The Dodge Dart, built on Chrysler's A-body platform, offered a versatile package from its introduction through its final years. Originally a senior compact, it was downsized in 1963 and became a Mopar staple, known for its durability. Engine options ranged from the famously reliable Slant-6 to a host of powerful V8s, including the 340, 383, and 440.
Collectors prize the Dart as an accessible entry into Mopar muscle. Performance models like the GTS and the Swinger 340 deliver a big punch in a lightweight chassis. They're mechanically simple, and a strong aftermarket makes parts easy to find, so they're great cars to own, drive, and modify.
The Dart market is diverse, with an average sale price of $22,489 across 115 recent sales. This figure is pulled up by the high-performance variants, as base models and sedans still trade for much less. The top of the market is reserved for documented, numbers-matching cars like the GTS 440 and the exceptionally rare 1968 Hurst Hemi Dart.
Buying Tips
- Check for rust in the lower rear quarter panels, trunk floor extensions, and around the front and rear glass.
- A-body front suspensions are prone to wear; inspect the torsion bar bushings, ball joints, and steering components for play.
- For performance models, verify the VIN and fender tag codes to ensure it's a genuine high-spec car and not a clone.
- Interior parts, especially dash pads and model-specific trim for GTS or Swinger models, can be difficult to find and expensive to replace.
Based on 115 recent sales, prices range from $510 for projects to $93,500 for top-spec variants.
