Been asked what the "GT" on my 67 Dart GT stands for, I am pretty sure it stands for Grand Touring correct?
What does GT stand for?

Found this and I agree.
'GT' means 'grand touring' in English; it refers to a vehicle that has supposedly been designed for high-speed highway travel, hence the 'grand' in touring.
In reality, any auto maker can put a 'GT' badge on its vehicles, but unless the engine, trans, and suspension are actually designed for high-speed travel, the car won't be any faster/sporty with the 'GT' in its name or stuck on a fender

I realize it is just a trim level, has the same power train as my 67 270 had.
Thanks

All this time I thought it meant Great Torque, but after thinkin about it, Gas and Tires makes more sense.

If it's like the Vega GT's it stands for Garbage truck
That gets my vote!
GT = Gran Tourismo for European Cars.
GT for Mopars, as in Dart GT, meant a 'sporty dress-up version' of the car,
and had nothing to do with 'performance'.
Though "GT" could mean something else..........'Great Tan'

According to an older neighbor many years ago it stood for 'Got Took'. He was referring to his '65 273 4-speed Dart GT.
