1968 dart GTS convertible
There is always a big discussiion about the 65 dart chargers topic .. Well Id' like to share with you all what I had over the years ..
I had two... 1965 dart chargers ... both auto -commando cars . the first one the one that is restored had the commando auto witha peanut rear end.. car was solid as a rock . also had white and tan interior all stock with all the badges. had a white vinyl roof though .. that was unusual i thought. beautiful car when finished it. oh yeah . this one had oem AC . & tinted glass. the dart was in mint condition when I sold it.
The other 65 dart charger was here also in wi. had my eye on for many many years until the guy finally let it go.. the old commando was gone and replaced with a 318.. but switched over the intake , carb , valve overs and exh. manifolds, dual point .. had a 8 3/4 in that one. Had all black interior. all the badges also. that one I sold and did not restore it.1990's . solid as a rock also.car sat for 10 years garaged before I got it.
Both cars had 904's , auto console cars .
Both had the rear valance cut out for the exhaust tip and both had the paint vid code 999 special order. very cool . it's funny that both of these cars made it here to wisconsin over the years all the way from CA.
My first one has had two other owners since I owned it . It is suppto be down south Gorgia area. the other I sold to a gentleman up north of here 15 years ago.. Have not seen it come out yet. he was going to restore it.
Today ... . I'm seaching for another 65 dart charger with a four speed now. sooooooooo... If anyone knows of one for sale or any leads .. please let me know >> [email protected].
Thanks !
