1969 Dodge Dart 440

[@jeffring1222]

Stunningly beautiful, love the color and the cragar wheels are gorgeous.

[@whicker59]

Those SS Cragar mags were THE PRETTIEST mag wheel n that era. When i see the expensive ugly mag wheels of today on cars, I just SMH and think these whippersnappers don't know what pretty wheels r, especially the dopeheads riding around on 20" tires with effectively no sidewall (I bet they ride like a buckboard wagon).

[@whicker59]

THAT is one gorgeous little rare muscle car...... From a 50s-60s GM guy.

They were underrated muscle cars. Especially with big block motors. That's one sharp DART.👍🏁

My first car was a ‘69 Dart Swinger, 340 4bbl. Competition Orange w/ the black tail stripe, black vinyl roof and black interior. Such great memories! Thanks for posting this!!

[@HITEKSTRANGER]

Wow that would have been a generous scoop of heaven .

[@daniellobo1680]

Purrs like a kitten but roars like a lion when that throttle opens up👌👍

[@racehemi426425]

Awesome wheels. Takes me right back to the 70s. And that is the best look. The 70s

[@johnny_6T8]

Really digging that mellow idle! Very nice piece there!

[@jayjaynella4539]

That engine is just waiting for the pedal to be pushed down and unlock the full beauty of that engine and gearbox. This is a beautiful car, and look at the simplicity of that engine and the amount of room to work on it. We had a few of those 440 equipped cars back in the mid 70s on to the mid 80s. Lots of power and smoothness made for great cruising down the road.

[@gshock3092]

Love the color!

[@samuelrodriguez9673]

This is my favorite dart year and boy does it look awesome the prettiest style from this type of car

[@floydthompson8668]

When I was a teen, we could find these for sale under 500 dollars.

[@shannonreas9393]

That's crazy! Nobody thought they would be what they are today. Awesome Car.

[@robertsargent4600]

Not anymore you won't i paid 300 dollars for my 65 coronet

[@Saint_Ann]

I was twenty-five in 1978, and think of all the cool cars I could have purchased cheap if I had the money, a place to store them, and the foresight to know they would be valuable.

[@floydthompson8668]

@@Saint_Ann I feel exactly the same! I still kick my butt over the few gems I had, but too young & ignorant to realize I had a few diamonds in the rough.

[@cooldinaz7883]

We paid like $350 for ours in 88. We should have appreciated more.

[@penboyasgod6103]

I have a love for the '69 Dart --- I owned a pale yellow/black interior '69 _Western Sport Special_ [nothing like this one, mine was a 225 Slant-6] but it took me to San Francisco and back.

Love the color…nice job

Old school cool ... the motor looks cleaner than most people's kitchen stove

Beautiful car

I can smell the paint. Beautiful

[@walterbatman7949]

Beautiful absolutely beautiful

[@paulwhite6250]

Big block engine in a light weight car equals speed and has been used for decades. I had a 69 Dart Swinger with a 340 that had more traction and torque than what my competitors thought. It just lacked horsepower so the big block cars would pass me by before the finish line….if they could get there quick enough.

[@easygoing2479]

That car (and restoration thereof) is beautiful. The flawless paint looks to have a small amount of orange peel which _really_ gives it a true factory look. Accurate details abound; I would be so proud to have that car rumbling in my driveway. But I don't have that car - and I don't have a driveway!

[@danieldowning7105]

Ohh, my 1st car was IDENTICAL to this one, except for the trunk stripe & wheels, plus mine had a 340. SAME color; mostly the SAME specs! MAN, I wish I'd have kept that thing!!! :(

[@gaetanodetorrice5555]

Excellent 👍👍👍

[@williamweiss6128]

Good grief that's beautiful

[@stripervince1]

Rare and beautiful. Love it. Mopar muscle at its best. A true big block chevy killer

[@dougharlow6037]

Wow!! gorgeous, std brakes and stering. Thanks I had a 1968 GTS, 383, 4 spd. one off special ordered. I wish I could find it.

Sounds great and very professional restoration.-

Awesome job I'm doing a 68 Dart 340 right now

[@henrybourdon6712]

I am bringing one back from the grave as well. 69 fast back stroked 440 6 speed and Dana 60 CUDA. All black with red guts stinger 6 BBL hood with a red CUDA strip down it's sides. Save them all! Someone else can ride in a battery back at double or more the price. Almost owned a R.R. myself but i was a (real) hillbilly and knew nothing. My (still) friend wanted 500.00 bucks for a black 69 metal flake 383 auto with a line lock in stink bug mode and he told me all i had to do now was pay the tax's. I told him he can pay his tax's if he wants? now he did not want to sell it to me. Told him to keep it! I was an idiot. Young , Dumb and full of c.m Is what i was in 74. About a year later and discovering how the rest of my world works and found a 1967 yellow and black Z28 disguised as a RS/SS with a blown motor for 200.00 ,then found a 396 4 speed from a T-boned steak red Vette for 500.00 and stuck it in the 67 and drove it for years. Sold it to get married. Miss the days when even the special stuff was kind of common.

