Brazil's rare barn find !
No, the amber foglights behind the grille were a dealer installed option.
Here are more pics on this magnificent 1971 Dart Coupé that's a quite a daily driver for Mr. Michel, one of the first early production cars we've had the lucky to found, and this one stays in the family for more than thirty years in a row (sorry about the quality on these images, they were captured by a cell phone):
Now the engine bay (very similar to the 1970 green Dart Sedan):
Here's the only identification tag that was used on the Darts, from 1969 till 1981, at the end of production:
Now some pics on the Dart's interior, remembering that the sport steering wheel, bucket seats, air conditioning, 4-speed shifter on the floor, console & stereo sound equipment were all dealer's aftermarket installed options (not original)
Now a close look to the Rally dash, this is original but the tachometer on the center pod was an extra option:
And here's another local Chrysler production: a Dodge 1800 dubbed "Polara", based on the Hillman Avenger / Plymouth Cricket cars, this one belongs to Mr. Michel and it's all original, a 1976 model also on metallic green colour. Mr. Michel has got another five cars like these, from the first 1973 model to the last, built in 1981:
And finally, here's our 86 year old Mr. Michel sitting behind our pride & Joy, the 1979 Dart Coupé, this car was mantained all these years with his care, knowledge and original parts...
