Safety Features
Some safety features in the 1968 Dart include new side marker lights, "soft" plastic window crank knobs, additional instrument panel crash padding, front seat back latches, and improved fuel tank retention.
Rallye Pack
Any 1968 Darts can be equipped with the Rallye Suspension package. Heavier torsion bars, springs, and shock absorbers provide a firmer ride with higher handling and cornering ability.
