1963 Dodge Dart Gt Convertible, Beautiful Car With A Pushbutton Automatic on 2040-cars
Plymouth, Connecticut, United States
|
Hello and thanks for viewing my listing! I would love to
talk to you before you click the Buy-it-Now so please message me with a phone
number first. I want to be sure you know what you are getting and are serious
about your offer. You should want to talk to me or any other seller before bidding
and making offers. Lowball offers will be ignored so please don't waste your
time. The price is my bottom dollar and represents a large loss to me. This car
is listed locally and could sell at any minute and the auction will be removed
so please let me know if you have interest.
Up for sale today is my beautiful and rare 1963 Dodge Dart
GT convertible. This car is ready to enjoy today. This is a fantastic family
fun machine that runs and drives excellent. It has been enhanced by the
addition of POWER DISK BRAKES with a dual chamber master cylinder which is a
MAJOR upgrade over the original drum brakes with a single master cylinder. The
car only has 72,000 miles on it and sports the largest engine available in the
Dart for 1963 and it runs like a watch. It also has the ultra-cool pushbutton
automatic that shifts smoothly through the gears (3 speed transmission) and has
a rebuilt front suspension to glide down the road.
Before I further describe the car, I want to be clear about
a few things:
THIS IS NOT A DISTRESS SALE. I can afford to keep this car indefinitely.
I have run out of room so I have to let some cars go. I may be willing to let
someone pay me over a short period of time (3 months MAX), no interest, but I
own 100% of the car and paperwork until it is 100% paid for. And you will have
to convince me you aren’t going to be a problem before I will do this.
I find that about 80% of sellers of vintage cars on eBay are
re-sellers. Ask yourself, is someone who needs to make money on a car to feed
their family going to disclose everything about the cars they sell? And if you
find a seller who "needs money" is he or she going to be completely
honest? Be very, very careful of those vehicles with short descriptions and/or only a few pictures.....
Which is most of them. People lie.... And sell here because they hope to snag a
buyer who can't see the car in person.... I am going to fully disclose what I know
about this car, even if it is at my own peril.
I am not interested in ANY trades of ANY kind. Sorry, my garage is overflowing already. Anyone who tries to scam me or hurt me will find out what their genitals taste like. Be decent to me and we will get along fine. I am not a kid and I am not an old geezer. I have a family and a full time job so please be respectful that my time is limited.
Please READ the WHOLE story and look at all the pictures
BEFORE you make an offer…. I have written an awful lot to prevent a
misunderstanding. Please read on if you are serious…
I took this car in trade on my 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner. I
really like this little car and I will keep it if it does not sell for my
bargain-basement price. I have to sell a couple of cars but this one does not
have to be one of them. I have no emotional attachment to this car so I have
put it up for sale along with one other and I have a few more that may or may
not follow. I haven’t owned it long and have only driven it around the block so
I do not know everything about it but it runs, drives and looks great. The pictures tell the story well. This car has a gorgeous nearly perfect interior and convertible top. It is powered by the Super 225 cubic inch version of the legendary Slant Six and the engine has been gone through as well. It has loads of torque and moves the car briskly and with great smoothness. It has one of the nicest engine compartments that I have ever seen and the trunk (which is HUGE) is just as nice. It even has a really nice, high-quality top boot that you can see in the pictures. It runs great, never gets hot, and should get 20-25 MPG. It has the original AM radio (not working) and an aftermarket CD/MP3/tuner with a remote nicely mounted in the glovebox. It is not a real high end system but it sounds nice. The previous owner so loved this car that he named it Jamis and painted the name on the glovebox door. I would just leave it, it was so nicely done, but you could remove it or paint over it.
The bodywork and paint are driver quality - a 10 to 20
footer – perfect for a family car. The panels could be aligned better and the
paint could be better in some areas but it has great color and gloss. Not a
show car but nothing you’d be embarrassed driving. People hang out the window
and all stop and stare because they don’t know what the hell it is…. I had
never seen one in person before. Have you? Fortunately the running gear is the
same as a Valiant and they made a gazillion of those.
All of the glass is excellent and the windows all roll up
and down properly. All of the trim is in very good to excellent condition. The
convertible top and plastic rear window are very good to excellent. The top is power
operated and works perfectly. The engine runs beautifully and has a nice new
Flowmaster exhaust with a nice deep growl to it. The car has power steering and
the aforementioned power brakes so it is very easy to drive. If you have never
experienced a pushbutton automatic you simply must before you die. It’s the
coolest… thing… ever….
