Frank's 1969 Dodge 340 GTS

This is my 1969 Dodge 340 GTS. 1 of 2623 made. 340 with a 727 Torqueflite and 3.91 Sure Grip gears. B5 Bright Blue Metallic with a B3 Light BLue bucket seat/console interior. I race the GTS in the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Races and the F.A.S.T. Shoot-Out series. The best time for the old Dodge is 13.26 @ 103.4 mph. And that is Pure Stock on skinny tires just the way it left the Dodge Hamtramck, MI plant on August 23, 1968. To see what happened at the 2007 PSMCDR check out my annual update at that race here:

This is the 340 that resides under the hood of the GTS. 1971 casting with "X" heads and all iron manifolds.

This is a factory B3 Light Blue interior. Console shifted 727 automatic with rare factory console tachometer. I have to use an aftermarket tach on the column as my 340's redline is 6000 rpm and the factory console tach only shows up to 5000 rpm!

Here is a "still" shot of the left front quarter taken in 2003 with the GTS wearing the optional full "mag style" wheelcovers. Mopar did not have a factory "performance rim" for the A-bodies until the introduction of the "Rallye" rim for the 1970 model year. My GTS came from the factory with the "mag style" covers, however, I race with the base "dog dish" caps for weight savings and for race track safety reasons.
