Is it a GT or a regular Dart in GT trim ?

Thanks for the info and picture. I love that style of center console,theres a 318 gt nearby that has one.

Was this a 1967-1969 only option? Personally I think the dart really went downhill after 1969.
Personally I dont like the front and rear end redesign of the 70's forward so it wouldnt shock me if the console went away too.

its pretty much the same deal on later cars as far as the console being an extra charge option with bucket seat cars.

after 69 the GTS model went away so that took a lot of fun out of it ...the gts was basically a mini-GTX.

the main reason it went away is bcoz it was expensive ....69 was the first year for the swinger 340 which was a cheap muscle car and the sales boomed.....so after 70 the swinger 340 was the top model untill the Dart Demon 340 and Duster 340 took over.

the GT was around in 70 and 71 also but only as a package ....you got a Dart Custon and added the GT package which included special emblems and bucket seats ....very rare BTW.

69 and up also had the woodgrain console ...the one in the pic ^ is the 66-68 style ...starting for the 69 model year federal anti-glare laws were passed so starting in 68 in all US built cars ...interior chrome was minimized ...main reason the woodgrain emerged. the feds believed too much chrome could blind the driver in certain conditions and cause an accident
