Re: Mopars Little A Body Terrors...
Right out of high school July 1971 got a 68 Dart GTS 340 automatic red - black top and interior with a black strip down the side. It had 47k miles when I got then when I traded it off in April of 73 it had 104K. Moved from Kansas City ( 7/72) to Denver. Many street races won with that car. A non posi 3.23, a real terror from 20 mph roll. Lots of good memories. Think I have one old Instamatic picture somewhere. I only replaced the water and power steering pumps and drove it hard. :eek:

I ordered the car in 1971 from a dealer in Kissimmee Florida with everything but air conditioning. It is an original 340 car. Full power and an automatic with sure grip and a 3.91 axle. I paid $3165.00 out the door. My street car at the time was a '31`Model A 5 window coupe with a single 4 barrel HEMI. When my dad retired from the military in '67 he bought a Dodge dealership in Central Florida that came with a "'66 D Dart". I still have the first trophy I won in that car. Got to know Ed through racing the Demon. I was in Florida and he was in NJ, which worked out well. Anybody who knows Ed will understand what I mean. Nobody was building the TQ carbs and everyone other than some of the guys who had to run them hated them. I sort of enjoyed running the TQ when I street raced just to see the reaction of the guys I would beat when I opened the hood and they saw the TQ instead of a Holley sitting there. That was the beginning of Competition Carburetion. I built TQ's for Ed and most of the cars in his stable as well as his customers. Still building them to this day for my Volare' and a few other racers. Jim . |

A local gentleman who used to race big block Chevies (in an assortment of bodies) has told me that the 340s were the cars that gave him the most trouble.
