Whither 1966 D Darts for Stock

treessavoy · 03-02-2009, 01:58 AM

In 1966 Chrysler decided to compete in D/S with the D/Dart, they aimed the car at the 271 Mustangs and Fairlane 500's. The car was built for "stock" and "stock" only not SS.

Many went to factory racers and some were sold to private racers. Dodge told the NHRA that they made 50...how many is still under debate but at that time you had to have built 50 of anything even to get it into SS.

Today it would make a fun car but would give up too many inches to be competitive.

BTW there is a guy down here in FL that has two of them, he drives one the street and has the other for sale...$25,000.00. It has a frozen engine, manifold and carb is gone as are the headers, every panel on the car needs replacement....it was outside in a Oklahoma hail storm...he's going to fix it up.
