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 1968 Dodge Dart is produced by MIC 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.
