Who can pick out all the glaring errors? frown The 67 trunk lid makes me wonder about the rest... work

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Not me but I'll take it.....for $35k. never mind, I know, I'm off by $40k : wave My father-in-law was badly hurt in a '69 Dart soon after he bought it new. Told my wife if I ever found an affordable blue '69 Dart, I'd get it in a shout out to him. he's been gone for a while but what a great guy and I miss him almost as much as my own dad.

Wrong engine color, electronic ignition, wrong plug wires, aftermarket radiator cap..
Just at a glance. It's a pretty looking Dart though. I had a '69 Turquoise Dart with a slant six, white
vinyl interior and top. I should have kept mine too.

GTS models got a grille blackout, right ?
I'm not a Dart expert - don't know the difference between '67 and '69 trunk lids - but I do see some small stuff.
Great color, though, and it's shiny & clean...

Grille paint scheme is for a lesser 170-270-Swinger model
F-body shift handle
Arm rest painted silver, should be chrome
Is that a 70-71 E/B-body “402” pan?
Some weird shadows on passenger fender well, but lots of holes left
Rocker trim looks short, could be the Camaro reprop that’s “close” but incorrect. Still held in with shoddy installed self tapping screws

Negative battery cable used for ground strap. Could be oversized self tapped bolt used
Missing ignition wire hold downs

Electric fuel pump back by the tank and a custom main fuel line.

It is a great looking car. I can see why it was bid up.

Its been asked with no reply, so maybe you didn't hear/see the question?

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A '67 TRUNK LID AND A '69?

Yes I know I'm yelling, I'm trying to get your attention for an answer! biggrin

Thank you! beer

Sorry, been busy transporting the last couple of days, I don't take my computer with me and Moparts on my phone just SUXXX! The 67 trunk lid under bracing has openings with goop squeezing out, 68-69 had one solid under bracing and you can't see the goop... wave I am heading to MECUM on Friday to check it out closer and watch it go for way too much money...LOL..

Thank you as I was wondering myself. Maybe it was dealer replaced as the lid with openings would be lighter, kind of like painting the grille and undercoating the spare tire well🤣🤣🤣 stirthepot

My '69 Dart GTS (M-code) has the original jack instructions on the left/driver's side of the trunk lid, is that the norm for a Hamtramck assembly '69 Dart?

I've seen them on either side, probably depended on if the line worker was right or left handed! laugh2 You think it would be on the right side where the jack is? work

back in the day these cars had factory runs in the paint. But so did many GM cars and trucks i lived very close to a new car dealer and looked at ne cars all the time. I am sure all the others did too.

having worked the line in the early 70's you are not to far off base wink They weren't specific other than on the bottom of the trunk lid, spare tire cover etc. Some motors had the crayon valve cover markings towards the front other toward the back. In addition 80+% of the line were on drugs of some sort. AMHIK wink beer
