Some would say that the Dodge Dart was not a "Muscle Car", or even a "Pony Car".

The term pony car is used to refer to sporty compact cars that are usually fitted with a performance small-block V8 engine.

Muscle cars, on the other hand, were bigger than pony cars, with the mid-size chassis and a big-block V8 under their hood.

Well - I might be compelled to say that one specific Dodge Dart was the best weapon ever built by Detroit!

Was the 1968 Dodge Dart is the ultimate muscle car?

The 1968 Dodge Dart's small chassis and short wheelbase make it lighter than its siblings, and power-to-weight ratio goes a long way fast with a factory 426-CID Hemi shoehorned into the small engine bay.

80 each were produced

Performance: 0 to 60mph: 3.6 seconds

Quarter Mile: 10.50 seconds

Top Speed: 140mph

Gear Box Differential: 4:88.1

Dodge Dart Phoenix Hardtop Coupe, 1961. The first generation Dart was designed by Virgil Exner but the styling revisions that were made for the '61 model year, with reverse fins and rear fender scalloping, were unpopular with consumers and sales dropped. The Phoenix was the top-line model

I stroll past this '69 Dodge Dart almost every time I'm visiting San Luis Obispo. It's remarkably difficult to get a good shot of, due to where it's parked and the afternoon sun angle. Finally got one though! Just had to make it a messy double exposure and soup the film!
