Vehicle description

Overview This car is an original highly optioned 1965 Dodge Dart GT. Factory 273 CI Four Barrel. Power Steering, Power Brakes, Optional Deluxe Steering Wheel, bumperettes, back up lights(they were an option in 1965) and Factory Airconditioning. Original color is Ruby Red with dark red metallic interior and White vinyl top. Pictured above is the IBM and documentation from Chrysler verifying the car. The car was made in Los Angeles close the same time frame as the 65 Dart Chargers. It spent most of its life in the Las Vegas, Texas and Utah area. Southwestern car so there was very little rust before restoration. The car was stripped, what small amount of rust it had was replaced with good metal and painted back to the original factory color. The car with few exceptions noted was restored back to original. The undercoating in the trunk and under the car is original. It was not resprayed. While this car is not perfect (not many are) this is one of the nicest 65 Dart GT’s that you will find especially with the amount of options is has and documented. It has more options that the 65 Dart Chargers. Interior The interior is completely new. New door panels, New headliner, new carpet, new sunvisors, new arms rests and bases. The original dash pad was sent to Just dashes and completely restored. The plastic instrument bezels were all sent to be completely restored. Engine The engine is currently a 1971 dated 318 that was bored .030 over. New pistons, cam, lifters. The motor has only about 200 miles on it and it runs great. I have a 1965 dated 273 engine that is included in the sale. Also included is a 1965 dated four barrel intake manifold. The exhaust system is from Accurate Exhaust Systems and is factory correct single exhaust with the stainless steel exhaust tip. It has a resonator and a muffler. Sounds great. Transmission The transmission is a A-904 cable shift transmission correct for 1965. It was totally rebuilt. It does have a slight leak around the cable selector and the parking cable needs to be adjusted slightly. Shifts and runs great. Also included in the sale is a spare A-904 cable shift transmission. These are not easy to get. Rearend Currently the rear end is a 3.23 geared limited slip 742 case Chrysler 8 ¾ differential. Originally it was a 7 ¼ rear end. I decided to replace the rear end since the 8 ¾ is a more reliable and stronger rear end. Wheels, Tires and Brakes The car now has the Chrysler large bolt pattern 4X4.5 bolt pattern. The rims are Keystone Klassics. The fronts are 15X7 and the rear is 15X8. The tires are all new . The rear brakes are now 10x2.5 drums. Everything is new. The front brakes are now converted to disc brakes. Bolt pattern again is 4.5 inch. Everything in the front is new. Suspension The suspension is all new. New ball joints, tie rods, pitman an idler arms. New upper control arms. The rear springs are new. Shocks are all completely new. Trim The bumpers are replated originals with factory bumperettes that are original to the car. The trim is pretty nice and repaired and straightened when possible. There is a couple pieces that may have slight blemish in them but overall pretty good. Trim for these cars are very difficult to get. Sound System Single factory style 4X10 in the dash. The radio is fabulous. It is the original radio that is converted to AM/FM with a input for USB and an AUX jack. So you can put your thumb drive and play your tunes or use your MPS player. Air Conditioning The air conditioning system has been completely been restored by Classic Auto Air. All the components are there. The system needs to be installed. I wanted to give the engine a change to break in before I installed it. It has all the hoses, lines, compressor, receiver dryer and all the hard to find 1965 air conditioning brackets and pulleys are present. It just needs to be installed. Also included is a spare condenser, receiver dryer and some lines and hoses. Cooling System Original correct number round top Chrysler radiator. It also has the correct fan shoud for air conditioned cars that has been powder coated. Also present is the correct clutch fan for Air conditioned cars.

Cash preferred but will take a certified bank check. All funds must clear before the car is moved.
