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.

Has Dodge stepped in it again with Scat Pack lawsuit?
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Lawsuits are an unfortunate part of doing business in just about any industry, so the latest complaint filed by a California-based aftermarket firm against Chrysler would seem to be nothing more than business as usual. But this isn't the first time the two companies have sparred over this particular issue.
According to a report from Automotive News, the dispute revolves around the Scat Pack name that Chrysler first offered on the Charger, Coronet, Dart and Super Bee starting in 1968. Scat Enterprises, a manufacturer of crankshafts and other components for Dodges and other vehicles, sued Chrysler for using its name. A few years later the Scat Pack disappeared from the Dodge catalog.
Fast forward to August 2013 when Chrysler applied to register the Scat Pack name anew. The US Patent and Trademark Office turned down Chrysler's application, but the automaker proceeded anyway, unveiling new Scat Packs for the Challenger, Charger and Dart at last year's SEMA show.
Chrysler recalling 780k minivans over fire risk
Fri, 09 May 2014Chrysler is recalling 780,000 of its Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2010 to 2014 model years due to the possibility of circuits overheating, which can lead to a fire. Of the 780,000 total vans being recalled, Chrysler estimates that 644,850 are in the US, 106,980 are in Canada, 8,009 are in Mexico, and 20,638 are in other markets. All of the affected vehicles were built between August 25, 2010 and October 31, 2013.
Chrysler's engineers discovered that beverage spills or exposure to moisture (from rain, snow, car washes, and the like) were linked to circuits shorting in the window switch assembly. Short circuits can overheat, and thus, cause a fire.
Chrysler will contact owners and let them know when they may schedule service, at which point, the window switches will be replaced. In the interim, the automaker says that owners may visit their dealers after May 14 to have the switches disconnected.
Dodge revives Challenger T/A and Charger Daytona trims for 2017
Tue, Aug 16 2016Dodge is reviving the Challenger's T/A trim and the Charger's Daytona line for 2017. Introduced on iconic Woodward Avenue just days before the annual Woodward Dream Cruise kicks off, the new variants promise more performance hardware and sportier aesthetics. We'll start with the two-door. The Challenger T/A, available with either the R/T trim's 5.7-liter V8 or the fire-breathing 6.4-liter Hemi V8, is inspired by the Challenger T/As of old. That means a less restrictive, 2.75-inch active exhaust system and a conical Mopar air filter. But there's no clear bump in output – Dodge still lists the base 5.7-liter at 375 horsepower and the 6.4-liter model at 485 hp. But hey, they're going to look cooler. Unlike the Challenger Hellcat, which should have it as standard, Dodge is including a Satin Black hood on every Challenger T/A. In fact, Satin Black is a recurring theme on this Challenger's front fascia, roof, rear decklid, and T/A bodyside stripes. And yes, the 20-inch Mopar wheels are black, too – they're also an inch wider than normal. Dodge is offering the T/A in three different trims. The base T/A has everything we described above, while the T/A Plus adds some comfort features like heated and vented Nappa leather seats, an 8.4-inch UConnect system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a six-speaker stereo, and a shortcut button for the Dodge Performance Pages. The T/A 392, meanwhile, adds the 6.4-liter V8, even wider wheels, and Brembo six-pot calipers. If you prefer smoking tires with four doors, there's the new Charger Daytona. No, there's not an enormous wing on the back. But Dodge added the same kind of engine/exhaust upgrades found on the T/A while upping the top speed from 135 to 150 miles per hour. Satin Black features prominently again, with hood and rear fender graphics. The roof is also black. Unlike the Challenger, Dodge is only offering two different versions of the Daytona – the 5.7-liter base model and the 6.4-liter version, called the Daytona 392. Prices for the Challenger T/A start at $38,485, including a $1,095-destination charge, while the T/A Plus adds $2,750. Adding the 392 means shelling out $45,090. For the Daytona, you'll need a check for $40,985 for the 5.7-liter or $46,090 for the 6.4-liter. Orders for the Charger Daytona open in September, while the T/A is a month later. Related Video:
