Kyle,

Rule #1 - Don't ever try to figure out what the Chrysler Performance Technicians were thinking.

Rule #2 - Don't ever forget Rule #1.

Rule #3 - Always refer to Rule #1.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That said,

Does the Dart GTS have both front and rear 'torque boxes'.

The 4-Speed 383 cars had both front and rear.

The Automatic 383 cars only had rears, but sometimes both.

Does the Dart GTS have any idications of a Console.

These cars were GTS 383's with console shifted automatics.

All '6' 1968 cars were converted to 440's with B&M Automatic
Transmissions.

Investigation #2

You might have to check 1968, 1969 and 1970 Race Results at the
following California Tracks
* Carlsbad
* Irwindale
* Freemont
* Bakersfield
* Lions
* Fontana
* Riverside
* OCIR
* San Fernando

Charlie Allen was at the March 1968 'Hot Rod Magazine Championships at Riverside Raceway with that Dart.

The 1968 Dart '440 GTS' was classed in;
* SS/EA in 1968
* SS/GA in 1969
* SS/FA in 1970.

Information, back in 1968 "no' Header Company made an under-chassis
set for the 440 A-Body.

Only fenderwell units (Hooker Headers).
