Oddball 1970 Dart GT Find....

Really? Well I can personally tell you that this is information that Bruce was not aware of. Because I spoke with him in depth about it and he said many times that he had not found anything other than slant 6 cars as of yet. I know after he got sick, he had very little if nothing to do with that site, so I think perhaps he simply didn't know about it. I think he would be exploding! lol Now, if we can just find one with a 340 4 speed. LOL

Bruce knew about the V8 cars. Both of my '71 GT's have 318's, and I spoke to Bruce personally about them a few times on the phone, he entered both of them into the registry himself. I don't think he ever updated the front page of the site from the time that he started it.

Now, this IS the first GT I've seen without a floor shifter. The buckets, console and floor shifter were pretty much all part of the GT package.

Some of the GT's were delivered in "packages" to certain dealerships. I believe that part of that story is on the GT registry site, a batch of them were shipped to a dealership in Washington, all of them were FF4 green (green cars to the "evergreen" state).

My butterscotch(EL5) GT is also a Windsor car, but the buildsheet's changed in '71, so mine appears a little different. Mine is one of only a handful on the site that were built in Ontario for US export, most of the US cars were built at the LA plant (like my GK6 GT). I also have a F09 code that isn't in any of the decoders, no idea what that is.

It'd be a shame to part the thing, its definitely a different bird even by GT standards. I'd like to see the roof reinforcement for sure!
