@Driver Interviews with Bobby Fazio I can't say with any certainty. I've never seen a 4spd 440 dart. 383 4spd cars were pretty common. Hurst built cars were custom. Zero would be my best guess, but never say never. The 69 440 darts were well documented. 640 were built, all autos. "GTS registry" is the best readily accessible source.
Been Ford all my life ,but these are in a special place in my heart .I knew a man had a gts dart ,I think Mr.Norm ,it was special ordered w/440 ,he raced it .I fell in love with it.yours is a beautiful car .I'm 71 still have mustangs ,early 65 pro-street ,thanks for sharing GOD bless.
Super straight body work,, I've been doing restorations for 30 plus year's,, this Dart was never that straight even when new,,, many hours of blocking, and prep work!😊💯👍👌
Beautiful car! Regarding the media dump. I’m not a fan of media blasting for that and other reasons. Pros and cons obviously with any method but that stuff gets everywhere and is really difficult to get completely out of the hidden nooks and crannies.
@@driverinterviews Not a body guy but very familiar with the process having done a couple myself. Choice of media used, as well as the shop and operator makes a difference. Spinning on a rotisserie and blowing out with plenty of compressed air and extended nozzles afterwards helps too. You don’t want media coming out in the paint both. 👍🏻
That's a phenomenal Dart!!!!👍 Check out my 1968 Barracuda fastback powered by a 512 stroker, backed by an A833 4 speed manual. I think you'll approve. 👌
Dodge had Hurst install 440 engines into a limited number of Darts especially for Grand Spaulding Dodge. All were automatics and all had an M code in the VIN to denote the 440 engine. The cars were built to qualify them for super stock class racing, similar to the '68 Hemi Darts, but as we know those were HEAVILY modified. The '68 440 cars were basically stock other than the engine/trans conversion and sold as GSS cars as was typical for Grand Spaulding performance cars. In 1969 the factory built the M-code Darts themselves and they were sold as GTS cars.
Gorgeous '68, my favorite, totally BA ride!
Absolutely beautiful car. I hope to see this car sometime in the northwest again
Beautiful car!😎
Always nice to see family involved in racing!
Drop dead gorgeous car. Thanks Bobby.
Nice product!!
Beautiful Dart. Great video. Thanks, Bobby
Super nice. The numbers spoke about, 48 built at Hurst for Dodge, order by Grand Spauling in Chicago. The G-force trans makes it even better.
Thank you! Where can I find out how many auto and stick?

Absolutely stunning!
I'm an old Mopar Super Stock Duster racer from the 70s. Your car is beautiful! Good luck! Glad to see you're in Ohio now.
Raced with Caleb in Div 6, one of the nicest families you'll ever meet.
Absolutely!
GORGEOUS CAR!

That is crazy! Do you do body work?

Awesome car, why not use the holly? i thought that was an option available on 440
Good question. I wonder if it is allowed.
AVS is the only option to use until 1970

Special car
More cars came from barns than the dealerships
Bobby, how long has he owned this Dart?
I believe he said 2005.
That ‘68 is a beauty. Did not recall that Dodge had 50? 440 ci Darts back then. 383’s yes, 440’s no.
