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.

I still don't figure out what most of ya'alls posts about /6 darts and 273 you sold for $2500 had anything to do with a D Dart. oh well, just filler, like this post, In this thread alone, I've nearly heard of every D built?

It's a natural SS/I class car. With a 10.85 index, it would have to go real low 10's to be competitive. If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Last time I saw he still had it. It's been in relative hiding on the SF peninsula after being rescued from an SF taxi driver, who by the looks of the right quarter, used to park by feel........... If I remember correctly it came from a dealer in Santa Rosa.

Quote: Under no circumstances will headers be allowed, including those cars that had headers delivered in the trunk. There's been a number of people that showed documentation for a '64 Dodge with the Hemi and headers from the factory (not in the trunk) but the FAST people have disallowed it.

Wonder if that would apply to the D/Darts as well? Upgrade meaning a tire from a slightly later year, like 1970, not current. Got to admit, that light car and a big inch small block would be a killer package. I used to care but....... things have changed

Anonymous Unregistered A	I have a set of headers that one tube on each side go through the fenderwell and then bolts up on the bottom of the collector area .Who makes these or what brand are they. The set I had was brand new and looked to be pretty OLD. We used them on a 69 Dart for a few weeks and engine break in and when I gave the car to my Soninlaw he wanted to go with an original set of 340 manifolds I had. So we swapped them out and repaired the holes in the fenderwell of the 69 Swinger. I thought about using them on my 67 Dart Gasser but I want a FULL FENDERWELL HEADER for it.If anyone is needing a set like them I may be selling them before too long.

Everthing just slips together. The reason the original owner removed the headers that I have from the D/Dart was because they leaked. I wonder why? I think they were on the car for about a year.

It had a factory auxillary cannister to store vacuum for the power brake booster. It was white with a red interior.It was bone stock with all the original 273 Hipo Dress up. It was an Automatic. It had the orignal deep steel wheels. I sold it for $1500 seven years ago. I bought it for $150. And it ran good.

They had a brand new Dart, they turned into a race car. It was a 273, yellow with black interior. For over 40 years now, I always thought it was a D-Dart. It just seemed so odd for me at the time that they would race a brand new Dart.

That was before they widened the road in the early 70s. I worked at the Vickers station across the street at Kellogg and Erie. There was a Fina next door, they are all gone. They would be 2 blocks west of Sunnyside school, if you know where that is. I noticed the Ceros candy store has also moved.

They didn't build 64 Hemi hardtops either.Built 35.No hemi 4 doors, built 3-5.There was a car I saw a few years back that looked to be a D-dart here locally.It had the headers, 4 spd and the codes on the tag.Car was a lt blue w/blue int 2 dr sedan.Unrestored.Not saying it was real but it sure looked to be.I would like to view it again and take a longer look at it.

Harolds was directly across the street. The last remaining parking lot light, finally came down just a few years ago. I was just astounded at 16 years old, someone would and could, do that to a brand new car. Of course, they wouldn't let me hang around, but I did sneak a few peaks at it. Loved how it sounded when they were tuning on it.

Going home from work last night, I remembered the name they painted on the side of the Harold's Texaco Dart. El Bandito! At 16, I was even more shocked that they did that.

If there was a shoot out with a D dart, L79 Nova, and a 289 Comet in a magazine, I'd buy it....Hell, is it was close enough, I;d pay to see it. Only problem is I havent seen a legit L79 Nova at the track in like forever..... Course, I havent SEEN a D Dart in person.... Good info here on the D Darts.... Even if there is alot of stuff here about Darts that arent LO cars. I used to care but....... things have changed

I believe there's a guy that lives close to Johnstown, PA that has a yellow one. Maybe that's the car that you saw back in 66. I think that one was repainted yellow. I'll have to give the guy a call and get some info on the car.

I have been trying to find out if it is indeed one of the very first S's made that year. It seems like the manufacturer liked to make the showier models first to create more hipe??? 66Scar
