This 1968 Hemi Dart Is The Strangest Ever!
While every exterior element of this 1968 Dodge Dart GTS makes it completely worthy for the pages of Mopar Muscle magazine, it is the things which are largely hidden from view that put it over the top. No, we’re not talking about the mint interior. No, we’re not talking about the fully painted, detailed, and amazing undercarriage of the car. We’re talking about the engine. This is a 1968 Dart with a Hemi in it, and before you start to flip the page because you’ve seen plenty of them, this is a 1968 Dart with a first-generation Hemi. The little 331 has been poked out to 342 cubes, and it is nestled between the stock fenders and under the stock hood. That got your attention, didn’t it? It sure got ours. How does this happen, why does this happen? Stick with us and find out.

cool
I had a 67 GTS. With a 426 Wedge, and 456 gears
nice gear ratio. I had a 70 roadrunner super stock with 488 dana rear. Pavement eaters
saw one of these with a 383 never a 426
Mine came with a 383 , but I traded it for a 65 Fury 426 wedge. Bolted right in
my cousin has a 19′ boat with a 426 wedge in it…..
The 1968 Hemi Dart was a factory race car, it had huge rear fender well openings, steel wheels, these cars came in primer, there were stickers in different locations on the car stating, “This vehicle is not intended for public highway or roadway use.” And these cars were sold without titles, and the price tag in 1968 was about $2,600 and today it’s worth about $ 80,000
wonder how many people got them registered someway to run on the street??
As I said the 1968 Hemi Dart was a factory race car but it was available to the general public, these cars came from the factory with about 800 HP and there was about 80 of them made, a few years ago I was reading an article about a guy that has one and he got his registered. In 1968 Plymouth had a HEMI Barracuda factory race car, same set up same deal and I believe that there was about 83 made
Also the hood and front fenders were acid-dipped
On the 1968 Hemi Dart I believe that the front fenders and hood were fiberglass
Very nice!!
Nice
