Hi Jay! Hmmm. . .Dodge Dart. . .these were neat little cars, but as far as I can remember, (even though I was a WEE lad in 1967) the styling on these wasn't as interesting as, say the Plymouth Barracuda, which I remember seeing on the road, even at 3 years old! But, looking back, the styling is not bad. This little convertible would be a SUPER fun weekend car for someone! With that slant six!! YEAH! I bet the thing was a bullet with a 383! Always a fan of the Magnum 500 wheels! They looked good on anything! WYR. . .Going Ford Falcon here, as I actually had a 1967 Falcon! Wish I had kept it but it was kind of a project and I had to get rid of it. Did run and drive and had a 200 six with factory air conditioning!! Had TERRIBLE brakes, though, thought I was going into a lake when I first drove it! #2, that Demon is pretty slick, although the little slant six Dart is pretty cool too! I can;t decide, so I want both!

WYR's" Dart for both! I never really appreciated these Darts back in the day, but this 67 does have nice styling. Okay, here's my Dart story, which is actually an Oldsmobile story but the Dart takes me back there: I've probably told you this before, so forgive my digress: Grandma wanted to get a new 64 Dodge Dart, and she seemed to usually get her way most times, but Grandpa was the driver in the family (after Grandma rolled her Model A) and Grandpa liked big cars, so he wasn't having any of that Dodge Dart stuff, instead buying a used 62 Olds Super 88 with the "Ultra Hi-compression 394 Skyrocket" engine. It was his last car and we "inherited" it after he passed, and by the time I got my license, it was an old junker that I in no way wanted to be seen in, but damn, that car was still a runner and was a blast to drive!! And it still smelled like Grandpa's cigars inside! I loved that car and I still want a 62 Olds! (Okay, I rambled, sorry)

1967 was a total restyle. There is no relationship to the 1966 model. There's the 1963 - 66 generation and the 1967-76 generation. In my opinion, the 1967 restyle is a huge improvement over the previous generation. They only made convertibles in 1967 and 1968. There may have been one offered in 1969, but definitely not in 1970 or later.
An everyman hotrod - I love it. I had a friend whose family car was an early 70s Dart with a slant 6 in a dark green paint color. It was considered a compact car at the time but seems huge in comparison to compact cars now. 🤣 My wife's friend owned a 72 Dodge Dart in turquois paint color. They rusted out pretty quickly around the wheel wells because Kansas liked to salt their roads after freezing rain.

That’s quite an unusual engine configuration given the tricked-out looking exterior and the dual exhausts; I would have expected a “Commando” 273 or the 383. That’s an unusual 225 Slant Six. I’ve never seen one with an Edelbrock manifold like this one has. A truly great-sounding engine was the 273 with the Offenhauser manifold and the single rectangular exhaust “pipe”.
@61rampy653 ай бұрын
It looks like that car also had a split exhaust manifold. Not exactly headers, but better flowing than stock. That would explain the dual exhaust. I wonder what the exhaust note sounds like. It also looks like it might have a 2bbl carb. Those slant sixes were strong, and respond well to minor tweaks like that.

Until you lifted the hood I thought that was a cool car and the first time I'd seen a price which seemed reasonable at this dealership. Now I see why. 6 cyl. in a GT, unacceptable. I went to work for a company in 1974. The wife had a '67-'69 Dart GT coupe. It had a 383 V8, console automatic shifter, factory air conditioning and power windows. Not long after I went to work there, she traded it in on a 1974 mid-size Dodge station wagon that had the fake wood accents on the sides. It only had a 360 V8, no more hot-rodding. The owner drove a 1971 Dodge Coronet station wagon with a 383 V8. In 1976 he traded it in on a new 1976 Dodge Aspen station wagon which only had a 318 V8. lol

@@What.its.like. Yep. A compact car like that with a big V8! Maybe most of those Darts were 6 cyl., but in retrospect, who would want a 6 cyl. if you could have had a V8. Back when those cars were new, gas was cheap, so unless someone was a tightwad and would be happier with a 6 cyl. Rambler, I think that they would have chosen a V8. There were lot's of compact Darts and Valiants of this vintage with 318 V8's, but so many of these cars have gone by the wayside. Some cool one's survived like the convertible Dart GT in the "Angel" TV series. But a Dart GT convertible with a 6, totally unacceptable! I would have atleast dropped a 340 4 barrel V8 in it to replace the 6 or I would have been embarrassed. They can be brought into the current modern times by adding fuel injection and an overdrive 5 or 6-speed or an overdrive TorqueFlite. Maybe even drop in a modern Hemi with the Mercedes automatic? lol

The only issue I heard in this video is a blurring of the specifications and internal differences between the base 273 (180 h.p) and the HP 273 (235 H.P.) The base 273 was the first step up from a 225 slant 6. The H.P. 273 was Chrysler's smallest high performance V-8. The HP 273 was designed to go up against 289 four barrel Ford engines and 283 Chevrolet four barrel engines.Overall, this is a very nice video about a great car. My first car was a very plain, 225 Slant Six version of the 1967 Dart.

When I started driving in 81 there were 60's vintage Darts everywhere. They were a dime a dozen. Most had a little 6 cylinder and were so inexpensive that many were given as a 1st car to a high school kid. Those 6-cylinder models were incredibly slow, so parents felt safer giving them to a new driver. It was very rare in my area to see any of the more high-performance Darts. Nova Demon CCR??

Hi Jay. I've been enjoying your channel for a few years & to me, it never gets old. I'm also happy that you present models that most of us could actually afford. I've owned Savoy's, Phoenix's Nomads, Belvederes, Falcons etc. Recently, you mentioned a viewer who criticized your voice imitating a chorus of angels. My voice gets squeaky too! The only bad thing I can say about your voice is that it's constant. Most of us out here can read, You certainly do not need to read every line or measurement regarding the vehicles. We can see it fine & many of us can read faster than you can recite it. Is 'Newton Meter' just another inclusive measurement? I see Metric measurements as well. Please don't recite them! This is my sole critique, except that I'd love to hear your daughter say "TOODLE_LOO" once in a while.

Dashboard and styling it's the 67 over the 66 all the way. I like the later front and rear ends better but this was halfway there, and this basic body style lasted many years. GM and Ford were still hesitant to put certain engines in certain cars, but Chrysler was beginning to break that 'rule' about this time, resulting in some rare combinations which people ordered. With the top 383 and a limited-slip rear end this car would have been quick on the street. Most Darts I've seen had the Slant Six with it's reputation for ruggedness and long life along with better power than it's competing Ford and GM sixes. WYR it's the 67 Dart then The Demon. Who couldn't love the Demon or any other of the fast Chrysler cars of it's era?

WYR: For both scenarios, I would choose the 67 Dart GT. While I am a big fan of the first gen Falcons, I'm not as fond of the later 60s examples, at least, not as much as a Dart. As for the Chevy or the AMC, I just think they're a bit too plain to look at honestly. And while a '67 might not be as eye-catching as a Lancer, or as souped up as a Demon, I actually think that works to its advantage. That '67 has just enough embellishment to let you know it can be a sporty car - to really make it stand out - while still remaining relatively reserved. It just oozes class, if you ask me. While I tend to love early 60s Mopars, I really don't like the lines on their small cars of the early 60s. I'm not sure how to describe something like the Lancer or the Valiant other than to say they're a bit cartoonish. Of course, that's my own subjective take.
