GarageScout Take

This factory 273 Dart Custom now has the identity of a 365ci 360-powered build, with the rebuilt 727 installation requiring a shortened, balanced driveshaft and related fitment changes. Mileage sits above the middle for this generation. The repaint from Light Green Metallic brought rust at the lower rear-window edge and trunk drip channel, while the engine still needs tuning, the exhaust leaks, low-speed brake effort rises with cam-induced low vacuum, and the Florida title lists the odometer as exempt.

Strengths

  • Long-term current ownership since 2006, with the 2012 refurbishment documented in the listing.
  • Rebuilt 365ci 360-based V8 with Indy-ported heads and a detailed performance-component list.
  • Rebuilt TorqueFlite 727 with modified driveline components to suit the larger transmission.
  • Fender-tag documentation preserves the car’s original factory configuration and finish details.

Watch For

  • The car was repainted from its original Light Green Metallic, and rust is noted at the lower rear-window edge and trunk drip channel.
  • The engine requires tuning, and the exhaust system leaks.
  • Braking effort increases at low engine speeds because of camshaft-induced low vacuum.
  • The Florida title lists the odometer status as “Exempt.”
