Funny. I owned a Dart Lite for about a year. Bought it for $300 late '80s and sold it for $300 a year later. I remember nothing about it other than "3 on the tree". Linkage was so bad I had to carry a tire iron in the front seat to reach underneath and bang the linkage to get it to shift sometimes.
