This web site is dedicated to the underrated, underappreciated Dodge Dart GTS. This includes model years 1967-1968 and 1969! The "SMALL" Mopar Muscle Car from the 60's. The GTS shared the same A-body platform as the 67-68-69 Plymouth Barracuda on a 111" wheelbase. The first year GTS came equipped ONLY with the 383 Four Barrel for 1967. This was followed in 1968 with the purpose built, high winding HIGH PERFORMANCE 340 Four Barrel as the standard powerplant with the 383 Four Barrel as an option. This Registry does not include the SS Hemi Darts as they were not based on the GTS. In 1969, the "M" code 440 GTS was introduced along with the 340 and 383's! The GTS was the top of the line for the Dart line. The GTS was only available for those three years. Also, 67-68-69 were the only years that had the 383 and 440 engines.

What the GTS Registry would like is some information from you! This is to create a data base for all GTS owners. Hopefully the GTS Registry will be able to trace the origins of the '68 grill center piece, the '69 headrests, and the infamous "Recall Rims". Does your GTS have them?? Original?? What color was your 340 in 1969?? Blue or turquoise?? Burning questions that we have all asked ourselves. Right?? The GTS Registry was created to help answer those questions. Regardless if your GTS is a project car, a rotisierre restoration, a pro-street modified car, a "barn fresh" find, or a full-out race car, the GTS Registry is here to bring all GTS owners together to help share information.

This registry will be divided into two major sections. The first will be dedicated to the 1967 and 1968 GTS. The second section will be for the 1969 GTS. This is due to the lower production numbers for the 67-68 model years. Hopefullyyou will find this registry informative. Also featured is a "Reference" section with helpful photos and part numbers, a "Lost and Found" section, and a very informative section regarding the 1969 440 "M" code GTS.


Due to concerns from fellow GTS owners, the last three digits of your VIN will NOT be displayed on this website! However, please include the ENTIRE VIN in your email so your GTS can placed in the proper production order. Once again, the GTS Registry will NOT display the last three numbers of your VIN. You will still be able to see in what order your GTS was made.
Recently, there have been concerns by GTS owners not wishing to share their personal info with the GTS Registry. There is nothing to be afraid of. This is not a scheme to gather and/or distribute personal or GTS information. I do NOT share this information with any other data base. If you don't want to show your first name or location, that is fine. I really just want to get your GTS's information. I prefer a more personal approach to gathering and displaying the history of our GTS. I did not want this to be another dull "registry" that only lists the partial VIN in a list of partial VINs. How boring.
Without the devoted owners, the GTS would be nothing special. The owner history of the car makes it interesting. There have been some great friendships started via the GTS Registry, so PLEASE don't sell yourself short by not wanting to include your GTS in the Registry. We are in this hobby together to have fun and share our experiences with other GTS owners.

How to REGISTER your GTS?!?!?

LS27P9B103***: GTS#450: Calvin from Manitoba owns this VERY early build, 1 of 214, GTS convertible. This GTS was built on Friday August 9, 1968 and was only the three thousandth Dodge built for 1969. Calvin reports that the original 340 shows 1968 red paint on the block with no evidence of turquoise. With this early of a build date, it is POSSIBLE that this got a 1968 340. Cal's convertible is painted Y2 Yellow with a white top and gold interior and is a V88 stripe delete car. It has a console shifted 727 trans with a console mounted N85 tach.

Now for some SPECIAL NEWS from the GTS Registry......

Some of you may remember Alan Miller running a 1967-1968 GTS Registry back in the late 1980's/early 1990's before the popularity of the internet. Alan has GRACIOUSLY sent the surviving archives from his Registry. I will be combining the two to see what it may bring! There is some really neat stuff that Alan has sent along. Just glancing thru the paperwork, I spotted a couple of entries in both Registries!!! The "shared" entries will be shown with a highlighted VIN. The remaining entries from Alan will be also shown in a separate section at the end of each Registry. That way we can keep track of some of the earlier VIN and maybe unite some current and past owners!

The GTS Registry has also been contacted by Patrick Dean who ran a 1969 GTS Registry during the same time period as the Miller Registry. The Dean Registry can be found on the 1969 GTS Registry page. The GTSs found in both the GTS Registry and the Dean Registry are highlighted in both. As a bonus, Mr. Dean also had a small 1969 340 Swinger Registry included with his GTS list. That is also shown on the 1969 GTS Registry page in honor of the our GTS high perfomance A-body cousin-the 340 Swinger. The Dean Registry also has 25 "M" code 440 GTS cars on the list!!
Make sure you check out both the 1967/1968 and the 1969 GTS Registry pages to see the Miller and Dean Registries!!

The 2009 edition of the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Races was held on September 18 and 19, 2009 at the Mid-Michigan Motorplex just outside of Stanton, Michigan. Unlike the rain-out of 2008, this year's event was held under beautiful blue skies and temps in the 60's and 70's. 144 cars were entered for this year's rendition which was thought to be a GREAT turn out considering our nation's current economic situation. A number of new cars were present, along with the list of usual suspects pounding down the quarter mile.
Seven entrants qualified in the 11's! Five Chevrolets, one Plymouth, and one Pontiac! Now THAT is cookin'! The quickest of the weekend was Julie Pennington and her 1969 L-88 Corvette 427/430 running a 11.72 @ 120.51mph. The other end of the PSMCDR spectrum was Wes Alspaugh and his 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 390/300 turning a 16.06 @ 88.37 mph. Plus 142 cars in-between that offered up fender-to-fender racing for the fans.
I am sorry for having to piggy-back the PSMCDR 2009 photos on to my GTS Registry page, but Yahoo is changing their webhosting policies and I couldn't justify commiting to another webpage host for a year with all the set-up fees and monthly fees. Thanks to all the PSMCDR friends for your understanding and enduring the all-Dodge content of the GTS Registry above!
This year's "Cars of Note" included not one, but FOUR Cougar Eliminators, two 1969 Dodge Charger 500's with Hemis under the hoods, and a very special 1964 Studebaker Challenger with the dual quad 304 R4 powerplant. We also got to see a 1961 bubble top Pontiac Catalina Tri-powered 389/348 and a 1962 Grand Prix at this year's event.
There were a number of mechanical failures that prevented eight (8) cars from not making the shoot-outs on Saturday. We hope that these were minor problems easily resolved and hopefully we get to see you guys out there next year!
Here are the cars and drivers that pushed their cars too far on Friday:
