The 1970-1971 Dart GT Registry

lordoffrisco said

Hello guys,

just found this thread and I have one question - maybe someone can give me an answer.

View attachment 1715082228

I have a 1970 Dodge Dart GT as you can see in my garage. It has the 318 C.i. 2bbl, 904TF, front sway bar, buckets, Console, 8 3/4 with 323. And it has HD Drum Brakes (not powered). But then Bruce wrote "All came with Power Steering" - but mine is a manual steering car since factory (also not fast manual steering!). It was an export car for Canada. The steering wasn't converted from Power Steering to manual steering when I look at all the parts...

Someone may have an answer for this?

Thanks in Advance!

Like DartGTDan I don't know a ton about the '70's. Both of my GT's are '71's, so that's what I spent my time learning about.

I can tell you my EL5 GT has factory power steering, while the GK6 car was manual. I have the fender tag and build sheet for the EL5 car to prove it.

I can also tell you there isn't a ton of info from the factory about how these cars were equipped, and while Bruce knew a lot about them he was still finding things out about them himself as he added cars to the registry.

I had the pleasure of talking to Bruce a few times by phone about my cars. The GK6 car was #69 in the registry, and the first '71 in the registry with dual mirrors. I forget the registry number of the EL5 car, might have been 65. I have it in my files somewhere along with copies of the registry list from the website.
