1960 Dodge Pioneer

Offered for sale is this extremely rare 1960 Dodge Pioneer 2 door post.  This was the very first year for the Dodge Dart and the uni-body construction.  This beautiful example from the Chrysler Design Team of yesteryears, although pretty much the last year for the big fins from Mr. Exner's vision.  This stunning automobile shows only 44,069 low miles on the odometer (unknown for sure if the mileage is original, but the condition of the car certainly does support the low mileage, as does the statement from the previous owner).

This very nice and rare Mopar did receive a very substantial cosmetic restoration a few years ago by the previous owner who had purchased the car in the early 70's.  The car was repainted it's original color, a spruce green metallic with a white top.  Most of the chrome was re-plated and the stainless steel trim work was polished.  The interior was completely re-done as well, in a light jade green that very nicely compliments the attractive two-tone paint scheme.  After enjoying the car for awhile, the owner put it in storage for a few years.  The exterior paint still looks amazing, but there are a couple of very minor blemishes, scratches and imperfections that are normally seen on older restored drivers.  The bumpers, sill plates and other components were re-chromed again last year and are absolutely gorgeous.  All the stainless steel and aluminum trim is in excellent shape.  Some of the pot metal has very minor pitting which is normal and to be expected on any older car.

The 318 V8 engine fires right up and purrs like a kitten.  The push button Power Flite automatic transmission shifts very smoothly.  The car runs and drives really, really nicely and is an absolute pleasure to drive.  All the brakes were rebuilt by the previous owner  a couple of years ago (new wheel cylinders, shoes, rebuilt mast cylinders, etc.).  The glass is in great condition and most of the weather strip seals and rubber were replaced.  All the electrical components work, except the radio.  Even the foot pedal operating the windshield wipers works! 

The aftermarket "mag" wheels and near new steel belted Kelly Charger P225 70 R 15 tires are a nice cosmetic and utilitarian addition to this very sharp looking car.  I don't have the original wheels, but I have the original tires (Remington Cushion-Aire Poly 4ply Polyester Tubeless 478)! and they have very good tread still, but are quite a bit older and probably should only be used for display or collecting purposes.  I also have a set of four original14" hubcaps, which the previous owner had left in the trunk. I think the car would look even better and more original with the hubcaps and while walled tires.  A set of 14" steel wheels should not be too hard to find.

This very nice and attractive classic car does not need much, if anything at all and is ready to go as a great and enjoyable driver.  You are welcome to come and inspect the car for yourself and appreciate it.  A copy of the older - but original -  build sheet found in the car will also be included!  This gorgeous automobile is attractively and reasonably priced and has an easily attainable and equally reasonable reserve as well.

This older restored Mopar - First year of the Dodge Dart - is well worth the investment and will be a very nice and smart addition to any car collection. You would be hard pressed to find AND restore a car at this price level and enjoy if immediately as a really cool driver that you can take to cruises, car shows, etc.
