This is a 1963 Dodge Dart GT Convertible.  This maybe the most complete 1963 GT convertible existing today.  You can find junk 270s and Frankenstein GTs although a true complete 1963 GT convertible is extremely rare.  This is a true California car please see the stack of California registrations, this includes the original 1963 California registration.  I have the original vin number matching warranty book signed Christmas 1962 and picked up New Years day 1963.  An additional 30+ years of California registrations, the vintage operators manual and Dealer promo hand out.  I have owned the car for 6 years and have brought it back its original 1963 standards.  It is original paint and it does have chips and scratches.  All of stainless trim, mirrors, handles, badges belong to this car right down to the lighter.  It has miraculously never been molested. 

I have just completed a long block on a true 1963 block and have added hardened valves so will run great on unleaded.  The engine was professionally rebuilt and installed and has less than 500 miles on it. It is the Famous 225 Slant Six the largest motor offered this year for the Dart.  The 273 did not come into production until 1964 for the Dart.  The receipts will be included.  The interior and new top was completed by Rocket Restorations of Olympia.  Check out their web site, they are a premiere MOPAR restoration shop.  It has the original push button transmission.  The exhaust is new from the manifold to the Flowmaster muffler all the way to the stainless tip. The points have been replaced with a Pertronix ignition kit.  I will include a complete book that includes 50 years of documentation to the current day.  This car has a true pedigree.  

Still to go, it could use a new sending unit for the gas gauge although averages about 23 mpg.  I have the book with every fill up over the last six years.  The rag top is counter balanced so manually goes up and down easily by one person.  The electric top has a new motor installed although new rams would be required if the next owner wanted to install.   

This car is a true pleasure to drive and a fun dependable head turner.

How to tune a car right: Part 3, tuning Mopar with OST Dyno

Sun, Jan 23 2022

Not long ago, I wrote a story about a pony car tuned with a supercharger. The blower install had been done properly. Then the car's owner bolted on a set of great looking wheels wrapped in good looking but inexpensive rubber. On my first test drive, I couldn't get any of that supercharged sweetness to the ground. It was the perfect ride for parking in a Burger King parking lot on a Friday night. I tooled around on a Sunday drive, shaking my head that someone had spent five figures to get more power the right way, with a clean install, then wiped out the gains so thoroughly that the stock engine would likely have overwhelmed the tires. This got me thinking about the ways people ruin their quest for horsepower, either on the front end by not insisting on a clean install and paying the money for it, or on the back end with supplemental purchases like cheap tires or cheap gas. So I called three tuners, one focused on GM, one on Mopar, one on Ford, to find out what people should know about how to get the best power for their goals, and how to make sure they are able to use all that power. The first interview in this three-part series was with Blake Leonard at Top Speed Cincy in Cincinnati, Ohio, the second with Brandon Alsept at BA Motorsports in Milford, Ohio. This third and last interview is with Micah Doban at OST Dyno in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, a family business with more than 40 years of Mopar expertise specializing in Gen III Hemis, but tuning everything from land-speed cars and drag racers to Jeeps The interview has been edited for clarity and concision. Do people who come to OST generally know what they want? Probably 80% of the people who come in simply want more power with no particular ET goal [ET is a kind of bracket handicapped drag racing – ed.]. WhatÂ’s the best way to start a Mopar tune? The first thing is what people often skip, and that's to find a tuner or a shop. People will throw parts on their cars that the Internet said to, then go to a tuner who does things a different way, and [the tuner is] like ‘No we don't like to use these injectors, we don't like these parts.Â’ You have to find someone familiar with the parts that are on your car or that you're planning to put on your car. So having a goal and then finding a tuner who can help you with that goal is proper way to start. Exactly. And a lot of tuners have their own formula – and when I say tuner I mean someone that also does work to the cars.

Chrysler recalling 278,222 trucks and SUVs over bad rear axles

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

Chrysler has issued a recall of 278,222 light trucks and sport utility vehicles here in the United States. The reason: bad rear axles. Specifically, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the rear axle pinion nut may lack a necessary adhesive patch, which could cause the nut to loosen. If this happens, the axle can lock up, which could cause all sorts of havoc on the road.
This is an expansion of the rear axle recall announced in October of last year, where 44,300 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota models were being called in. At that time, 12 accidents had been reported due to the faulty axle pinion nut.
Affected vehicles include Ram 1500 trucks from the 2009 to 2012 model years, Dodge Dakota models from the 2009 to 2011 model years, and both the Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango SUV twins, both from the 2009 model year only.

Dodge Durango SRT is much cheaper than Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT

Fri, Jul 7 2017

Dodge has finally announced availability and pricing for the 475-horsepower Dodge Durango SRT. The Detroit-built SUV will start at $64,090 and hit dealer lots toward the end of the year. It's not a cheap SUV by any means, but you get a lot for the money: including 470 pound-feet of torque, and all-wheel-drive. Plus it has three rows of seats and can tow 8,600 pounds. Not only that, but it's basically the best performance SUV deal from the Fiat-Chrysler group. The Grand Cherokee SRT, with the same engine, costs almost $4,000 more at $67,990. The Durango SRT outperforms the Grand Cherokee in several key areas, too. It's 0.4 seconds quicker to 60 mph and manages to break into the 12s in the quarter-mile whereas the Grand Cherokee is stuck in the mid-13-second range. The Durango can also tow an extra 1,400 pounds, has an extra row of seats, and has more maximum cargo space with the seats. So unless you just really love the Jeep look and brand, the Durango SRT seems like the logical choice. And if either still isn't potent enough, just wait for the upcoming Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. Regardless of your choice of SRT vehicle, you'll still come away with a really powerful SUV, as well as a day of instruction at the Bob Bondurant driving school in Arizona.
