The Perfect Family Car….Not Really…but This wicked all-motor Dart is definitely fun for the whole family! The staff at RPM loves cars with a distinct factory appearance. There’s just something about a muscle car, old or new, that keeps as much original equipment as possible (and practical) in place that gets our attention.
To us, it’s still looks like a “real” production car, so when we find killer pieces like Shiloh Davies’ 1968 Dodge Dart, we jump at the chance to feature them in RPM Mag. After all, it was cars like Shiloh’s that started all this madness!
The date was 1998 and Shiloh and his wife Cynthia had just received the exciting news that they would be
having their first child. At the time, he was driving his 454 Chevy pickup daily, in fact, it was his only source of transportation. The thought of a pickup with a baby created some obvious challenges, so Davies did some-thing about it, he explains: “The opportunity arose for me to trade my truck for a 1968 Dodge Dart. I thought, hmmm, that would be a perfect family vehicle!” Interesting decision Shiloh, very interesting; it’s amazing how our gearhead minds are wired just a bit differently as I am sure 99% of RPM readers would completely agree!
