A true survivor with an incredible family history, this 1963 Dodge
Dart One-Seventy represents the kind of honest, preserved classic
that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Remaining in the
same family since new, this Dart carries a unique story that makes
it even more special-the family originally won the car in a radio
call-in contest back in 1963 and has preserved it ever since.
Finished in Vermilion, an eye-catching orange/red factory color
that perfectly captures the spirit of the early 1960s, the car
maintains a clean and authentic appearance throughout. The body
retains its original sheet metal, something enthusiasts greatly
appreciate on unrestored and well-preserved classics. The overall
presentation reflects a car that has been cared for rather than
heavily altered, preserving its originality and charm.
Under the hood sits the dependable 170 cubic inch Slant-Six
inline-6 equipped with a 1-barrel carburetor, paired with a 3-speed
manual transmission. Known for durability and simplicity, the
Slant-Six has long been regarded as one of Chrysler's most reliable
engines. A new clutch has just been installed, helping ensure
smooth operation and making the car even more enjoyable to drive.
The car also benefits from a new fuel tank, adding reliability for
continued cruising.
Inside, the black vinyl bench seat interior remains true to the
car's original straightforward design. The cabin offers a nostalgic
driving experience with its simple layout and classic early-60s
styling cues. Everything about the car feels authentic and honest,
exactly what enthusiasts look for in a survivor-quality driver.
The Dart rides on 13-inch wheels wrapped in 175/70R13 tires and
retains its original-style suspension setup with independent front
suspension and rear leaf springs. Front and rear drum brakes
maintain the period-correct driving feel, while the lightweight
body and manual transmission make the car surprisingly enjoyable
and easy to drive.
This is the kind of classic that tells a story every time it's
shown or driven. From its one-family ownership and original sheet
metal to the unique radio contest history, it offers far more
character than an average restored car. It's an honest,
well-preserved piece of Mopar history and a great driver that is
ready to continue making memories for years to come.
