How do you top the bestselling compact car of 1968, the Dodge Dart?
With the '69 Dart line, naturally. And Dodge didn't disappoint. Offering no less than six engine packages from an economical 170 slant-six to the muscular 383 V8, Dodge delivered something for everybody, from the base model Swinger to the top-of-the-line GTS.
The Swinger 340 was the lowest-priced high-performance Dodge in '69, and the 340 4-bbl. V8 delivering 275 hp with Rallye Suspension, wide tread tires, and Firm Ride shocks certainly delivered performance bang for the buck. Inside, standard bench seats and the optional TorqueFlite automatic transmission offered a comfortable ride. Dodge loaded the performance-oriented GTS with either the standard 340 V8 or the optional 383 Magnum 4-bbl. V8, both with dual exhausts. The heavy-duty Rallye Suspension, Firm Ride shocks, and Red Line wide tread tires completed the package, and a sporty and stylish interior featured an optional 4-speed manual Hurst shifter in a center console between standard bucket seats. Both the Swinger 340 and GTS proudly wore the distinctive 'bumblebee stripes' to claim their places of honor in the Dodge Scat Pack.

The Dodge Dart began as a full-size car in 1960 before being downsized to compact dimensions in 1963. By the late 1960s, the compact Dart was being fitted with big-block Hemi and 440 engines by both the factory and independent tuners, creating some of the quickest street cars of the era. The Dart Swinger 340 and GTS were the factory hot-rod versions.
This 1/18 scale replica of the 1969 Dodge Dart in Gold is produced by Highway 61 to collector-grade specifications. At 1/18 scale — the most popular collector scale — the model measures approximately 10 inches in length and displays beautifully on a shelf or in a glass cabinet. Every detail — from paint finish to badging — is reproduced from measurements taken from the original vehicle.
