OK
I have been having a look round and I really like the look of these two versions of the dart
A few questions
What years did the they run?
Did they make these in a RHD ?
Does anyone have the dimensions of both cars please ?
Can I get a RHD kit?
Or does another dash fit thats RHD ?
Oh! and are these the smallest versions of the dart?

Bottom is a 69. This shape was 67-69 run.
Top is a 70 and these were made from 70-76
In 73 the front end became peaked and they got the collision bumpers.
In 74 the rear became crash enhanced aswell.
Mopar back in the day made revisions every year (minor cosmetics).
68 had circular lights, 69 square etc.
Grills and rear bumpers were slightly different and were one or two year only.
Dash binnacle changed between 70/71/72 i believe.
They are all good cars, just personal preference.
For me the 5mph bumpers from 73 on kind of ruined the purity of the design.
If i had a choice it would be 68.
I own a 72 and it fits in the garage perfectly.
As for RHD, the barracudas of the late 60s did. Not sure on the Darts (same platform).

They might be small for a mopar but they are still a big car over here.
Think of a later 90's Jaguar XJ - same dimensions as the jag but a couple of inches shorter.

I have to agree about the bumper over riders, as we in the cortina world call them

if you get an Aussie VF or VG 2 door hardtop
and swap on 68 dart front end
you end up with a 68/69 dart a like that is RHD
there is one converted thus that comes to the Hot rod drags most years
same 2 door body as the US car
with a narrow tunnel floor pan and aussie front end
this car
