The Dodge Dart is a line of automobiles marketed by Dodge from the 1959 to 1976 model years in North America, with production extended to later years in various other markets.
The Dart name originally appeared on a 1956 Chrysler show car featuring a streamlined body designed by the Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Ghia that was later modified and renamed the Dart Diablo.[1] The production Dart was introduced as a lower-priced, full-size Dodge in 1960 and 1961, became a mid-size car for 1962, and then was a compact from 1963 to 1976.[2][3]
The Dart nameplate was resurrected for a Fiat-derived compact car that was introduced in 2012
1976 was the Dart's final year in the North-American market. The rear-view mirror was mounted on the windshield rather than from the roof. Front disc brakes became standard equipment on 1 January 1976 in accord with more stringent U.S. federal brake-performance requirements, a new 2-spoke steering wheel debuted and a new foot-operated parking brake replaced the under-dash T-handle used since the Dart's 1963 introduction as a compact car. The grille's parking lamps were cast in amber, whereas the previous years had clear lenses with amber-colored bulbs.
The Dart Sport 360 was dropped as a separate model in 1976, but the 360 cu in (5.9 L) four-barrel, dual exhaust (without catalytic converters) V8 was a $376 option (except in California) for the $3,370 Dart Sport V8 models with automatic transmission.[40] Car & Driver magazine tested the Dart Sport 360 in the April 1976 issue, pitting it against the Chevrolet Corvette and Pontiac Trans Am, and found its top speed of 121.6 mph (195.7 km/h) to be second to the Corvette's 124.5 mph (200.4 km/h)
For 1973 and 1974, the "Convertriple" option on the Dart Sport included a fold-down rear seat/security panel offering 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m) of lengthwise space, and a manually operated metal sunroof.[42] It was advertised as "three cars in one": an economy compact, a convertible alternative because of the sunroof, and a roomy station wagon alternative because of the fold down rear seat.[43][44]
1975 Hang 10
The Convertriple was the basis for the 1975 "Hang 10" option.[45] It was aimed at surfers in an attempt by Dodge marketers to better determine consumer preferences in a declining performance market.[46] Hang ten is a surfing expression for balancing at the end of a surfboard with ten toes over the nose of the board while riding the wave. Available only in eggshell white exterior with a factory-installed sunroof, the car's fold-down rear seat permitted the loading of a surfboard through the trunk. The Hang 10 option continued the surfing theme with various colored stripe material accenting the white vinyl seats and door panels.[47] Orange shag carpet covered the back of the fold-down rear seat while the dash and center console had orange accents.[47] Red and blue exterior stripes started at the quarter panels with a wave-riding surfer graphic. A surfboard design ran down the center of the hood. Between the taillights, the stripe pattern fattened into surfboard-shaped letters that spelled out "Hang 10"
In a tie-in with the United States Bicentennial, a "Spirit of '76" edition of the Dart Sport featured white paint with prominent red and blue bodyside striping meant to evoke the image of the American flag.
Although racers like Dick Landy and Don Garlits had modified Darts in the mid-1960s to run in the National Hot Rod Association - NHRA funny car class using the 426 Hemi, super stock class racing of the Dart was almost non-existent due to the small V-8s available. In 1968, Dodge contracted Hurst Performance to build a limited number of Darts powered by the 440 cu in (7.2 l) RB big-block and 426 cu in (7.0 l) Hemi-powered Darts to compete in the SS/B class as the LO23 "Hurst Hemi Dart". According to Chrysler staff engineer Larry Shepard, the majority of these Darts were Hemi powered, although a small pilot run of fifty 440-powered Darts were also built in 1968.[53] "In 1969," said Shepard, "we built over 600 440-powered Darts-basically the same as the 383 GTS, except for the engine.

Chris, i loved the story that went along with this! It made this one come alive. If you started driving in the 80s, you knew someone who had a car like this
I love your build philosophy. Build for you build it how you want it it’s your model. I do it the same way. Keep up the great work and being so inspirational. Thank you!
Thanks a lot! And thanks for spending some time on the channel!
Lots of 70-76, Challengers, Dusters, Demons/ Darts, and Cudas, running in NHRA Stock, and Super Stock, Eliminators. The fastest car show on earth! Neat kit.
Awesome build my friend!! 1976 !!! grad from High School and started my 24 year career in the USAF...!!
Thanks Cliff!
As a guy who owns a ‘73, that’s one heck of a nice build. You know your cars! 😎
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Afternoon Chris, I love the 70' chinese mustard yellow color. Just like the refrigerator colors when I was a kid.......to cool a color.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Yep! Very true. My folks had one in that yellow color back then. If it wasn't yellow..it was that pea green color.
