63 valiant the rest is US dart

 

[toolmanmike]

If it was produced for Canada it's a Valiant.

 

[toolmanmike]

It very well could be a Dart with a Valiant front clip. I have seen this before.

Ya in Canada they were called Valiant's as there was no Dodge dart in the early years in Canada.

or as they are nicked named Varts.

Like this?

 

[buckshotbishop]

is there any way to identify whether or not it is canadian or just a miss match?

Nooo.. That's a Valiant. They never badged Valiants as Darts, they only badged Darts as Valiants. And it started in '65 as far as I can tell. The one in the ad is just a typo.

this says 63 canadian valiants used US dart bodies with valiant front ends and the same gauge cluster as the US valiant

so i sent him an e mail and see if he responds

Does it have a Dart dash, or a Valiant dash? Cars made for the Canadian market in 63 and 64, had a Dart rear, with a Valiant front clip.
