1973 Dodge Dart Sport
By the time 1973 rolled around, the Dart was still one of the most common Dodges on the road. The model wasn’t insanely powerful but it was quite the sleeper. With its V8 engine and lightweight design, the Dart Sport was far beyond what it should have been. The 5.2L V8 only had about 152 HP but the car was a lot lighter in terms of curb weight. The styling of the Dart wasn’t as ugly as you’d imagine from this era and had a nice vibe to it (via Country Classics).
The Dodge Dart was one of the most well-known Dodge models from the past, and it continued well into the ’70s. The lightweight design and reasonable performance made the Dart something people enjoyed driving. With its V8 power and the simple platform, it was one car that didn’t need a whole lot of modification to make it perfect.