Nice build!! Ah 1976!!! Year I graduated from High School (Hartford, Wis) and spent then next 24 years in the USAF.. Again an AWESOME build my friend!!
Very cool!
I love watching all your builds, makes me want to get busy on all the kits I've picked up over the years.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Same here..problem is..
Which one to build..
I did this kit a few years ago for a buddy who is in a wheel chair.i did the sitting dude and I cant remember where I got it but I found a wheel chair and put the sitting dude in it.he loved it.
When I was a kid around 10 or 11yrs old I saw and fell in love with the duster.i love how it looks fast standing still.and the dart is just like it.
Another awesome build! After watching your videos I find myself at modelroundup buying a new model because I end up getting inspired by your builds, thanks for the awesome videos!
Glad you like it and support the hobby!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Very Nice. I just got the 1975 Dodge Dart Sport 3-1 "Rebel Rouser" kit. Can't wait to start now...
I did that 1 last year great kit you'll enjoy building it
This build screams 70's grass roots drag racing! You've captured it perfectly!
Glad you like it!
You are a teacher, the skills I learn here I can apply to alot of other projects, so cool!!!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
'...I love the smell of Testor's enamels in the morning...' mmm what great memories! Long before I began using acrylic craft paints, I had a couple Testors paint carousels filled with little bottle paints, two bottles of brush cleaner and 'all the fixins'- good times... I can't count how many planes, cars and ships those saw me thru. Glad to see someone still uses at least a little enamel for old times sake! :)
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Perfect for simply polishing the plastic and building it promo style.
Thanks!
thats kool , My friend and me found a deserted 74 Duster , same color gold...out on a Ranch....Brought it home , built an awesome 11's drag car....super fun ...Rock onnn Chris , hope yer well today
Robert
....lol , you shoulda seen me as crew chief @ the track , w/ a 5 lb sledge....beatin' in the rear wheel wells , after they smoked from rubbing 1st time down the track....it was hilarious , but we got 'er back together , by the next round , and went on to qualify.......fun stuff , good memories,,,thanx again
Cool man!
I've got the earlier " rebel rouser" version of this kit..only bought it on clearance at hobby lobby just for the two figures..the driver works great in other cars too..just dug this kit back out..contemplating building it straight out the box ..just cause of this build video here..like I need start another..but I do enjoy watching these..love your paint techniques ..especially the black primer on everything..gonna have to try that method for a different approach ..I've always used grey primer..love your back story approach as well. I used to do that too on every build when I was younger..still kinda do..but not much as most of all my builds have been parts box gluebomb rebuilds.
Thanks for watching!
Another nice car - thanks for the back story - it is always fun to hear.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Always enjoy watching your builds. Simple and sweet.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Hi,really cool glad they included the 340 such a fun engine in reel life i had a 340 magnum 73 charger rallye i had a ball in that car.thanks chris for sharing a fun mopar.and cool options.thanks
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
💘 the way you painted the wheels on this to create a more realistic look...
Some rubber on the rear lower 1/4 panel after doing a burnout would look great
All kidding aside I use to use spare parts to build my own car. Veryyyy Interesting! Now you can buy kits for that purpose. Go Figure!
Thanks for watching!
Your welcome. It was enjoyable
I remember building this one back in the day, too. I found a can of Mopar tawny gold spray paint at the auto parts store and painted it in that with the rallye wheels like you used. Good times in the malaise era! :-)
I haven't built many cars, in fact, I've only built one since I got back into modeling (more armour and aircraft than anything) . But I do like the old iconic muscle cars and this one is a great example. Nice build, well done 👍🏻
Thanks a lot! And thanks for spending some time on the channel!
Keep them funky 70’s model cars coming!! YEAHHHH!! 👍👍👍🚙🚙
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
A lot of 😎 parts with this kit.. Looks like you can build it either showroom stock or as a drag car...
Cool kit I’m thinking of picking it up .Thanks for all the builds you do it’s really inspiring
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
You have a lot of my favorite builds in your stash but this one quickly moved to the top it really looks great Chris!!!
Cool!
Nice job. Like how that black wash came out.
Thanks for watching and taking part in the fun!
Fantastic build,brother.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Wow very cool being a mopar great but when I saw the old Gratiot auto supply decals I was sold. Grew up in detroit and bought things from there thanks for the memories.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Must buy kit if this come to finland. Close to my first car. 93 my dad bought me 74 dart. Slant six. Love that car. After two years i sell it, and bought 77 Aspen with 273.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Another beautiful kit Chris I like 👍
I really like these old 70's cars. Classic cars period, were just so epic!
