Fully restored and ready to hit the show, this sinister Dart wraps a massaged Magnum V8 and tough A833 4-speed in striking black and red aesthetics that are guaranteed to turn heads. And at only $58K it's the perfect way for any enthusiast to grab a cool old car and enjoy every aspect of the hobby!

BODYWORK/TRIM

Much cleaner than when it originally rolled down Chrysler's storied assembly lines, this slick Dodge coupe has been transformed into a take-no-prisoners show stopper that consistently drops jaws. You won't be staying under the radar with the car's wet looking black paint, which highlights a very clean body that benefitted from a pair of fresh quarters. There are no signs of rust or rot, suggesting that mostly original metal was a straight, trouble-free canvas before its detailed metamorphosis began. Not surprisingly, panel gaps are good enough to make a traditional tail stripe line up exactly right. Trim is factory-spec all the way. And overall, this fully sorted Dart is a virtually flawless representation of timeless Detroit muscle.

ENGINE

Check this GTS' glossy engine bay and you'll find a correct Magnum V8 that hangs a familiar 2468130 casting number opposite an August 15th, 1967 casting date. Now, I just said *Ï}Magnum*Ï} because, instead of being your run-of-the-mill 383, this bored and stroked small block currently displaces a whopping 434 cubic inches! At the top of the Hemi Orange mill, a coated Edelbrock 4-barrel guides wind from a correct chrome air cleaner in to a factory-spec intake. At the sides of that intake, chrome valve covers cap ported and polished 906 heads that have been rebuilt with 1.81 and 2.14 Manley stainless valves. At the front of those heads, an electronic distributor sequences spark between a fresh harness and clean Chrysler Electronic Suppression cables. Those cables fire stout 10.5 to 1 compression thanks to an internally balanced, forged 4340 crank, Eagle H-beam connecting rods and custom-built Ross Racing pistons. Restored exhaust manifolds feed large, true-dual pipes, with the help of a Comp flat-tappet cam. A correct 033 radiator circulates water through pliable Mopar hoses and modern screw clamps. And overall, this Dodge's clean engine bay is a nice combination of form and function, featuring a reproduction MoPar battery, an authentic Chrysler washer tank and high quality ARP fasteners.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

Bottom side, a correct Chrysler A833 4-speed twists a proven 8.75-inch rear end that's fitted with correct 3.91 gears. That smooth drivetrain feeds a familiar front torsion bar and rear leaf suspension that's shackled to factory manual steering and aftermarket shocks. At the front of that suspension, factory disc brakes have been supplemented with slotted rotors. At the back of that suspension, factory drum brakes have been replaced with an SSBC disc conversion. And at the corners of those floors, 15-inch steelies spin 215/70 BF Goodrich Radial redlines, and 235/70 BF Goodrich Radial redlines, around red-trimmed center caps.

INTERIOR

Inside this Dart, a quality Legendary interior does an excellent job of mimicking correct factory fodder. The car's bucket and bench seats are soft to the touch, featuring pliable covers that present very well. In front of those perches, a warp-free dash frames a trademark square speedometer above an old school Dart Solid State and small Auto Gage accessory gauges. Below that dash, a wood-trimmed and black-dyed console anchors a simple Hurst shifter. And, in front of the driver, a wood-look steering wheel spins bright spokes around a Sunpro Super Tach II.

Well-built, compact MoPars are just good, clean fun. Call, click or visit http://RKMotorsCharlotte.com for more information on this awesome Dart!
