Variants of the North American Dodge Dart (using the same 111 in (2819 mm) wheelbase but different sheet metal) were produced in Argentina from 1968 to 1980 by Chrysler Fevre Argentina, as the Dodge Polara, Coronado sedans, R/T, and GTX coup? and were available with a 225 cubic inch inline Slant-6 (3.7 liter), diesel and 318 cubic inch V8 ? a rarity in Argentina, as most cars were 4 cyl or 6-cyl ? and three- and four-speed manual and automatic transmissions. The general impression of these cars, witch where designed entirely in Argentina, are that they look like the 1968 Plymouth Satellite for the sedan and the Dodge Charger?Plymouth Road Runner for the coup?, but they are smaller (although larger than the Dodge Dart). However, the interior, especially the dashboard, remind you of the early 70s Dodge Dart?Plymouth Valiant. These coupes were not available in large numbers, but are collected by some purists and are hard to sell, since gas consumption is high, compared to the 4- and 6-cylinder cars the Argentine consumer is used to. Several restyling jobs of the whole line with new front and rear ends were carried out within its lifetime.
An automobile magazine, Corsa, road-tested a Polara GTX coup? with a V8 rated at 212 HP at 4400 rpm, 308 lb/ft at 2600 rpm and 8.5:1 compression ratio and obtained 189 km/h (117 mph) of top speed and 10.2 seconds from 0?100 km/h (0?62 mph).
There was also a version of this model built in the 70's as a CKD known as the Dodge 3700GT in Spain (Incidentally, one of these cars is seen in the first Batman movie directed by Tim Burton, as it was filmed in the U.K. but they obtained American cars for this film, although the 3700 GT was never sold in the U.S. so it's a pseudo-American car).