The wheels and tires are new or almost new. They will last
forever given typical classic car use. Those are high quality performance tires
from Falken on there too! The car is a pure joy to drive and I am torn to see it go. I would not hesitate to get in it and drive to California tomorrow. Here is a list of WHAT WORKS on this car:
Headlights - high and low beam; parking lights; brake
lights; turn signals; horn; power top control; temperature gage; wipers, stereo; emergency
or parking brake; speedometer; fuel gage. I have a clear, blank Indiana title for this car. No name in buyer’s section. So registration anywhere will not be a problem for anyone, anywhere.
I do not have time
for tire kickers, chat pals or lookey-loos but I will gladly show anyone the
car BEFORE they click buy-it-now. I would prefer it if at all possible. Any
inspection BEFORE an offer is welcome.
This car is well worth what I am asking – I have priced it
to sell quickly and at a loss to me. This is a car for a person who wants to
drive something different and be surrounded by admirers at every stop.
Classic car ownership is very cheap. Here in Connecticut,
fixed costs per year are $40 for early American plates; around $20 for taxes
($500 tax assessment is MANDATORY); and Hagerty Classic Auto Insurance is
around $120 a year for FULL coverage. So for about $200 (about $0.60 a day!)
you can enjoy making the coolest sound ever made by a vehicle while taking your
girl (or guy!) out for ice cream all summer long. And get more smiles per mile
than a new Corvette. I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t own a classic car
– I own a bunch and if my garage were bigger I’d keep this one! Classic cars are a great investment. According to Knight Frank's Wealth Report, collectible cars were the top-performing collectible asset with prices surging 23-percent in the 12-months ending in the third quarter of 2012, and posting gains of 395-percent over 10-years. Google it if you don't believe me.
FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: The car is located about 100 miles
from New York and New Jersey shipping ports. I would estimate it would cost
around $500 to get the car down there. You will have to handle the broker and
pay for everything of course. Send me your phone number and I will gladly ask any questions that you may have. I sincerely want the buyer to be happy with this car. If you plan to ship the car I will do my best to hand the car off to the shipper and take condition pictures as it goes on the truck in case something happens. I highly recommend Montway for shipping – they get the job done and always have the lowest price. Over a short distance, try UShip. Thank you for your time.

Chrysler recalling nearly half a million Durangos and Grand Cherokees
Fri, Feb 27 2015Rule number one of public relations – save the bad news for Friday. Fiat Chrysler has adhered to that, announcing today that it'd be voluntarily recalling 467,480 SUVs. This latest recall could actually be thought of as a continuation of a September 2014 recall, relating to the fuel-cell relay. In that case, some 188,723 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee CUVs from model year 2011 were recalled. And this time, it's the Durango and GC in trouble again. FCA is adding crossovers from model years 2012 and 2013 to the fuel-pump recall, although only diesel-powered Jeeps with the 3.0-liter V6 that were sold outside of North America are affected this time around. As with the previous recall, deformities in the fuel-pump relay, which could affect its functioning. In most cases, FCA reports that the affected vehicles simply won't start, although they also could be prone to stalling. A new relay circuit will be installed that promises increase durability. Of the 467,480 vehicles being recalled, 338,216 were sold in the US market, 18,991 went to Canada and 10,829 were shipped south of the border, to Mexico. Outside of the NAFTA region, FCA is recalling 99,444 vehicles. No injuries or accidents have been associated with this recall. Statement: Fuel-Pump Relay February 27, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 467,480 SUVs worldwide to install new a relay circuit that improves fuel-pump relay durability. FCA US engineers have determined a condition identified in a previous investigation may extend to additional vehicles. The previous investigation, which led to a recall, traced a pattern of repairs to fuel-pump relays that are susceptible to deformation. This may affect fuel-pump function, preventing a vehicle from starting, or leading to engine stall. Of the two scenarios, the no-start condition is the more common. FCA US is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. The fuel-pump relay is located inside the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), which also helps manage other vehicle functions. None of these other functions, including air-bag deployment, is affected by the fuel-pump relay. The new campaign affects an estimated 338,216 vehicles in the U.S.; 18,991 in Canada; 10,829 in Mexico and 99,444 outside the NAFTA region. Covered are model-year 2012 and 2013 Dodge Durango full-size SUVs and non-NAFTA 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee mid-size SUVs equipped with 3.0-liter diesel engines.
NHTSA investigating Ram 1500 models for rear differential failure
Mon, 30 Jun 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and its Ram brand following a number of reports regarding the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup. According to 15 consumer complaints, the trucks' rear differential locked up while in other cases, the driveshaft separated at its connection to the diff.
Nearly half of the reports claim the truck was traveling at or above 50 miles per hour, while two consumers reported that the diff lockup/driveshaft separation sent their pickups into a spin. Most troubling, though, is that consumers reported little to no sound indicating there was a problem with their truck.
We reached out to Ram for additional information, such as how many vehicles may be affected or what equipment might be fitted that could cause the issue. Unfortunately, the company wasn't willing to elaborate on specifics.
