Welcome on the board. Not seeing your photo; there doesn't appear to be an image link there.

420, it refers to the, um, the 225 engine and the 195/75R14-size tires, right? 225 + 195 = 420.

420 is the air conditioning........

4 windows at 20 mph (not a V8, so it's slower than the normal 40mph)

The DartCustom420 was a rare model sold only in California. It had a special two-tone paint job- Jamaican Blue and Inca Gold (affectionately known as "Acapulco Gold"). The package came with a vynil top that was actually factory leftover Mod-Top material that was redyed gold or green, much like the rare maroon paisley vynil tops found on early 70s Imperials.

The interior was bench seat only, but it was green velour, similar to the Dodge Dart Special Edition interiors, and there was a special "second glove box" hidden under the dash. There was also the optional "South of the Border" package that included special luggage compartments in the trunk and bumpers, advertised as handy for folks who like to head down to Mexico to go camping.

The DartCustom420 was noted for having the most darkly factory tinted windows of any Mopar production car, with the tint blocking 75% of all light. The DartCustom420 was also unique in that there was a false second tailpipe on the passenger side that was actually the exhaust for the cabin air circulation system. There were also several special pin-striping options, as well as the custom five-pointed fleur-de-lis hood ornament.




Just kidding. Welcome aboard mate!
