In 1968, Dodge made several engine changes to the Dart lineup, replacing the optional 273ci (4.5-liter) small-block V8 2-barrel with the 318ci (5.2-liter) 2-barrel, thus offering a substantial power increase from 180 hp to 230 hp.
The 318 is the engine powering the Dodge Dart GT we have here as well, with this 1968 all-original model recently found in a barn now ready for a new adventure.

The car comes in unrestored condition, and you can easily tell by simply looking at the photos in the gallery and the video embedded below. Painted in the factory-applied MM1 Turbine Bronze finish with a black top and interior, this Dart GT was born as an Ohio car but landed in Indiana back in 2012.

It’s pretty clear the car has seen better days, but on the other hand, there’s nothing that can’t be fixed with a thorough restoration process. There’s some rust, that’s true, but with the proper fixes, this Dart should be easily turned into the looker it was 53 years ago.

The engine starts and runs, and the video embedded below is living proof there’s no sign of smoke or anything like that. So, in theory, the engine is ready to rock, only that the Dart needs fixes in other areas, such as the braking system. The owner warns the car comes without any brakes, so while it drives, you can’t get it on a public road just yet.

The lights, the gauges, and everything else work correctly, and the car still comes with most of the parts, including the bucket seats and the factory console. And what’s more, you’re also getting the original keys and broadcast sheet should you decide to purchase the car.

Listed on eBay by seller vintagentleman, this Dart GT can be yours today for only $4,700. The car is parked in Indiana if you want to check it out in person.
