Dart Charger
The Dart/Charger was a 65 Dart GT model that had those 13 inch Cragar's (pretty rare) and had the fender insignia you have. From what I've read, they seemed to be mostly sold in the CA area and might have been some sort of dealer thing. I don't think they were sold in big numbers. The motor was a standard 273/235 horse motor with the wrinkle finish valve covers and chrome air cleaner with the Charger 273 decal. There's a member in Sweden who has one and will probably chime in when he sees this thread. By the way, Doug Dutra over at slantsix.org has an early Barracuda with a 64 Dart front clip on it (it's called Dacuda).
I've had a project in mind for many years. of course it will be for fun and not specifically correct by any means. my plan is to build a pre 1966 Dodge Charger. I plan on starting with an early Barracuda with a Dart front clip. I have a 273 Dart Charger engine complete with chrome air cleaner and finned valve covers. I plan on removing any indication that it was ever a Barracuda and putting Charger stuff on it. I have this stuff to lend a semblance of authenticity to the project:
I just thought I'd see if anyone here has ever seen this stuff before and might be able to confirm what little information I have. the Hubcaps fit 13" Bell Auto (Cragar) SS wheels there's also 2 insignia for the front fenders and one for the dash. I have always been under the impression that they would have been used in either 1965 or 1966 and in a similar manner as the Formula S on the Barracuda. anyway let me know what you think and if you know anything about this stuff. also if you have any documentation, that would be great!
