Dodge redesigned the Dart compact in 1967, a move that helped boost sales for a car that would remain in production for nearly another decade. The GT continued as the sporty model (with the GTS being the performance iteration). Per the VIN, this rare 1967 GT convertible came with a 273 cubic inch V8 from the factory, but has since been restored and upgraded to the popular 340. Located with a dealer in Gladstone, Oregon, this blue beauty is available here on craigslist where the take-home price is $42,500.

Whether numbers matching or not, this ’67 GT was part of an elite crew when assembled. Dodge saw fit to only assemble 1,626 V8-equipped GT convertibles that year (per the seller). Standard in the GT was a Slant-Six while the hotter GTS editions were treated to 383s. If the original 273 had a 2-barrel carburetor, it would have been rated at 180 hp (a 4-barrel was good for 235). The 1968 model year was the first for the 340, and it was set at 275 horses prior to detuning in 1972-73.

As best as we can tell, this Dodge has been restored from head to toe, including the chrome trim. We assume Light Blue Poly is the original color, and the respray looks excellent. A bucket seat interior is part of the GT mystique, adding to the muscle car qualities of the smaller Dart. To help pass the miles you’ll want to put on the Mopar, a custom stereo has been added below the dash.

This beauty sports factory Rallye wheels, though I don’t know if they were offered on a 1967 Dart. The seller mentions nothing that the ragtop needs, so we assume it’s turnkey and ready for weekend cruises, Cars & Coffee, and traffic light standoffs. Considering that the Dodge has a later engine, is the seller’s asking price the correct monetary territory? Hats off to “Curvette” for another bodacious tip!