Your videos are awesome Chris. I especially like the car one's, but they're
all VERY entertaining. Looking forward to the next video, and this was
inspiring. Everytime you do a car, I want to do my version afterwards.
That's pretty cool that it happens the way? See man, you do good things!
Thanks dude, see you in the next video. Oh yeah, hope you stay safe & healthy...
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
I think I’d go with the Spirit of ‘76 theme a Google search shows these as fairly rare limited editions that are kind of rare today. Looks like all of the decals are there.
Thanks for watching!
Very Cool 1976 Dodge Dart !!!!!!!!!! MOPAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Very cool Chris, I love this build!! I'm going to order mine as soon as I finish this comment! ! Keep up the great presentations!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
👍 Nice job! Need to add one of these to my collection.
WOW, kool car kit. My neighbor back in 74 had a 1972 Dodge Demon 340 that I helped him drag race in the stock classes. That winter we modified it to run Super Stock classes. I'm going to buy this and make a copy of that car. The smell of Testors enamel paint in my youth, oh yeah! Now if they could do the glue ... yikes :( Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
💘 the added weathering and patina too!!
A solid, clean and robust build. Thank you, Chris!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Looks great Chris, I just got one last week and look forward to building the kit. I’m going to use your techniques for my build. Stay safe and as always thanks for a fun build
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
I know i'm showing my ignorance but i know nothing about the dart i'm a brit but looks cool.👌👍
@@C.Brown5150 Same to you as well .
@@C.Brown5150 That would be Plymouth Duster produced from 1970-76. The Dodge Dart Sport(the name of the fastback coupe), originated as the Dodge Demon in 1971, but the Christian opposition in the deep south part of the U.S. objected to the name, so Chrysler(the parent company to Dodge & Plymouth), changed the name to Dart Sport for the 1973 model until 1976 when the Dodge Dart & Plymouth Valiant lines were discontinued.
05gtdriver, thanks for Sharing the Interesting Trivia Sir, God Bless All.
It was sort of the last gasp for muscle cars, if you can call it that. Not a bad car if you got an optioned out one but most were plain jane grocery machines that rusted into pieces.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
I always wanted to mix this thing with the amt duster
Another BEAUTIFUL build!!.. All ready for the next trip down the quarter mile!!.. Keep up the great work Bud!!
Great kit and build! Big thanks for the continued uploads, I really look forward to them, especially in light of current days.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
I've got both a 1/24 and 1/64 Die Cast model of the 71 Duster 340 which was basically the same body as this Dart Sport kit...
I also have a 1/64 71 Dart Swinger in Die Cast which was more of a coupe body where this(and the 2 die cast Duster 340s I have) is more of a fastback body...
I built this kit last time they rereleased it. Didn't have the 2nd engine.
The drag decals were the Rebel Rouser
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Turned out nice! I bought that same model recently. Haven't built it yet.
Very nice build Chris. I do think you would be happier with the build if you took 2 minutes to use some #0000 steel wool to remove the mold lines on the body. If you do it thoroughly, you won't see any scratches when you clear coat it.
I'm perfectly happy, but as always, build the way you want and enjoy it.
Good tip on the wool.
Pretty cool they provide the decals for the Hang 10 and Spirt of 76 edition Darts
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Another kick ass build, love your version and I plan to do a similar one with the amt version I have from 2009. A nice surprise after a HORRID DAY....THANK YOU😸😸🐈🤜🤛🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
This kit is good. It could be even greater if AMT was to mod some parts, like modding the grill as to put transparent headlights and other things. Really good build as always.
I do have a question for you. I bought a paint pen for my lettering. The paint dry correctly. However, the pen has a tendency of getting a HUGE drop of white paint on its tip which end up making huge blotches and making me have to remove the paint. Do you have any tips so this doesn't happen?
Wipe it off constantly, that's the only way.
@@hpiguy Thanks.
Saturday..... Hpiguys mopar model video......... Life is good! Mopar or no car
I Don't Have a Car BUT I'll BUILD Almost ANY Car 😆😆😆😆😆
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!

Love that kit, just one more to get, great build as always Chris 👍👍
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Cool inclusion of the figures
A black Sharpie works well for gauges and such
Gunna have to get that one, sick
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Cool kit! Those honeycomb wheels look like they came off a mid 70s Trans Am.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Awesome build man! I'm definitely going to get this kit and maybe rat-rod it. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
💘 that drag hood scoop too!!
So cool! Reminds me of the good ole days!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Question. Being a new subscriber i must say your videos are rather full of tips n tricks. Ive learned alot watching your videos and attempt them with whatever model car i get next. My question tho, have you ever built army vehicles, M124A1 M-ATV - Ryefield #5032 - 1/35th, or the Firetruck that just came out. I kno they would take alot of time but id like to see your take on either one of those. Like i said, i love the videos, and watching the paint. Love the tunes u play. Just askin a random ??
