A seriously wild piece of Mopar muscle is headed to Mecum’s Kansas City auction this December: a custom-built 1968 Dodge Dart packing modern Hellcat power and show-car craftsmanship from front to back.

Nicknamed “Blow Dart,” the car was built by LexiJ, Inc./RMR Dreamcars in Hudson, Florida, and represents roughly 2,000 hours of fabrication, engineering, and detail work. Originally showcased at the 2016 SEMA Show, this Dart blends classic A-body styling with today’s high-performance tech.

Modern Muscle Under the Hood

Instead of the factory small-block, the Dart now houses a 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat HEMI V8, topped with a Kenne Bell supercharger for even more punch. Power is routed through a 4L80E overdrive automatic transmission, giving it both strength and street-friendly drivability.

Upgraded to Handle the Power

The builder didn’t just focus on horsepower — the entire chassis was modernized to keep up. Highlights include:

• Gerst tubular front cradle with coil-overs
• Gerst rear suspension setup
• Strange Engineering 9-inch rear end
• Rack-and-pinion steering
• Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes

These upgrades bring 21st-century handling and stopping power to a 1968 platform.

Custom Looks and Interior

Inside, the Dart features:

• Rallye-style bucket seats
• Dakota Digital gauge cluster
• Flaming River steering wheel
• Vintage Air climate control
• Hand-finished custom trim

Outside, the bumpers were hydro-dipped to mimic carbon fiber, and the car rides on one-off custom wheels, giving it a show-ready look from every angle.

Auction Information

The Hellcat-powered Dart will cross the block at Mecum Kansas City on December 6, 2025. For collectors seeking a restomod that blends classic Mopar DNA with modern horsepower and presentation-level detailing, this build should draw serious attention.
