1968 Dodge Dart

The 1968 Dodge Dart occupies a special place in Mopar history. This was the year Dodge turned its compact A-body into a genuine street fighter, introducing the big-block 383-powered GTS and unleashing the legendary Hemi Dart Super Stock racers. A factory 440 Dart would not arrive until 1969, making this GT's 440 conversion a distinctive take on Dodge's lightweight muscle-car formula. Historical references, 1968 Dart specifications Lift the hood and the reason for all the excitement becomes obvious. A 440-cubic-inch big-block V8 fills the engine bay, topped by an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, Holley carburetor, Mopar Performance air cleaner, and matching valve covers.