I've talked with those companies and they don't have much interest in sending stuff for review but if they ever do I'll tackle it!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
😎 extra carburetor you put on the rear seat!!
Again Love Your Twist on it Chris, God Bless All.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Really neat kit, but 1973 was the last year for the 340.
💘 those stock Goodyear tires...
You have some good back stories for your builds. You read my mind at the very end when you mentioned building a sleeper. It would also look good build as O' Banyon's dart in Dazed and Confused
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Thanks for another build.
Thanks a lot! And thanks for spending some time on the channel!
I did the 75 MPC kit last year
Thanks for this cheering up vid. Being quarantined I'm going nuts staying home
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Looks awesome like what you did with it in 1986 i had a 73 dart sport 340 4spd fact. Sunroof
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
I love kits that have figures, that's so awesomly awesome sauce!!!
great effect of the light red coat over the black primer. I'll master that technique yet. And why the silver marker on the chrome rather than a molotow pen? (After all I bought 3 of them after certain other of your videos)
Personal choice. I use molotow sometimes when I can wait for it to dry and sharpie for others when I need it dry instantly.
That is a great technique that works very good when you get the hang of it. I just painted up a Hemi with a black undercoat and it looks sweeeeet. Saved me a lot of blackwash time, too. Another simple trick I never would've thought to try if not for this channel.
@@tylerlonsdale9460 I have a 55 Chevy to do next with a six cylinder - it will be my first attempt to detail and engine. I will use this technique on it. Thanks for your note
Really nice build Chris
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Beautiful job.
Thank you! Cheers!
With these redone dragsters,take a piece of stretched sprue and run it from the radiator to the washer tank and call it his rad puke tank! Most tracks require overflow tanks,that would cover it.
Sadly, 1976 was the last year for the Dart, and IIRC 1976 Darts did not have the 3-spoke steering wheel (every one I have seen was the 2-spoke) that is in this kit????? ODD!
But Loved your review/build. THANKS!
Thanks for watching!
Nice build, the post between the side windows should be silver and 73 was the last year that the 340 was available but otherwise a great build.
😎 pit crew that comes with this kit too!!
Sweet! Nice job Chris amazing detail
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Cool a-body mopar, with mighty HEMI!! That thing got a hemi? Sweet
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Real nice work, Chris!!
Wow! I remember STP Son of A Gun 😂
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Coolest 76 Dart around
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Another great build bub!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
I always wondered why MPC included mid-'70s Trans Am wheels as the optional wheels in that kit.
I believe they tried to make me look like Spyder Mags from back then
That style was a popular aftermarket look. Pontiac really took to the honeycomb and crosslace style wheels for a long tme.
AWESOME WORK BUDDY LOVE THE COLOUR AND STYLE NICE DETAILS 👍👍
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment! Much appreciated, model on!
Hi Chris, I enjoy your builds! I know I'm being picky, but the small block on these cars in 1976 was the 360, not the 340. The 340 was retired after 1972, I believe. The 360 was configured for emissions and had lower horsepower than the 340. Progress, right? :-)
Thanks for the info!
I bought the previous release of this kit a few years ago, the 76 dodge dart sport, and I remember being kind of disappointed with the quality. The body never sat right and the plastic felt rather flimsy. Would you say this kit is worth another shot? I would love to have a Spirit of '76 Dart on my shelf, but I don't know if I can justify spending $30 on a kit I don't remember being all that great.
If you Have Hobby lobby in Your Area They Have a 40%Off Coupon Online You Can Use.
I had no issues with the kit, you can see the parts in the video and what can be done, seems fine to me if we understand that old MPC kits are going to be simplistic.
awesome car... great kit
Thanks for watching!
💘 that Race Hemi engine!
You’ve built a lot of stuff and I really enjoy watching everything you put on UA-cam. You probably can’t or won’t say but, have you found one model kit company is better than others when it comes to quality? Just curious. For me, I’ve alway been partial to AMT.
Well we always have to remember that a lot of these kits are pretty old reissues, so that makes a big difference. As time goes on model companies get better at designing kits.
Each company has real knock outs and a few duds. But I've never come across a kit I can't get done in a few days and have a reasonable looking model.
Hey, I had that real car... but a ‘74, with 318 V8 auto. Copper metallic paint and the obligatory vinyl landau top in off white colour.
Very Groovy! 🏆

Love your modeling skills and tutorials. my question is where do display all the models you build. you must have a garage as big as Jay Leno.
Most get stored safely.
