I have compiled a list (from my memory) - anyone else have any more? - there was a good thread about a year ago outlining some of the differences, but I guess it is gone now - not in my favs or search for???
A few things I have found
1. Grills are different between all years, 67-68 will swap though 2. Header panels are different all three years, again 67-8 will swap, 67 has PLYMOUTH spelled out, but '68 had it as one word, '69 had a bump in the center, '67-8 were flat along the top. 3. 67 has a one year only idler arm 4. 67 was the last year for the 273, the 68 got the 318/340/383 (the 383 was avail in '67) 5. The wiper motors are different 6. The fish emblem is bigger on a '67 and placed at the front of the fender, 68 is toward the back 7. '67 has no side markers 8. '68 grill/fenders has another hole in the left and right ends of the grill 9. '67 used the inland shifter; sometime in '68 they moved to HURST 10. in a four speed, the output shaft yoke is the small dia (the 904 style) the later ones used the large 727 yoke 11. The '67 used a smaller (3 speed) output bearing on the 4-speed then the '68+ (it was the same for '66 BTW). 12. The 67 used a smaller 9.5" clutch and the later ones used the larger 10.5" - the belhousing on a '67 is cast iron as well, and later ones are Aluminum. 13. The dash is different, the pad only covers the top, '68 the pad has a "knee pad", and 69 only covers the top, but the top pad is different. 14. The dash bezels are different - the '67 had the cig lighter in the ash tray 15. The glove box door is different as well; both in the hinges and the handle; '68's have a button (I think??) 16. The glove box cardboard box is different - it attached differently then '68+ 17. The tach for a '67 is different then a '68 the sweep range is different 18. '67 the trip odo was standard, optional in '68+ 18a. The speedo cable was different - it screwed into the back of the speedo in '67 and snapped in in '68+ 19. For a 'vert, the inside around the window trim is painted black in '68+ in '67 the a-pilar moldings were plastic chrome and the upper part was chrome. 20. The wing ding (vent window on the door) channel and handle is different between the years, '67 has a straight handle, 68+ curves in torawd the door. 21. The doors are different, '67 has a screw holding on the wing ding (vent window) which can be seen inside the car, '68 had a plug there, '69 had nothing, 22. 67 + 68 have the door vents in the front of the door and the bottom (behind the front seat), '69 does not 23. The side view mirror was moved in '68 24. The door lock was moved in '69 up torward the driver 25. The door panels are different 26. The seat frames are different, '67 used the '66 style with steal trim for the back and bottom, '68 used something different. 27. The console was changed in '69 to a wood grain insert, the '66-68 had a black strip - both 4 speed and auto 29. The arm rests are different on a '67, they have something like a "shelf" that the pad mounts to, 68+ used the later style, which were used until '76 30. The door hardware is different, the window crank on a '67 is all metal, '68+ used a metal bar w/plastic handle 31. The rear door panels are different, but the converts are the same. 32. The gas cap is different in '69 it said "FUEL" 33. The gas tank is differen in '67 - it used one strap going from left to right, 68+ used two straps going front to back. 34. '67 had single exhaust (I think the 383 had dual, but not sure) 68 had dual exhaust. 35. '67 did not use chrome exhaust tips - the hi po cars used the 273 resonator system 36. The reverse lights are different, '67 used the long style (I think) '68 had none (they were in the tail light) and '69 used a shorter style and a longer style, but I think they are different then the ones used in '67. 37. The trunk lids are different, they have different emblem holes. 38. '67 trunk trim was 3-pieces, '68 was two, '69 was one 39. The tail lights are different for all 3 years 40. The vin number on a '67 is on the a pillar in front of the door, in '68 it is on the dash 41. The dash frames are different (the glovebox lid + plastic dash + the '68 is purforated along the top under the pad - '67 is solid). 42. The radios were different, '67 had knobs, '68 used thump wheel. 43. The '67 had the horn relay under the hood (near the horns) and in '68 it was moved under the dash 44. All 3 years used different rocker panel moldings, the '67 were thin (about 2-3"), '68 had a thin spear, with a pot metal piece with fins near the rear wheel. 45. The optional wood grain on the upper dash bezel was different on '69s compared to the '67-'68 style wood grain 46. The window lock strip was different in '67 vs. 68+ (for both the front and back windows), in '67 it used a lock strip (like the '66 and the 80's trucks) and in '68+ it was glued in and had stainless steel trim. - The vert used the same style for all 3 years though (lock strip in the bottom & stainless trip around the top) 47. The convt top & vinyl top were different grains in '67 & '68 (and maybe '69). 48. The hood trim was different for all 3 years, ' '67 used the thin fins for all models, '68 used callouts on the HP models, and a simpler design for the low po models, 49. The hood was different '67-8 to '69.
That is all I can think of off the top of my head...

How about the 68- 69 stripes and the single formula S emblem on the rear in 69. The hood mounted signal lights ? Recall wheels ? Hubcaps ? Steering wheels ?
Not sure (I do not know much about the '69's (I have a '67 and worked with '68's).
I do know something about the hood mounted vs. fender - can someone verify?.
Recall wheels? - I do not know - I know about the KH recall wheels, but did they put them on 'cudas?
Steering wheels - that is a good one... '67 had the 3-spoke w/large horn ring (bottom of wheel only) with an optional wood grain wheel - what was avail in '68+? - anyone know?
Thanks, for the suggestions to the list

I could be wrong, but is the 4 speed 68 HURST lettering on the non console handle ( replaced inland) different from the 69 non console handle HURST lettering. 69 shown on the left, 68 on right
Very interesting - I did not know that, can anyone verify? - thanks ....

According to Legendary Interior's 2007 Catalog, page 103 (center) The 1968 models came with burlwood rather than woodgrain on the upper dash and console. Also, the deluxe door panels for the 68's have the burlwood grain strip. Can anyone verify this?
Sounds correct except no wood grain on the consoles of the '67-'68. Only the '69 had the wood grain on the console.

How about the horse power ratings of the 383 during the three years. I believed the '69 was rated higher then the '68 and the '68 was rated higher then the '67 383. I know the '69 got better exhaust manifolds then the '68. Maybe someone can chime in with the details.
The 67 version had 516 heads; carb was AFB, cam was standard 383 2bbl/4bbl with 256/260 duration, .425/.437 lift; exhaust was 2 1/4" head pipes and 1 7/8" tail pipes.
68 versions got 906 heads, better intake, AVS carb, same standard-performance 2bbl/4bbl cam as 67, and exhaust was 2 1/2" head pipes with 2 1/4" tail pipes.
69 versions were the same as 68 except for the cam, which was upgraded to the Road Runner/GTX hi-po cam, IIRC 268/284 duration, .450/.465 lift.
Passenger side exhaust manifold was the same all three years; 68-9 used a different driver's side manifold than 67. (440 used the 383 passenger side manifold, had a unique driver's side)
67 A-body 383 was rated 280 hp, 68 was 300hp, 69 was 330 (440 was 375).

Just a little something I have learned about a 69 hood,a dart sport hood is a bolt on and can be spotted right away by the crumple zone.
Any '73 up Dart hood will bolt right on and look correct. I believe the braces under the hood are different.

Not true. The 68 only used the same hood mounted turn signal indicators as 68 Dodge b bodies.

I'll agree with that. But what did '67 and '69's use then?
