Any owners on da board? FWIW, a D Dart is the car in a barn I dream of...... I just sold a 66 dart was originally a 273 GT 4 speed car. Now had a nice running /6 in it and still the 4 speed. rust free. $2500 bucks. Ran great and was very straight for the $. Last year I was given a 66 dart vert. no engine and trans and someone had put a tilt front end on it. I bought a 70 barracuda and was given the dart and cleaned the guys yard for the deal and then gave away the vert to another guy. so they are out there and usually pretty cheap. Dave LAWFISH

There is something cool about a small displacement, high winding four speed A body. the fact that Ma Mopar made one specificaly for the strip makes that car the most desirable one to me. Ive had a 65 Dart and a 63 Dart, both GTs. I used to care but....... things have changed

Also know of one for sale that is VERY RUSTY but the guy wants a restored price for it, hoping he comes to his senses one day and sells it for a reasonable price. They are rare and neat little cars. I also have a friend that recently sold his 8k original mile survivor 65 Dart GT 273 HP Auto car with the original Factory Cragers on it(Had the Dart Charger or Super Stock package). Car has been in many books and magazines and perfect in every way, heated garage since new and the man is a fanatic about his cars, he was the original owner.

A 4bbl 273 does not a D-Dart make. I'd like to learn more about them myself. Sounds like they were quite the screamer for what they were! Nothing to see here. Carry on.

It's a shame they stopped at a one year offering and didn't carry on/progress. Scott B. "I'm a self-made man...
