1969 was the last year for a 273 and they did come in Dart GT convertibles. I have never seen an "F" code (318) Dart with a "D" code (273) installed from the factory, and I have owned dozens of them (no joke). The breakdown of all Darts are widely known. The Dart convertible only came in 2 flavors for 1969, GT and GTS. There were 1,837 Dart GT convertibles made and 417 Dart GTS convertibles made. The 318 4-speed is one rare puppy and IS a desireable car. I even had a 68 Dart 270 4-door with a 273 4-speed with factory A/C for awhile, so lots of unique Darts were made. That is an example of a rare but not desireable Dart, the one you are looking at IS rare and desireable! If it were a factory 3-speed, then there was only ONE made! Maybe not totally desireable, but I would LOVE to find that one!



So my Dad went backwards when he built my Moms old car- It was a 69 GTS vert clone built off a 318/833 GT, It was red with white top and int and the parts donor was a low mile 69 GTS HT that had some severe cancer.

As far as I know it's still around in the N. KY/Ohio area, My Dad had got a call about it in '03 when it changed hands and I saw it at the nats in the mid 90's.
