"Dart67"
Well-Known Member
Hello For A-Bodies Only,
I have been lurking on the site for more years then I can remember.
I tried a few time to register with my username form BigBlockDart (Dart67), but someone else had already used (dart67) and the system would not let me use that username.
Any way I finally figured out that I could add quotes to the Username and register, so here I am.
I have been a member at BigBlockDart for more years then I can remember.
I bought my first Dart new in 1965.
It was a dealer demo and a little different. The local dealer in Bloomington, Il. at that time had a thing about ordering his demo cars as 4 door sedans with the highest horse powered engine available for each model line and then using them to street race.
My "65" was a Dart 270 4 door sedan, Charger 273 4bbl, column shift 904 auto. It was a real sleeper. I took a lot of dollars from the Mustang and Camaro/Malibu boys.
I traded my "65" for a 1966 Dart GT Convertible, 273 2bbl, 904 auto., Mauve color.
It did not have the get up and go that I wanted.
So in December of 1966 I was back at the local Dodge dealer talking trade again.
I wanted to order a 1967 Dart 270 convertible with the 383 4bbl, 4 speed but the dealer told me that the Dart 270 Convertible option had been dropped for the 1967 model year.
They told me that I could only get the 383 in a GTS model and that it would not be available for order until February of 1967.
I could not afford the extra cost of the GTS and did not want to wait another two months to order.
So I ordered the car I still have today.
A 1967 Dart 270 2 door hardtop Charger 273 4bbl, 4 speed, 3.91 8 3/4" Sure Grip, Heavy Duty Suspension (Same as Formula S), AM radio and Sill moldings.
The Window Sticker price was $3092.20.
Over the years I have hot rodded and made a few changes to the car. I am now in the process of slowly putting it back to original.
I bought my 1967 Dart GT convertible in Topeka, Kansas on 7/4/1998. It was a very clean, rust free 225 Slant Six. I bought it to convert to a big block car.
Over the last 13 1/2 years it has evolved to what it is now, a 512 cu.in. EFI monster.
I was privileged to have the car featured as the centerfold article in the October 2006 issue of MOPAR Action.
