    We had the pleasure of meeting Dick at Carlisle this past July (2022) We brought a 64 Dart GT convertible. Dick's beautiful bronze 66 took 1st place in class, our 64 took 3rd place. Look forward to seeing him at Carlisle again in 2023.

    Clean engine (which sounds great), clean body, well-preserved upholstery/door panels and no dead bodies in the trunk. Yessir! We have a winner!

    A super nice Dart and owners Lou. My neighbors had one with the leaning tower of power when I was a kid. I saw a pair of wing cars in the background, bonus!
    Keep the videos coming Lou!
    I watched a few again, the 71 Hemi Cuda, black, white interior and billboards, and a few others with your friend.

      Lou Costabile , I enjoy the new ones and the old ones. I really like Toms collection of Holy Grail
      Hemi's and the fact that he drives them! That Tuxedo Cuda is out of this world!

    I remember these Dodge Darts! The GT was a great little car. I was eight years old when these were made. I love the the colors of the interior and exterior. No.power brakes but had power steering. Had those dog dish hub caps. Gotta watch those sleepers! Lol! I saw a neat one if these on a episode of the Munsters just a a awesome car! Love the owners as the love their car!

    Nice people, awesome car!! That 273 was a very fun underrated engine. Just like the 361 for certain purposes.
    Plus a mopar guy that found another beautiful mopar in my home city.
    Plenty of mopars here.. Hard to get people to let go of them though ;))
    Nice job Lou. Its always like that with your videos.
    Thanks very much for all the great cars. Lots of awesome memories.
    Did i hear Golden commandos/ Ram Chargers in the background???
    Mopar ruled back then too..

    Very nice. I've always liked these as convertibles, and the 273 is also a plus! They can be had fo dirt cheat too, which is a mystery to me because they really are great when in good shape.

    That fender tag made me laugh. There looked like there was maybe 5 rpo codes tops showing very very few options. Poverty hubcaps too. Amazing color for Dodges entry level automobile. The owners are great caretakers of this rare Dart.

    Very nice machine!!! I own a rare version of this car. Here in Spain, they were built in their 4 door version, by '69 the car's body was kept just like this one, except for the grill which was changed and was unique for that year in Spain, only had the choice of the 225 slant 6 engine, but had an all leather black interior with bucket seats, a sports wooden dash with many instruments 4 speed manual on the floor, sway bars, limited slip rear diff and power brakes, ventilated disc ones at front and full vinyl roof. Those were cars for very rich people here at the time, military, mayors, politicians or impostant bussiness men... I was lucky to get one of the very few that exist today without even planning it, it appeared, I bought it. Even being a Dart, it really feels luxurious and sporty for a car from the day even having the power of that 6...

    remarkable vehicle. a real mustang beating car. not many are so well looked after. the collins' had air put in. luxurious ride. little teenie miniature fins as those had pretty much began to disappear. the 65 sedan sevilles had little itty bitty fins, and then.. no more. they're cute on this GT. nice.

    Awesome trunky treats in this one, gotta love that gal in the pic - nice shopping attire. Matchy dress jacket, turtleneck, and skirt.... Oh n a big-ass shotgun of course... priceless!!! Really nice car. Great style and I love the bronze, especially with the deep orangey hue to it, very complimentary to the style. Really pretty color! Nice looking engine. Great vid, love seeing the cool manuals n all, fun! Thanks
