Frank's 1969 Dodge 340 GTS

This is my 1969 Dodge 340 GTS. 1 of 2623 made. 340 with a 727 Torqueflite and 3.91 Sure Grip gears. B5 Bright Blue Metallic with a B3 Light BLue bucket seat/console interior. I race the GTS in the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Races and the F.A.S.T. Shoot-Out series. The best time for the old Dodge is 13.26 @ 103.4 mph. And that is Pure Stock on skinny tires just the way it left the Dodge Hamtramck, MI plant on August 23, 1968.

I maintain the GTS Registry website. To learn more about the Dodge Dart GTS visit here:

This is the 340 that resides under the hood of the GTS. 1971 casting with "X" heads and all iron manifolds.

This is a factory B3 Light Blue interior. Console shifted 727 automatic with rare factory console tachometer. I have to use an aftermarket tach on the column as my 340's redline is 6000 rpm and the factory console tach only shows up to 5000 rpm!

Here is a "still" shot of the left front quarter taken in 2003 with the GTS wearing the optional full "mag style" wheelcovers. Mopar did not have a factory "performance rim" for the A-bodies until the introduction of the "Rallye" rim for the 1970 model year. My GTS came from the factory with the "mag style" covers, however, I race with the base "dog dish" caps for weight savings and for race track safety reasons.
