1972coronet Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 NICE !!! I love the Brasilian Dart-Chargers, and your builds are fine examples of them. Did you include the engines? If I remember, they are either silver or gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, Jim B said: Nise Dodges. What makes the specifically Brazilian? Made in Brasil with CKD (Complete Knock-Down) kits from Chrysler U.S. While resembling the 1969 Dart of the U.S. market, that's where the similarities end. Engines were -performance-wise- 318 (5,2 litros) with, in es, 340 top end. Rated at 230hp and completely free of any smog equipment (except for the useful PCV valve). Interiors were unique, made of locally-sourced items from local suppliers; this wasn't limited to the interior. The tyres were sourced from Good Year's South American plant (white letters read Banda Larga [Wide Band; colloq., Wide Tread] ) Oftentimes, the interiors were more luxurious vs. their U.S. counterparts. The Flying Buttress of the R/T was designing nod to the 1968-1970 Charger. I am certain that Señior Gustavo will correct/amend any info I've shared here. **EDIT** Here's a decent article about the Brasilian Dart et alia models CC Global: The Brazilian Dodge Dart/Charger – Genuine Mopar V8 This Time Around | Curbside Classic Similarly, AutoMex (Chrysler de Mexico et alia) built and sold a Valiant Super Bee (1970 1971-1976 Demon/Dart Sport) ,GTS Dart (two door hardtop), and F-body (Aspen) Super Bee (1976-1980).

espo Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Both are great looking builds. Beautiful paint work and clean looking trim. Always interesting to see how and what was marketed elsewhere in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phirewriter Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Those look terrific! Did you do the modifications to the Revell Darts or are the bodies resin? I think the Brazilian cars look much better than the North American versions with the elongated c pillars and the modified front ends.
