The D-Dart did have (2) unneeded items removed from the car. (1) The radio and (2) the center console unit that was typical on the Dart GT's.
The car did come with the heater installed, and the inlet and outlet hoses were connected to their ports, mounted on the passenger side of the firewall. Most racers just disconnected the hoses, and several (if not 80%) removed the heater unit (about 18 lbs. of weight) from the car.
Basic 6.95 x 14" 2-ply tires were used, mounted on 4.5" wide steel wheels, with the 5-bolt 4" bolt pattern (commonly called the A-body wheels).
Doug Headers. Street-type non-fenderwell units that went down the sides of the engine compartment and under the chassis. The headers have 1 5/8 tubes. The collector is about 2 7/8" ID -- a wierd size. The factory y-pipe is 2 1/2". These dimensions are from a surviving set of headers today.
Because it came without warrenty? Not shipped in the trunk, but installed. Or because it's a dart! WHAT NO LOVE FOR A BODIES!
