1966 Gts?

merzz said

Does the 1966 Dart GTS exist? I have seen an 1966 mopar memo on modifing darts and barracudas for road racing that mentions them as well as a recent mag. article. The memo stated the GTS as having 273, 4 speed ,8 3/4,ftr. disk, hd susp, sway bar,quick steer and goodyear bluestripe tires. My 66 dart gt has all the above. I have the broadcast sheet . My "little white book" dosen't list them either. Any help befor I begin resto. would be great! thanks!

Not all hipo cars came with disks or for that matter 8.75 rears. The early 65 4 speed cars came with 7.5 rears and probably went through several before the dealer replac it's possible that some of the 4 gear cars slipped through with the smaller gear. In 66 all 4 gear cars had 8,75's while the auto cars could be had with 7,5 rears. It's possibel that there were a few 4 gear GTs that slipped through with the smaller rear and was replaced under warrenty when the owner blew the ring and pinion. The disk cars ad a unique single res. (can't spell) master cylinder. As far as GT Sport, that marque started in 68. The 67 383 and 273 cars were still GTs.
