That's a 68 model ,first year of side marker lights.
I used to pick up those with a plugged up PCV valve, smoked terribly and burned a quart of oil in 400 miles, for $400, 40k miles.
Clean the valve, run a wood rod through the hose and wash them out in gas, Pull the valve cover, clean up the sludge, adjust the valves and tune it up, oil consumption went to a quart in over 1500 miles. Had a 67 Dart with the 170 slant 6 that got 28 MPG on the highway. LOL brazed surf board racks to the drip rails so no one could steal them.
One time I was at a beach near Parris Island and there were 6 Marines with a Duster stuck in the sand halfway up the rear wheels. They were killing themselves trying to push the car forward. I suggested they just pick the rear end up and move it over a foot. Thought I was going to get beat up until they figured out the advice was spot on.

I inherited my Pap’s 70 Dart, slant 6, 4 door in 1974. That car ran forever. Once you adjusted the valves you couldn’t hear it run. Great motor, coupled to the Torque-flight transmission.
