Vehicle description
1963 Dodge Dart GT California Patina car with original black plates. I bought this car 3 years ago (it had been sitting for 15years) and spent a year building it into a daily driver. I have driven 7,000miles in the last 2 years. I wasplanning on keeping it and maybe converting it to electric down the road, butthings have changed and it’s time to move on. 45,XXX miles (I assume 145,XXX) This is a great running daily driver, but we should get this out the way: The differential is making noise. It still runs and drivesand does all the things for you to drive it, but it will need to bereplaced soon. I was contemplating either rebuilding the 7.25 diff or replacingit with the 8.75 because of greater reliability and available parts. But sinceI am selling it, it will be up to you to make that decision. Things that I have installed that are not stock/ are modern: Petronix electronic ignition Viper remote door locks Electric radiator fan with adjustable temp setting Modern halogen headlights with dual relays Modern stereo w/two new rear speakers Solid state 6V converter for dashboard gauges Radiator overflow bottle Fuel line rerouted for ease of valve cover removal/coolingof fuel Things that I have rebuilt or replaced in this car: 3.7L 225 slant six motor rebuilt with 20-over pistons,balanced. It runs smooth and strong. (original spec was 150hp and 225 torque.)
(note: I have not driven this car much in the last 8 months, and recently driving it there has been a missfire at idle when the car is hot, it runs smooth and strong while driving, but sitting and idling it has a small missfire.) Everything repainted Chrysler red. New water pump, hoses, thermostat, cap, rotor, wires,reusable rubber valve cover gasket, uprated intake/exhaust gasket. New radiator (I have the original, it needs rewelding andcore, comes with car.) New Carter BBS carburetor, with new choke mechanism and rubber for throttle. Rebuilt transmission, with new torque converter. New speedo cable and gear (the gear for the correct speed is not available) Rebuilt 35 amp alternator with new rectifier. Fuseable link removed and replaced with 50A circuit breaker. Rebuilt power steering pump with new hoses. New wiring in the engine compartment with the bulkheadconnector completely rebuilt. All new brake system, with late 60’s Mopar dual master, newlines, cylinders, four new drums, shoes and hardware. Interstate battery. Reseal fuel tank sender with new ground strap, inlet hoserubber and new gas cap. This car had rust from sitting at the bottom of the doorsand behind the rear wheels, all of it was cut out and welded in new metal. Repainted the 14 inch Rallye wheels, installed new Yokohamatires. (the spare in the trunk is an original 13 inch rim, as a 14 inch tirewould not fit in the spare tire space.) New rubber seal on engine cowl. New rear suspension bushings. New shocks all around. Rebuilt speedometer (although it does not read correctlybecause of different tire sizes and correct gear not available.) Rebuilt fuel gauge to use modern solid state 6V converterfor gauges. (Note that the fuel and temp gauges work great, but they donot read exactly as it says on the gauge.) Repaired reverse light switch. Removed and adjusted/repaired heater box, with new foam, soeverything works correctly. Rebuilt windshield wipers. There were two rust spots in the floor, so I replaced allthe floorboards. When replacing the floorboards, I moved both the front seatsback 1 inch to give more room when driving. While doing this I found the original factory “CarProduction Broadsheet” under the carpet in the passenger footwell. This car wasmade in Los Angeles. Replace carpets, including heat/sound deadening under thecarpet. Rebuild seat runners. All new seat covers and foam. –* *Although I am hugely disappointedbecause after 2 years in the sun in LA they have already started to fade.* *— New headliner, including heat/sound deadening under theheadliner. Clean and lube all the door window hardware, install plasticrain sheets under the door panels. Installed 3 point seatbelts in the front. (it still has the2 point in the back.) Custom welded together drinks holder/cubby between theseats. All wiring in the trunk replaced with rebuilt reverse lightsinstalled. All black carpet in trunk. New trunk seal. Included is the 1963 Dart Manual, a transmission manual, aswell as extra carpet, extra wiper blades, extra Viper remote, and a tub full ofextra/spare parts. The paint speaks for itself; I assume it is original, except along the bottom ¼ of the car which was touched up after rust removal.
