It's either 106" or 106.5" for that car.

Darts (non wagons) are 111".

Just for curiosity value, our(Australian) later model Valiants had 3 different wheelbases, the earlier ones may be different, but I am not into them.
Charger was 105", sedan, utility, panelvan and wagon were 111" and the hardtop was 115". The hardtop also had reeeally long quarter panels and rear overhang, while the Charger had a much shorter(2") quarter panel and overhang than a sedan.

Regards, Andrew.
