Hi all. Brought this home a couple days ago. 273, originally 2brl but came with an Eddy 500. A904. 7-1/4 2.96? Gears. Supposed to be a Texas car. Factory Airtemp. Looking forward to learning some body work skills. 99% rust free but has some bumps and bruises. Original 13” wheels. Came with a ton of extras. A body 8-3/4, spare 318 and a bunch of ‘68 Dart parts. Hello to my old pal Pauly!

Doesn't look like a bad car, driver door took a good hit. And welcome to the site.
 
Nice ride. Welcome!
 
Be aware there are a few "1 year only" items about the car. I don't remember for sure, I believe later doors interchange, but that the window regulators are actually different. The rear bumper is only year with the reverse lights in the bumper, the tail light buckets are a bit smaller than 68-9. Of course no side reflectors or markers. The headlights are mounted slightly narrower, IE you cannot put a 68-9 grille on one without relocating the headlight mountings.

68 is first year of dash VIN, but neither 67 nor 8 are "numbers matching" as the body numbers are not partial vin, rather, they are an internal factory number. You can justify the body numbers to the vin if you have the build sheet and certicard I believe.

69 is first year of "matchiing numbers" AKA it does have partial vin on the body and engine, don't know about transmission.

If you do not have a service manual, run over to MyMopar.com and dance around. I believe you can download both the factory manual and the parts manual

Thanks for the reply. I believe the windshield gasket and or finish trim may be ‘67 only too. Along with the drag link set up. I’m going to lean on y’all for the project. Cheers!
 
Yeah, the 67 did have some one year only parts and pieces. Between the 67 Dart and 67 Barracuda, it's a tough choice for me which I like best.

Forgot to mention. It is not too hard to use 68/ later windshield/ rear gaskets and install the clips for the 68 / later trim. The idler arm is expensive. If you can weld you could modify that to take the 68/ later idler, or swap the K member

I FINALLY had pulled the engine out of the shed to work on mine, but a house fire has "fixed" those plans
