1968 Dodge Dart GTS

T he year was 1968, Chevrolet’s line of Super Sport cars was selling well and Dodge needed something that would capture the attention of performance-minded consumers. The “Scat Pack” came to the rescue, a mix of pavement pounders that included the Dart GTS with the standard 340 cubic inch engine or the optional 383. Others models in the pack were the Coronet R/T and Charger R/T.

In the case of the Dart GTS, however, bigger may not necessarily have been better. The 340 model was incredibly quick and perhaps more of a sleeper than the Nova SS of the time. And in the right hands, a 340 driven in anger could easily outrun its larger displacement brother, which had some weight issues.

On the other hand, Dodge Dart GTS models equipped with the 383 engine were a bit of a rarity in ’68, which helps make them highly collectible in today’s world. The 383 model, which was a popular choice among Mopar’s larger muscle cars, produced about 335 horsepower and 425 foot-pounds of torque at about 3,200 rpm. Even rarer were the GTS models equipped with 440 Magnum engines. About 43 of those were produced.

Expect to pay a premium for a GTS 383, like the one shown here. But for those who can’t locate that model, rest assured you won’t be sorry with the GTS in its 340 format. All GTS models came with bucket seats, tail stripes and fake hood vents. Wonderful examples of the Dart GTS 383 can fetch anywhere from $40,000 to $80,000, based on history and build.
