1967 witnessed the introduction of the fourth-generation Dart, and Dodge rolled out several notable improvements, including in terms of styling.
The engine department received several tweaks, but Dodge embraced a similar approach as for the previous model years and offered the Dart with a wide range of choices.

Customers could still order the car with six-cylinder units and V8s, with Dodge eventually adding even more powerful options throughout this new generation. The 426 Hemi made its way to the Dart, too, launching in 1968 with an impressive power rating of 425 horsepower.

The 1967 Dart that you see in these photos is an incredible time capsule that sports an amazing shape with an unexpected number on the odometer.

eBay seller mrcharlessss says the vehicle has never seen the winter, as it's been parked inside from the moment it rolled off the assembly lines. It explains the great condition, as the metal looks good for a car this old. The rust isn't by any means a concern on this Dart, and while you're still recommended to put it on a lift and inspect every inch of the undersides, I don't think you'll find anything to make you walk away.

The owner admits the Dart exhibits a "small imperfection on the passenger fender," but the car is otherwise "very clean." It spent 20 years in storage before emerging as a surprising survivor, and after proper maintenance that involved installing new brakes, new shocks, new tires, and other smaller tweaks, it's ready for the road in tip-top shape.

It's unclear how original the car continues to be, but the 225 six-cylinder engine under the hood is the factory mill installed by Dodge in 1967. The engine runs and drives, but the best thing about it is the mileage.

Most people would walk away when hearing about a six-cylinder engine, but the Dart has just 19,000 miles on the clock. It's almost a new car, and with the right occasional touches, it can become a museum-grade collectible worth a small fortune.

The Dart is currently in Canada but was born in the United States, so it's ready to return to its home country if it finds a new owner. It comes with a $12,800 price tag, but the owner also enabled the Make Offer button if buyers have another deal in mind.

Unfortunately, it's a bit difficult to see this Dart in person, considering it's not located in the States, but you can contact the seller and ask all the questions you want to get a more thorough look at what looks to be a different kind of survivor. If you're in Canada, you should be able to drive it home on its wheels.
