1967 Dodge Dart Pro-touring Restomod on 2040-cars

Up for sale is one of the finest ’67 Dodge Darts you will ever find.  This vehicle has well over 2,000 hours invested in the mockup, body & paint, wiring, assembly and road testing.  As you can see from the photos, the details reflect the time spent in making the car a well-balanced and well engineered road machine.  This vehicle was built in order to show the craftsmanship and attention to detail available at Fast Freddie’s Rod Shop in Eau Claire, WI as well as to showcase some of the latest components available in the automotive aftermarket.  This has been the display vehicle at Fast Freddie’s for the last year two years and now it’s time for someone else to enjoy and appreciate this incredible machine. 

This car was built to be driven from coast to coast in modern comfort with A/C, power rack & pinion steering, comfortable bucket seats, 4-wheel disc brakes, a hush-matted interior and a killer audio system.  Although the engine dyno’d at 555 HP and 650 lb./ft. of torque, it still runs on 92 octane pump gas and backed by a Keisler-built Tremec TKO 600 5-speed, it will cruise 65 mph @ 2,000 RPM, making it the ultimate Power Tour car.

Pictures do not do the body & paint finish justice, but you can get an idea of how flat the panels are and how well everything lines up.  This is a testament to all the time spent mocking up the panels, drivetrain, and steering & suspension to ensure a perfect, well engineered fit after paint.  Nearly 500 hours alone were spent in the engine bay smoothing the firewall, hiding A/C lines, routing wiring and making all the pieces look like they belong together.
