HELLO, UP FOR AUCTION IS AN ALL NUMBERS MATCHING 1967 DODGE DART GTS 383 BARN FIND WITH 88,000 ORIGINAL MILES. THIS 1ST YEAR LOW PRODUCTION GTS WAS DODGE DIVISION'S ANSWER TO THE MUSCLECAR WARS BY SHOEHORNING THE HIGH PERFORMANCE BIG BLOCK 383 MAGNUM INTO THE LIGHTWEIGHT MOPAR A BODY TO CREATE ONE OF THE RAREST PERFORMANCE SLEEPERS TO COME OUT OF DETROIT FOR 1967! WITH PRODUCTION OF 457 BIG BLOCK ONLY GTS DARTS, THIS UNMOLESTED ORIGINAL BARN FIND HAS BEEN IN STORAGE SINCE 1993. THE LOW ORIGINAL MILES CAR SHOWS 88,827 MILES ON THE ODOMETER THAT IS FURTHER DOCUMENTED BY THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE INSPECTION STICKER WRITTEN WITH 88,455 MILES AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION, INDICATING ONLY 372 MILES OF DRIVING SINCE JULY 1992. AS THE PICTURES SHOW, THIS CAR IS A VIRTUAL TIME CAPSULE OF ORIGINAL COMPONENTS INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL C383 SUFFIX CODED BIG BLOCK, MANDATORY FRONT DISC BRAKES AND PERFORMANCE MANUAL STEERING, TORQUE FLIGHT AUTOMATIC, AND SURE GRIP 8 3/4 LIMITED SLIP REAR. INSIDE THE CAR IS EQUALLY PERFORMANCE OPTIONED WITH FACTORY BLACK BUCKET SEATS, CONSOLE WITH FACTORY TACH AND THE WELL PRESERVED 3 SPOKE WOOD SPORT WHEEL. ALL OF THESE OPTIONS ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL COLOR PP1 BRIGHT RED EXTERIOR AND VINYL TOP ARE FULLY DOCUMENTED ON THE FACTORY BUILD BROADCAST SHEET INCLUDED WITH THIS AUCTION. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST UNTOUCHED FACTORY ORIGINAL MOPARS YOU WILL ENCOUNTER FROM THE DISC BRAKE SPECIFIC STEEL WHEELS AND HUBCAPS, TO AN INTERIOR WITH AN UNCUT AM RADIO DASH, TO THE ENGINE BAY WITH ORIGINAL AIRCLEANER, GTS SPECIFIC EXHAUST MANIFOLDS AND EVEN DOWN TO THE ORIGINAL SPARK PLUG WIRE SECURING LOOMS. THIS IS A RESTORATION PROJECT CAR WILL NEED MECHANICAL, SAFETY, BODY AND COSMETIC RECONDITIONING OR RESTORATION AS WOULD BE EXPECTED FOR A 50 YEAR OLD CAR. THE ENGINE APPEARS TO BE IN COMPLETELY STOCK CONDITION. WITH A NEW SET OF IGNITION POINTS I WAS EASILY ABLE TO START THE ENGINE BRIEFLY WITH THE KEY BY ADDING FUEL TO THE CARBURETOR, BUT WOULD EXPECT THE NEED TO SERVICE OR REPLACE FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS TO MAKE THE CAR RUN. WHILE I HAD THE BATTERY IN THE CAR I NOTICED THAT MOST OF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WERE OPERATIONAL INCLUDING HEADLIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS AND WIPERS. I HAVE NO OTHER KNOWLEDGE BEYOND THIS. THE BODY WILL NEED RESTORATION BUT, AS THE PICTURES SHOW, IS MUCH MORE SOLID THAN MOST UNRESTORED CARS. THE FRAME RAILS APPEAR SOLID, THE FLOOR AND TRUNK ARE MOSTLY SOLID NEEDING SOME REPAIR, THOUGH THE DRIVERS FLOOR PAN NEEDS REPLACED. THE BOTTOM OF THE 1/4 PANELS AND FENDERS NEED TYPICAL REPAIR. THE HEADLINER NEEDS REPLACED. THE DOORS APPEAR VERY SOLID. OVERALL THIS CAR COULD BE MADE INTO A DRIVER OR PATINA CAR TO RESTORE AS YOU DRIVE OR FULLY RESTORE NOW TO ITS ORIGINAL STREET PERFORMANCE GLORY. THE 1967 DART GTS 383 IS A RARE AND DESIRABLE ORIGINAL MUSCLECAR WITH VERY LOW 1ST YEAR PRODUCTION NUMBERS. ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL GTS REGISTRY, OF THE 457 CARS PRODUCED ONLY 43 ARE KNOWN ARE TO EXIST WITHIN THE REGISTRY, MAKING THIS THE 44TH CAR DOCUMENTED TO STILL EXIST.
