Mike McKee acquired this ’69 Dodge Dart back in the early 80’s. As in many other hot rod stories, he had the Mopar sitting in a barn for years until a decision was made. Rebuilding the car and putting it back on the road.

Considering that this is a 1969 Dodge Dart GTS convertible born with 383 big block mated to a 4-speed, most people would restore the rare Mopar back to original specs. Well, Mike McKee’s is not like most people.

The owner of McKee’s Hot Rod Shop went on with a full Hellcat drivetrain. While he races the ’69 Dodge Dart, Mike mostly drives it on the street. So he added some comfort by installing air conditioning and heated seats.

I would not criticize him. It is his car, and all that matters is what makes him happy. Running a hot rod shop, Mike will also get more attention and customers when showing up at various events with his Hellcat swapped ’69 Dart.
