How many Dodge Darts are left in New Zealand?
Rare 1 in 36,810 on the road Built 1960-1976 American
Updated from the NZTA Motor Vehicle Register, counted as at 31 August 2026. Recounted every month.
Launched for 1960 as a cheaper full-size Dodge, the Dart shrank to a compact for 1963 and found its calling. With the almost unbreakable slant-six it was honest family transport until 1976; with the 340 V8, as the Swinger or GTS, it was a giant-killer. The name returned briefly on a small sedan in 2013.
