'68 Dodge Dart — Frequently Asked Questions
Collector FAQs
What identifies an exact release?
Use multiple agreeing identifiers: casting, year, product number, wheels, body treatment, base markings and packaging where documented.
Does a matching casting name prove the release?
No. One casting can have many releases and variations across different years and assortments.
Why can a value be missing?
Exact-item completed-sale evidence may be insufficient. The guide does not substitute asking prices or unrelated releases.
Why can the reference image be missing?
The page only promotes a release image when a suitable Shopify-hosted reference is available. Missing media stays pending rather than being replaced with an unrelated image.

Additional Collector Research
Casting and Release History
Larry Wood designed this casting for the 2004 Auto Affinity: Motor City Muscle range. Packaging originally called it Dodge Dart; 2005 Classics cards used 1970 Dodge Dart, then 1968 Dodge Dart and '68 Dodge Dart names appeared in 2006. These are names for this tooling, not four separate casting debuts. Collector references relate its shape to engineer Tom Sneddon's Dart. The vehicle model year is distinct from each toy release year.
