Barn find - floor shift - what did I find?

[guitarguy318]

Hi all, here's a 73 Dart Sport that came with a 318 and a manual trans... it has what looks like a big rear end under it. Back seat folds. Plenty of patina! No engine or trans. Can somebody tell me more from the tag or photos? What's that rear?

I do appreciate it! Long time lurker, I love this place.

Looks like a Hang 10 Dart Sport. Judging by the seats. 8 1/4 rear?

The Hang 10's did not come out until the 1974 model year. ;-)

For 1973 Dart info, look here;

the g is 318 the 3 is for 1973. so ll29 g 3 and the ect....pretty neat car for it's day.

I agree. It had the "GO FAST" look with the stripes and hood. 318 with a 3 speed.

Light Gold with a gold full vinyl top, black side stripe and tail stripe, parchment interior........

Would have been a great looking car when new.
