Would the Commando 66 dart come with a 4/speed and a console? Met this guy who’s had one parked since the 1980s showed me some pictures but on the fender it just had the v8 badge not the 273 commando badge, have yet to see the v tag hopefully I see that 32 on there

As the tool man hinted at, there was no such thing as a "Commando" Dart. Commando was a Plymouth name. The same engine in a Dart was the Dart Charger 273. The car I posted above was a non-console four speed 235hp car. D/Darts (275hp) did not come with a console, but were all four speeds. Interestingly enough, the 275hp motor was not available in a Plymouth. The emblems on a Dart were 273 four barrel (both horsepower versions). On a Valiant or non-Formula S Barracuda you got Commando V8 emblems. On a Formula S you only got the "S" emblems.
