1969 Dodge Dart Gt on 2040-cars
San Jose, California, United States
I am selling my 1969 DODGE DART GT. This car has a LOT of hard to find parts/pieces that MOPAR addicts will love. It has been sitting around waiting to be worked on for about 12 years, and I’ve finally decided to put it up for sale. It was my daily driver back in high school and I drove it for about two years straight before going to college. After returning from college I made a few attempts to work on it, but never made it too far. The last project I started was the body work and paint preparation, which is why it looks so dull in the pictures today. It was a labor of love and I hate to see her go…but I would rather give her a new home then let her sit around any longer.
This car is an original GT car with all the cool extras. The dash VIN and fender tag both match as you can see in the pictures. You can email me if you want a full decode, but here are the highlights of its original stats:
LP23:
The car spent most of its time in a garage and it still RUNS and DRIVES today. Everything on the car works mechanically as well as the electrical. It will likely need a new water pump as it had a small leak from sitting for so many years. While prepping the car for sale I also replaced the fuel filter/line, as well as the master cylinder. You will see from the pictures the car is solid and it has a few spots that will need more work then others. The only real bad rust in on the back driver’s side quarter panel. It has been like that for a long time and never worsened from what you see in the pictures.
Listed below are the specs the car currently sits with:
Engine: 360cu/5.9-liter small block V-8. It has professionally built ported and polished cylinder heads with big valves. Adjustable rocker arms. Crane Cam hydraulic flat tappet cam shaft. Ceramic coated headers. Edelebrock valve covers. All MSD ignition. Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and intake. The engine as a whole only has about 40k miles on it.
Transmission: built 904 transmission with a lower first gear.
Rear end: 8 & 3/4 positraction with 325 gear ratio. See video below for positraction clinic :-)
Brakes: Four wheel drum
Wheels: It has 15” rally wheels in the front and 16” rallies in the back. All four have the center caps (no outer rings though as I never liked the look, so I always passed up buying them at swap meets)
Hood: The car comes complete with an original steel GTS hood with BOTH chrome 340-Four Barrel hood inserts! You will also notice in the pictures it has the original front hood molding. As for the hood clip holes….those were made by the previous owner of the hood….
Interior: Right now the front bucket seats have some run of the mill seat covers to make moving the car around more comfortable. Underneath are the original and tattered seats. You will need new seat foam and upholstery for both bucket seats as well as the rear. The roof was painted, but will likely need another coat before the new headliner goes in.
I replaced the original stereo with a Sony Explod brand CD player as well as some nice Sony Explod rear speakers. The fronts (also Sony Explod brand) are not installed but included with the car.
Body: The entire car was being prepped for paint the last time it was out--hence all the primer spots. The passenger side is straight and you may notice there is no upper chrome piece on either side of the car. Although the GT models came with a chrome piece along the upper body line, I removed it and welded the holes shut. They were then grinded down and smoothed out to give it a more unique look.
So back when the car was a daily driver, my dad took it for a spin and apparently a “deer”….committed suicide by ramming the drivers side of the vehicle while he was driving down the highway…..whether it was a deer or a mountain, we had some work to do at that point. The front driver’s side quarter panel was replaced with another original from the junk yard and you can see the driver’s side portion of the grill is a little jacked up from the impact. We did a little bit of body work on the driver’s side door and it’s not too bad. It has a few waves in it but nothing horrific. I tried to capture everything in the pictures, but if you would like more please feel free to ask.
As you can see from the pictures, I have a ton of extra parts/pieces that all come with the car. This list of parts includes: Four new Spectra brake pads, two matching front Sony Explod speakers, new in the box power/electric antenna, the original horns, hood insert gaskets, original radio, both license plates, battery charger, fire extinguisher, seat belts and seat belt mounts, as well as tons of original nuts/bolts that came off the car while working on it. Also included are some of the original hard to find chrome pieces. There are three “GT” pieces, one “Dart GT”, one “V-8”, and one star emblem. Everything has been packaged nicely and placed in the trunk.
As I said before, the car runs and drives just fine. It needs some work, but there is a lot of potential here. It has a lot of original parts like the chrome bumpers, grill, trunk plate etc that you can see in the pictures. Please check out these videos on YouTube of the car running & driving today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5Ul5_x4mxw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPHylfHeaYQ Here is another video of the car from back in 2002. The engine, exhaust, etc, is the same in this video as it is today. When it was last at the track it ran in the high 14’s in the quarter mile, which isn’t too bad considering it was also a daily driver. Sorry in advance for all the movement. Some of it is from the person taking the original video, but I recorded this on my phone while I played the VHS tape on my television. If this doesn’t make you wanna finish the car and throw down some more rubber I don’t know what will! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tqy9WJZmdPk If for some reason you can not make the links work, check out my YouTube channel: 69DodgeDartforsale If that still does not work, message me and I will email you the videos/links etc.

