The first Dodge Darts were introduced for the 1960 model year in order to replace the Plymouth in the standard low-priced car segment for the Dodge dealer network. Sales quickly took off, passing the Matador and Polara for the same model year. In fact, Dart sales were so high for the 1960 model year, production of the other mid-priced model lines were reduced in order to accommodate the production of more Darts.
The Dodge Dart has been offered in a variety of trims and even had a stint as the perfect drag racing car. The success and popularity of the Dart is what made us take notice of the four that will be auctioned off at Mecum Glendale later this week. Mecum is known for securing some pretty remarkable vehicles, so we have no doubt these will go for a pretty penny.

1968 Dodge Dart
Next, we move on to a 1968 Dodge Dart. This amazing Dart has undergone a complete frame-off rotisserie restoration and is packed with all kinds of modern goodies. Painted a classic black with matching black interior, this Dart has a bad-ass mean look.
1969 Dodge Dart GT Mod Top
Although just one model year newer than the previous Dart, this EFG bright green Dart has the hard-to-find mod top and is only one of 14 ever produced. We have no doubt this one will be snatched up in a hurry.