[@harmen-zu3sy]

I WANT this car ,I NEED this car !!!!

[@williamhudson3366]

My mom had a big Chrysler with a 440 ci. It would run out of numbers I could only imagine what that engine would do in that smaller car. Nice ride

[@HITEKSTRANGER]

It's perfect.

[@briandungan515]

If this is a original M code car it's the holy grail next to the LO23's

[@lonreinhart4580]

These were the cars my young yrs never seen a 440 pkg but the 340s screamed america is strong.needs some red white blue placard on it.whom ever has this one must be a proud american.

[@leosizemore-hm8jf]

I'd be happy with that 440 Magnum, as I would with the 426 Hemmi

[@paradiswest4395]

I love it when the engine itself weighs more then the rest of the car.

[@kenhmful]

Had a 1968 Dodge Dart, it was a 318. No drag car performance with the 318 engine, but it could burn tires and make a lot of smoke, top speed i dont know, i drove it past 120mph on public road, handling was good compared to my friends Mustang fastback, he didnt have the nerves to take it past 100mph. Used my dart as my daily driver, even in the winther and lots of snow. Live in the northern part of Norway, just 1 hour drive frome the North Cape. Wasnt great on snow, but it did ok when you learn to be easy on the trottle and trust the torque will get you moving on low rpm. A snowplower hit it when parked, and that was the end of my 68dart. Payd 18k norwegian krone for the car in 95, today you have to pay from 200k to above 300k norwegian krone for a good old dart.

Maybe put a camshaft in that makes it lumpier than a Prius and widen up those rear tires x2.

[@TheSchmed]

Love that concave rear window, probably $2000 to replace, if you can even find it. Let’s do a swap, 2002 Rolex “Coke” GMT Master for that ;)

It's a nice 440 Dart but not a GTS!

Beautiful! T5?

[@DavidMartin-ou2su]

[@onusgumboot5565]

Nice car. I was looking for cragar wheels for my '73 Swinger, but can't find them anywhere. The oddball 4 inch bolt pattern makes them rare, as far as I can tell. Do you have any suggestions about where to find them? Or were yours already on the car when you got it.

[@kimmorrison9169]

If that is a real factory 440 Dart ( not a clone) you’ve got a valuable car there in beautiful shape. Dodge did not make many of these little nose heavy beasts in ‘69. The Six Pack Super Bees/ Roadrunners were the big news later in ‘69. The 340 Dart Swingers were cheap speed at the time.

[@garybishop4030]

About 600 made through Hurst at the time. Very valuable car if original

[@armandchargois5733]

Beautiful car…is this car for sale/trade?

[@fredbates7693]

I wonder if Mr. Norm in LA ordered some of these COPO? I always thought, maybe wrongly, that lumpy cammed big v8s had slow loping idols, well this one seems to be, I don't know, doing 1500 RPM+? Maybe it's the RPM they need to do get vacuum pressure - OK, I don't know what I'm talking about - any ideas?

[@hansgruber650]

Very nice Craig,any other vids of it loping, still on fast idle?

[@craigkelley4903]

Probably. Just pulled out of garage for pics. Very mild cam that doesnt have a big lope at all. Thats the only video i have at this time.

[@davidbolyard3065]

schwiinnngggg

[@stevenrains8490]

Where is the rear finish panel ? No black-out behind the grill just doesn't look right.

[@SamsterOne]

I can tell it's not a GTS...no rear panel, no GTS badging on inside door panels, no single chrome strip below door. VIN will prove such!

[@jeffscott8323]

Mustang eater and better looking car

[@dcb805]

Is this a numbers matching car,I only remember the 383 as the largest displacement engine

[@garybishop4030]

They made about 600 through Hurst at the time. All auto, it's quite valuable if it's original

[@brianbethune862]

Am I in thinking that the dodge dart did not come from the factory with a 440? And by the way, your car looks perfect.

[@theinsaneshecklador6598]

You could get a Dart GTS with a 440 but they are pretty rare. Real 440 Darts have an "M" in the 5 position of their VIN tag and are often nicknamed "M-code."

[@thomasglorius5730]

the y did 440
