1969 Dodge Dart Gts Convertible 2-door 340ci on 2040-cars
Houghton Lake, Michigan, United States
On Feb-01-14 at 10:33:50 PST, seller added the following information: 1 of 417 made (including the 50 export). 340-4bbl, 727 auto, all matching numbers. Total restoration in 2004. Most Every nut, bolt, washer either replaced or redone. I'm the 3rd owner. Car is originally from mid Ohio. The 1st and 2nd owners were best friends, so I have the complete history on the car, including the original window sticker and broadcast sheet. I've owned it since March 1995. I had a 68 Dart 170/6 in high school and fell in love with the 69 GTS then. I started looking for a 69 GTS convertible in 1987, wanting a white top, white interior and white stripe. I didn't care what the body color was as long as I got my white. It took about 8 years for a white top/interior to come up for sale. Currently has about 121,000 miles. Engine was rebuilt to stock by Muscle Motors. They did go .030 over and did some head/valve work. Original exhaust manifolds, but a 2 1/2" exhaust. The only original sheet metal on it now is the hood and the doors. Everything was shot. After taking the car down, the body man called me, had me look at it, and asked me, "Am I sure I want to go thru with this on this bad of a car?" By this time, I knew what I had, being all matching #s and as rare as it is, I figured, let's do it! The front fenders and truck lid came from a rust-free California 6 cyl Dart. The rear quarters are reproduction. I did the complete disassembly and re-assembly, but farmed out the body/paint and rebuilding of engine and trans. I even bought a buffer to buff all the stainless trim myself. The front grille and wheel covers are original and were restored by Totally Auto in PA. They told me I have the 'most expensive set of wheel covers in the country'. It was invited to and shown at the 2007 Carlisle All-Chrysler Nationals held in Carlisle, PA. It was awarded 3rd Place at Autorama 2008 - Detroit Michigan It was invited to the Willistead Classic Concours d'Elegance in Windsor Canada on August 24th 2008. It was in the July 2009 edition of MuscleCar Enthusiast, (4 page article)

2013 Dodge Challenger R/T Redline revs into Chicago
Fri, 01 Feb 2013When Dodge released the Challenger Rallye Redline last year, it brought a new dimension of styling to the car's classic muscle car lines, but it was only available in V6 form lacking the oomph to back up its sinister appearance. To remedy that situation, Dodge is unveiling the Challenger R/T Redline, powered by a Hemi V8 engine, at the Chicago Auto Show.
Other than the extra cylinders, most of the R/T's Redline package carries over from the Rallye model including the custom-look 20-inch black chrome wheels with red paint accents, but the R/T version of the package gets more of a retro look to the side stripes with graphite graphics featuring Redline lettering. Cars equipped with the six-speed manual transmission will get a performance-tuned, low-restriction exhaust allowing the engine to produce 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque; cars with the five-speed auto are rated at 372 hp and 400 lb-ft, but they do offer a bright chrome Mopar t-handle shifter and steering wheel paddle shifters.
The R/T Redline Group is offered only on cars painted in Billet Silver, Granite Crystal, Bright White and Pitch Black, and it adds just $1,995 to the MSRP of the Challenger R/T (starting at $31,990) and the Challenger R/T Plus (starting at $33,990), which adds features like Nappa leather and Boston Acoustics speakers.
Travis Pastrana signs with Dodge for another year, brings partner Bryce Menzies [w/video]
Sun, 14 Apr 2013Dodge and SRT Motorsports announced that the Dodge Dart will be returning for its sophomore season of the Global Rallycross Championship with a two-car team fielded by Pastrana Racing. Travis Pastrana drove his GRC Dart to victory lane in the fourth race of the car's inaugural season, and his race team is looking for even more success with the addition of off-road racer Bryce Menzies behind the wheel of the second car.
The 2013 GRC season kicks off on April 21 in Brazil with plenty of dirt-spewing, ramp-jumping action. Scroll down for a video from the cars' main sponsor, Red Bull, and a press release from Chrysler.
Junkyard Gem: 1992 Dodge Shadow America
Tue, Aug 2 2016A quarter-century ago, most Americans looking for a cheap transportation appliance went for cars like the miserably-stripped-down-but-bulletproof Toyota Tercel or the feature-laden-but-reliability-challenged Hyundai Excel. Chrysler, having just discontinued the elderly "Omnirizon" platform, took the Dodge Shadow and its Plymouth sibling, the Sundance and offered a car that was bigger, more powerful, and better-equipped than just about anything else for the price: the America! These cars depreciated hard and nearly all were crushed a decade ago, so sightings are extremely rare today. Here's one that I found in a Northern California self-service yard. This one still had windshield paperwork indicating that it was an insurance-company auction car (probably totaled in a fender-bender that caused $200 worth of damage) and that it was a runner at the time it got junked. Such is the fate of 24-year-old economy cars in rough shape. The Shadow was a member of the many-branched K-Car family tree, and the Shadow America came with the same 2.2-liter straight-4 engine that powered millions of Caravans, Daytonas, New Yorkers, and Lasers. You got more torque than the competition, plus a driver's-side airbag instead of the maddening automatic seat belts found in other low-priced cars of 1992. Of course, the paint tended to peel off within a few years and the build quality of the Shadow was hit-or-miss, but these cars were way nicer to drive than, say, a Tercel EZ or Subaru Justy.
