From 1963 to 1976, the Dodge Dart evolved from a compact pioneer to a muscle car marvel. Initially flaunting a slant six engine—perfect for impressing neighbors with its 101 hp—Dart soon beefed up with V8 options, like the 340 cu in powerhouse. By ’69, models like the Swinger and GTS flaunted speed, while the ’70s ushered in groovy names like Dart Demon. Despite design tweaks and bumper transformations, Dart’s charm remained as solid as its body frame—until it bowed out in ’76, leaving behind a legacy of style and speed.
