The Pre-63 Darts were B bodies (and heavier). For the most part, more rigid safety standards made the A-body Darts heavier over time. Door side crash supports (68 or 69), shock absorbing bumpers (73 & up), larger tires, wheels and brakes, etc.

Your 68 Post is probably one of the lighter cars, 1/4 mile racers tend to like them (although they may have been lighter because the Posts usually had fewer options than the Hardtops). Your Post seems to have been better equipped than most, guessing by the optional stainless trim around the side windows (probably part of an option package??).



Yeah, I was just a bit curious. Here is what my 68 Dart had for options, not much (from mymopar.com):

MOLDINGS:
14: Sill Mouldings
43: Unknown Option
78: Wheel Lip Mouldings

ABC OPTIONS:
R1: AM Radio
S1: Air Conditioning
X1: Tinted Glass (all)
Y6: Black Vinyl Top

abc OPTIONS:
m6: Driver's Outside Remote Operated Mirror

The stainless trim may be that 43 code. I haven't been able to find out what it is.

I was also curious with regards to the 63-66 Darts, because they seem to be a lot smaller then the 67-76's. How much of a difference do you think they are in weight? 200-300 lbs? Just trying to learn a little more each day.
