![]() A wider front end had given the 1967 Darts a broader stance and additional engine room - but nothing new to fill that extra space. Nevertheless, these useful doodads were attached to an otherwise no-frills American compact that had a difficult time eliciting excitement. So did the more potent four-barrel variant of the 273-cid V-8, available with either TorqueFlite or a four-speed, and an optional tachometer. Ordering the optional Rallye suspension package helped, especially when combined with front-disc brakes and D70 × 14 Red Streak tires. Some of that size increase was illusory, in fact, since overall length actually shrank by a fraction of an inch.Ĭlearly, more than bucket seats and an identifying plaque were needed to turn a plain-Jane Dart into an honest GT.

When Darts enjoyed a major restyle for 1967, the GT came along for another trial run, winding up the year with a modest but welcome sales gain.
