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.

Autoblog's guilty pleasure cars
Tue, Mar 10 2015Guilty pleasures are part of life – don't even try to pretend like you don't have one (or two, or six). In the non-automotive space, this could come down to that secret playlist in your iPhone of songs you'll only listen to when you're alone; or think of that one TV show you really do love, but won't admit to your friends. I've got plenty, and so do you. Going back to cars, here's a particularly juicy one for me: several years ago, I had a mad crush on the very last iteration of the Cadillac DTS. Oh yes, the front-wheel-drive, Northstar V8-powered sofa-on-wheels that was the last remaining shred of the elderly-swooning days of Cadillac's past. Every time I had the chance to drive one, I was secretly giddy. Don't hate me, okay? These days, the DTS is gone, but I've still got a mess of other cars that hold a special place in my heart. And in the spirit of camaraderie, I've asked my other Autoblog editors to tell me some of their guilty pleasure cars, as well – Seyth Miersma, as you can see above, has a few choice emotions to share about the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Read on to find out what cars make us secretly happy. Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG This decadent convertible is the epitome of the guilty pleasure. It's big, powerful, fairly heavy and it's richly appointed inside and out. It's a chocolate eclair with the three-pointed star on the hood. Given my druthers, I'd take the SL65 AMG, which delivers 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. That output is borderline absurd for this laid-back convertible. I don't care. You don't need dessert. Sometimes you just crave it. The SL line is about the feel you get on the road. The roof is open. The air, sun and engine sounds all embrace you. It's the same dynamic you could have experienced in a Mercedes a century ago, yet the SL gives you the most modern of luxuries. An Airscarf feature that warms my neck and shoulders through a vent embedded in the seat? Yes, please. Sure, it's an old-guy car. Mr. Burns and Lord Grantham are probably too young and hip for an SL65. I don't care. This is my guilty pleasure. Release the hounds. – Greg Migliore Senior Editor Ford Flex I drove my first Flex in 2009 when my mother let me borrow hers for the summer while I was away at college. The incredibly spacious interior made moving twice that summer a breeze, and the 200-mile trips up north were quite comfortable.
Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures
Tue, Jun 23 2020It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.
Experience the New York Auto Show by drone
Fri, Apr 10 2015The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.
