The 1980 Dodge Dart might be a bit of an oddball for American collectors since it was mostly sold in South America, but if you’ve got one, you know it’s got that classic Mopar DNA. These Darts came with Slant-Six engines and small-block V8s, making them reliable but still needing the usual brake upgrades, fuel system refreshes, and fresh weatherstripping after decades on the road. One of the biggest issues with these later Darts? Rust—especially around the wheel wells and rocker panels. If you’re noticing weak floorboards or spongy brakes, it’s time for new brake lines and master cylinders before you put too many miles on it.