China own a Detroit automaker? Would the U.S. let that happen?
Tue, Aug 15 2017The news that several Chinese automakers want to buy Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, and that one has even made an offer, elicits some mixed feelings. On one hand, as some have pointed out, it could be a win-win both for China and for FCA's American workers, ensuring the company's survival and opening new markets. On the other hand, this is China, whose trade relationship with the U.S. is the source of considerable scrutiny from the Trump administration — and whose not-a-friend, not-an-enemy status is particularly difficult to gauge right now during heightened tensions with its client state North Korea. So would such a deal pass regulatory muster? One reason that springs to mind for blocking any sale has to do with national security. Chrysler's role as a military supplier dates back to Dodge trucks used by Gen. Blackjack Pershing to chase Pancho Villa in Mexico, and shortly thereafter by American forces in World War I. The Detroit Three automakers were, of course, mainstays of the Arsenal of Democracy of World War II. Even before U.S. entry into the war in December 1941, America's industrial machinery went into overdrive, and Chrysler was one of the biggest cogs. It engineered and built the M3, Sherman and Pershing tanks and trucks for Gen. George Patton's Redball Express. It helped develop a radar-guided antiaircraft gun that knocked German bombers and V1 rockets out of the sky — on one day, shooting down 97 of 101 V1s headed for London. On D-Day, the radar system helped thwart Luftwaffe counterattacks on the beaches of Normandy, and it later helped Allied forces break out at the Battle of the Bulge. Chrysler redesigned the Wright Cyclone engines used by the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, the plane that firebombed Tokyo and dropped the atomic bombs that ended the war. Chrysler even played a secret role refining uranium in Oak Ridge, Tenn., that was used in the Hiroshima bomb and in the ensuing Cold War arms race. It worked on military missiles and was NASA's prime contractor for the Saturn V rocket that put men on the moon. More recently, Chrysler produced the M1 Abrams tank. And of course Chrysler is the keeper of the flame for Jeep, a 75-plus-years military legacy handed down from Bantam and Willys to Kaiser to AMC to Chrysler. The point of this history lesson is to note that in times of war or national emergency, America's industrial might has been called to serve, and may well be called on again.
Auto Mergers and Acquisitions: Suicide or salvation?
Tue, Sep 8 2015We love the Moses figure. A savior riding in from stage right with the ideas, the smarts, and the scrappiness to put things right. Alan Mullaly. Carroll Shelby. Lee Iacocca. Andrew Carnegie. Steve Jobs. Elon Musk. Bart Simpson. Sergio Marchionne does not likely view himself with Moses-like optics, but the CEO of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recently gave a remarkable, perhaps prophetic interview with Automotive News about his interest and the inevitability of merging with a potential automotive partner like General Motors. Marchionne has been overtly public about his notion that GM must merge with FCA. For a bit of context, GM sold 9.9 million vehicles in 2014, posting $2.8 billion in net income, while FCA sold 4.75 million units and earned $2.4 billion in net income, painting a very rosy FCA earnings-to-sales picture. But that's not the entire picture. Most people in the auto industry still remember the trainwreck that was the DaimlerChrysler "merger" written in what turned out to be sand in 1998. It proved to be a master class in how not to fuse two companies, two cultures, two continents, and two management teams. Oh, it worked for the two individuals at both helms pre-merger. They got silly rich. And the industry itself was in a misty romance at the time with mergers and acquisitions. BMW bought Rolls-Royce. Volkswagen Group bought Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini, putting all three brands into their rightful place in both products and positioning. No marriages there, so no false pretense. Finally, Nissan and Renault got married in 1999. A successful marriage requires several rare elements in this atmosphere of gas fumes and power lust. But a successful marriage requires several rare elements in this atmosphere of gas fumes and power lust, the principle part being honesty. Daimler and Chrysler lied to each other. The heads of each unit, the product planners, and finance all presented their then-current and long-range forecasts to each other with less-than-forthright accuracy. Daimler was the far greater equal and no one from the Chrysler side enjoyed that. The cultures were entirely different, too, and little was done to bridge that gap. Which brings me back to the present overtures by Marchionne to GM. "There are varying degrees of hugs," Marchionne stated in the Automotive News piece. "I can hug you nicely, I can hug you tightly, I can hug you like a bear, I can really hug you." Seriously?
