This is my husband's car. Sadly, he passed away recently, and I was not aware of this video. Being able to see him healthy and happy brings tears to my eyes. We miss him terribly. Thank you Lou for giving Steve the opportunity to proudly talk about and show off his pride and joy! Thank you too for all the awesome comments from so many viewers!

[@loucostabile]

[@maryannszabadics5273]

@@dougritchie4625 Thank you for your kind words. It's going to be difficult when it comes time to sell it.

[@martentrudeau6948]

What a fantastic little car that is a sleeper, not flashy, not fancy, but it's understated with simple clean lines, a quality MOPAR V8, factory AC, impeccable interior in a dependable well engineered package, great car Lou.

[@loucostabile]

Glad to read you enjoy this one Marten :-)

[@infinityplayz-i9m]

That car is just like one I bought from my grandmother when I was 22. Hers was a GT and had a perfect white bucket seat interior. Those 273 high performance motors had solid lifters from the factory! That car would scream. I would love to have it now .

My parents bought me a used 67 Dart GT w/225 slant 6 when I graduated high school. No AC or power brakes, wish I had it now.

[@20alphabet]

Very neat cars for sure.

[@davethompson3140]

You see so many Darts of this era in various stages of restoration but seldomly see them in this condition (especially with the 4-barrel 273 with factory air). Who would ever think we would be appreciative of a Dodge Dart! Boy, how things change.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Dave, Happy to read you enjoy the condition of this car :-) Lou

[@Fred_NaughTy]

Any old Mopar V8 sounds great ! Thanks as always Lou for sharing. I need to make it to Carlisle someday

[@loucostabile]

Hi Fred NaughT, Glad you enjoy this one, and if you see me there, make sure you say hello :-) You're welcome, Lou

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

Wow! Very nice, very clean, and very well documented, even down to the gas fill ups! No wonder Steve is smiling. I'd be smiling, too! Thanks for sharing this one w/us, Lou!

[@loucostabile]

Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Always enjoy a "Wow!" :-) You're right, for a car that was not a "Hemi Car" or Daytona or Superbird, this car has had wonderful Care Takers, Lou

[@tippey2011]

What a great little Dart! I love the owner of this one he was cool. The engine sound was awesome sounded very healthy! Love the white with that interior. He has a neat little car there! Thanks Lou!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Steve Flad, Happy to read this Dart "hit the bulls eye" :-) You're welcome, Lou

[@loucostabile]

Hi Kevin, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) Lou

[@wickedfirefly13]

Nice Dodge. Much roomier in the trunk n interior than I'd expected. The seats look way roomy. Another one with a great lookin engine. Very deep satisfying sound. My favorite part of the this Dart is the moon hubs, they kinda look like big balls, like those reflective ones in gardens. Very cool! Love the vid, thanks

[@loucostabile]

Hi WickedFireFly13, You're attention to detail is wonderful :-) Please to read what you see! Thank you for commenting, and you're welcome, Lou

[@rightlanehog3151]

Fascinating to learn they made Darts in California.

[@loucostabile]

Good to know.

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Hey Lou. Another awesome video! Awesome looking 67 Dodge Dart. It's fun to listen to owners talk about their experience with their car. :)

[@loucostabile]

Hey Jason, Glad you enjoy this "awesome" looking Dodge :-) Lou

[@bdogjr7779]

Awesome Lou《☆》I spent about 1-1/2 hours in a junk yard cutting off 2 exhaust resonator tips with a hack saw from a 68 Dart back in 77 for My 68 Barracuda. They totally change the exhaust note ☻

[@loucostabile]

Hi BDOG JR, Good times, good times :-) Thank you for sharing, Lou

[@billyfoster3223]

Thanks for this video, Lou. Great story! Those little 273 V-8's could go! Like them best in the 65-66 Barracuda! Cheers!😁🔧🛠️

[@loucostabile]

You're welcome Billy. Thank you for viewing and sharing. Cheers!

[@randytim512]

I remember being in 7th grade when this car came out and my Earth Science teacher bought the 1967 Dart and I thought it looked so much nicer than my Dad's 1963 Dodge Dart. I went home and excitedly told my Dad about the new design and how we needed to get one, but he didn't. P.S. He waited until 1968 and bought a 327 Chevy Malibu which eventually became my first car.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Randy Tompkins, Glad to read this car / video brought back memories of your Teachers car. Thank you for viewing and sharing your story :-) Lou

[@markg7030]

Mine was the same year, in Plum crazy Purple. I had the 225 slant 6.Vacuum powered windshield wipers.....they stall out at an intersection as the vacuum decreased :) I wonder the value today ? $35,000 ? Purely a guess, I have no Idea.

[@20alphabet]

Not that rare, 270s were nothing special. But the 273 engine was a screamer if tuned properly. In fact, Smokey Yunick loved this engine. Very nice car altogether.

[@loucostabile]

Hi 20alphabet, Good detail to know on the 273 engine :-) Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Lou

[@20alphabet]

Yeah, the 270 nomenclature wasn't extremely descriptive of any trim or performance option. In fact, I recall an old man in the 1970s with a 1965 Dart station wagon with the 270 badge which had a slant six engine. There was also a lady who worked at the gas station up the road with a 1965 (I think) Dart 2 door with the same 270 designation.

[@loucostabile]

Sounds like this one brings back nice memories :-)

[@martinliehs2513]

"Say, Smokey" Smokey Yunick of Popular Science in the '70's. Haven't seen that name in years.

[@20alphabet]

Martin Liehs He died a few years back.

[@thegarbear05]

My uncle love him

[@loucostabile]

:-)

[@strattuner]

the car is rare due to gt status and having a 273 commando with air,the ultimate,run the valves often,my 65 cuda demanded it,they were always out of spec,just like a slant,its necessary

Back in the Day, Nice " Sleeper", W/ Dog Dish Caps,Most Would Think It Might Be V,or Slant 6.More H.p. Than Ford's SB ,W/ Less Cubic Inches@ 235 h.p. Ford 289 That Was Then Popular in the Mustangs & Merc.Cyclones ,SB,A Code,4 Barrel, Was Little Less@225 h.p.Very Fine,Some Might Think "Plain Jane" Dodge,Till It Pulled Away Quickly @ Red Lites.

[@enzorodrigues6435]

Is this the original interior?

[@loucostabile]

I think so.

[@tonichecavalari5956]

I have one just like it . The interior is the same except for the "mopar" Logos within the inside of the car. Those were added to the upholstery. Mine black ' with exact style front bench seat.

[@thegarbear05]

Original but repolstered

[@ImTheDaveman]

It doesn't thrill me at all - but still., I admire the car. Easily worthy of a thumbs up. It's still a piece of history and that in itself almost always has a cool factor for me.

[@loucostabile]

Hi ImTheDaveman, "worthy of a thumbs up" good enough for me :-) Lou

[@ragimundvonwallat8961]

just my personall taste but every cars always look better in white =)
