While it was just as powerful as its midsize counterpart, the Dodge Charger, it was almost 400 pounds (181 kg) lighter. The 440-equipped Dart was a big deal in terms of power-to-weight ratio. It also gradually added the bigger V8 engines available in the larger Charger, Coronet, and Polara.Д«y 1970, the Dart had arrived in dealerships not only with the 340-cubic-inch (5.2-liter) LA and the 383-cubic-inch (6.3-liter) RB but also with the mighty 440-cubic-inch (7.2-liter) V8, which was good for 375 horsepower.

With the muscle car wars in full swing, Dodge gave the Dart a sportier appearance and a full-blown coupe version. That changed when the fourth and final generation Dart arrived in 1967. Quite decent for a mid-1960s compact, but far from what high-performance intermediates were capable of at the time. Initially rated at 180 horsepower, it was upgraded to 235 horses in 1965. In its four years on the market, the third-gen Dart was offered with only one V8 in the form of a 273-cubic-inch (4.5-liter) unit. While the short-lived midsize version left a mark on the performance market thanks to the 413-cubic-inch (6.8-liter) Wedge V8 good for 415 horsepower, the compact that replaced it didn't have much to brag about at first. Born as a full-size car in 1960, the Dart became a midsize vehicle in 1962 before it was downsized again to a compact in 1963.
