60148G HIGHWAY 61 - 1969 Dodge Dart GTS. 1:18 scale diecast collectible model car. This Dodge Dart is a 10.75"Lx 4"Wx 3"H die cast metal car with openable doors, hood & trunk, fully detailed engine, steerable front wheels, working suspension, and soft interior & rubber tires. This Dodge Dart is manufactured by Highway 61. 60148 in GOLD color with White (like Beige) top. Individually packed in a window box. Box size: 13.75"Lx 6.5"Wx 5.75"H.

The Dart model first made an appearance in 1960 as a full-size sedan, and was an immediate success that prompted Dodge to cut back on the rest of their medium-priced line. Following a significant redesign in 1967, the 1968 Darts only underwent subtle changes in body components with a 318 ci engine rated at 230 hp added as an option. Late in 1967, Dodge introduced the performance-oriented GTS model which eventually came with a 340 ci V8 standard in 1968, with an optional 383ci big block. The light weight and high power ratio of the 340-equipped cars together with the Dart's excellent handling characteristics, made them a drag strip favorite. The '68 Dart became the best-selling compact of the year.

How did Dodge top that? With the '69 Dart, naturally. A new grille was the most obvious redesigned component, with more subtle body changes being made. New for 1969, the Swinger 340 was the lowest-priced high-performance Dodge, and teh 340 4-bbl. V8 delivering 275 hp certainly delivered performance bang for the buck. Dodge loaded the performance-oriented GTS with either the standard 340 V8 or the optional 383 Magnum 4-bbl. V8, both with dual exhausts. Both the Swinger 340 and GTS proudly wore the distinctive "bumblebee stripes" to claim their places of honor in the Dodge Scat Pack.

This authentic 1/18 scale replica from Highway 61 Collectibles is the next in a series of releases crafted to live up to the high standards of the designers and manufactures of the original cars. From the quality of the finish and decoration to the many precision-crafted working features, this model is destined to become a cherished addition to your collection.
