1963 Dodge Dart Unmolested/Original Owner

Description

Up for auction is an unmolested, original owner 1963 Dodge Dart GT. The car is an original fully functional survivor used as a daily driver. This car sports a 270 Slant Six under the hood with a push-button automatic. The interior is original with sport buckets and GT emblems. The car originally came from California and then migrated to the Arizona climate with it's owner. The body has minimal damage with no major rust. There is indication of rust bubbling through thelower rear wheel wells and the lower corner of the drivers side trunk area. (see pictures). The drivers side front quarter trim has been damaged and is included with some spare parts including the original "black" California plates. The paint is faded but original. The passenger side of the car was repainted at some time and looks to be clear coated. The owner explains that a bicycle ran into that side of the car and scratched it, requiring the touch up. The frame is straight and rust-free as is the trunk area. The floorboards are original and in good condition. The car starts and runs, steering is good as are the brakes. The push-button transmission operates as it should. The engine was rebuilt about 6 years ago. Unfortunately, the documentation for the rebuild has been misplaced. A new speedometer cable has been ordered and will come with the car. The car has a clean Arizona title.
This car is quite the "barn find" as these models are somewhat rare. In researching the car, I found that the 1963 Dart was available with either a 170 or 225 Slant -Six motor. Transmissions were the A-904 Torque-flight automatic or a three-speed manual. The 904 was shifted with push buttons on the dash, the transmission uses cables to select the gear. The top of the line car was the Dart GT, which was essentially the same as the lower models but with a padded instrument panel, wheel covers and bucket seats. In 1963, Dodge made 51,300 Darts with the 170, 55,300 with the 270 and 34,300 Dart GT's. Three trim levels were offered: the low-spec 170, the high-spec 270 and the premium GT, which was available only as a 2-door hardtop or convertible. The Slant-Six 270 is a 225 cu in (3.7 L) 145 hp option that cost an additional $50 in 1963.
