1968 Dodge Dart Street Strip car
This is My 1968 Dart Project.
I bought it 2 years ago In ct. for $2,200 I originally Planned to just do a regular GTS clone with a 360 and mostly stock everything. I also did not intend on getting this deep in on this project. The car started out as a Original Paint Little old ladies 1968 dart with a running 225 slant in it, We tore the thing apart in no time and either sold or junked everything we are not going to use, (front suspension, Motor, Trans, Rear suspension ect ect. We have gotten It media blasted and it is soon to be on its way to the body shop. Heres the plan for it, 1968 Dart Built 340 (already have) 510hp Bulit TSR 727 trans with brake Tubular QA1 Mopar torsion bar K-Frame with all Tubular parts. 4 wheel Areospace disc Brakes Built Moser Dana 60 Complete Caltrac setup The car will be Mini tubbed with a 14 Inch tire on the back and skinnies up front. Now this dart is not a full time race call but WILL be taken to the track. Heres some pics, starting at the PO house
