What makes it a clone besides the hood scoop?

Nothing! Guess the 023 is an animal of it's own.. It doesn't have a fiberglass front end and the rest of the panels were not dipped in acid to lighten the weight. It's automatic - I think all the 023 had 4 speeds. It supposedly had a 426 cross ram hemi before the 383 was installed. It does have the gas tank filler gone and doesn't have a radio or heater. To me it just has that look. You can omit if you want. Actually I think I'm going to take this off the market. I've never driven it and thought I would put it on the streets to work out any potential bugs before selling. I would hate for someone to buy this and be disappointed. I also want to shave some weight off the back tires.

I have owned 3 L023 Darts (Two were brand new)

Two were Automatics with 8 3/4 rears and 4:86 gears
One was 4 Speed with Danas and 4:88 gears

I have to check the gear ratio and report back. Took some new picture the other day.

No Sir.

They were both Automatics and 4 Speeds.
I have owned both.

Got some plates/insurance for the Dart yesterday and am going to start driving it once in a while. Will try to get a video of it in operation. This should be a fun ride - can't wait.
