Spectacular and rarely seen on roads today, this 1961 Dodge Dart
Phoenix coupe with an astounding 26,827 believed-actual miles comes
finished in Vermilion Red with gorgeous bodywork featuring sweeping
curves and signature fins that defined American automotive design.
Long, sleek, and with proportions that still look incredible
decades later, this classic Mopar features clean lines, a
distinctive front grille, and those unmistakable rear fins that
make it instantly recognizable. The 15" black rims with specially
crafted chrome hub caps provide the perfect contrast, while
215/70R15 front and 255/70R15 rear Hankook tires from 2022 complete
the package.
Inside awaits a red vinyl and cloth bench seat interior that
perfectly matches the exterior color scheme. Original style dash
houses factory instrumentation plus a trio of AutoMeter gauges
mounted below for additional engine monitoring. The red-painted
under-dash AC unit blows ice cold for modern comfort during summer
drives. Entertainment comes from a JVC AM/FM/CD audio system with
USB and auxiliary inputs while an amplifier and subwoofer in the
trunk provide improved sound quality. Black carpet and a
well-fitted headliner round out the cabin.
Lifting the hood reveals a beautifully installed rebuilt 392 HEMI
V8 engine that replaced the original slant-six. The immaculate
engine bay features an Optima battery and newer radiator with
clutch fan. A 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission manages the
substantial power output, directing it to the 8-3/4 rear end. The
driving experience is enhanced with electric power steering, front
disc brakes with dual master cylinder, and a custom dual exhaust
system that produces a pleasing exhaust note without excessive
volume.
