Pretty cool '68 Dart GT convertible my buddy just picked up

[70DartMike]

I just drove this car home from Duncan on Vancouver Island, an hour north to Parksville, for my buddy Brad. He just bought the car today, pretty cool A body! He sold his '69 Charger last summer and has been watching for something to catch his eye.

It's a '68 Dart GT convertible, factory red with white interior. Fender tag says originally a slant 6 with 3 on the tree, however now it has a 273 Commando with 4 speed. 8 3/4 with 3.23 gears. Has a bulge hood now and a bumblebee stripe, not sure if the stripe was original. It was ordered when new.

Drove it home with no issues, although the brakes need to be addressed, hence why it stopped at my house for a few days. Looking forward to seeing this car out and about. Last picture is it in my garage with my '70 340 4 speed Dart.

Very nice car for sure. Not trying to be critical but just my opinion, the bumble bee stripe clashes will both the gt moldings and the d a r t callous letters on the 1/4 panel. Just like a woman whose a little this, or that, no reason not to take either one out for a ride.

You are correct... read the post and you'll see I mentioned it's a 273 LOL

I agree, I thought the same thing when I first saw it. I don't think the stripe needs to be there if keeping the GT trim, or remove the trim and keep the stripe. That being said, I like seeing cars with their original trim, too much of it gets removed and thrown out in favor of just a stripe.
