In 1967 the Fourth Generation of the Dodge Dart was introduced. This Dodge platform went from the B-body to the A-body platform. Modifications such as more Horsepower & more Torque were given to the existing engine types due to the larger carburetors & revised crankshafts. Also new engine types became available to the new Dart body & frame.

In addition to the new body styling, new steering systems & front track and frame rail spacing, the restyled Dart in 1967 featured a rear window with compound inverse curves. These minor modifications brought about a nice change to the Dodge Dart. This would be the final design & changes to the Dart until the end of the A-body in 1976.
