An aftermarket tachometer is mounted cleanly in the dash and a new Alpine CD player is installed with speakers integrated into the rear parcel shelf. The rest of the gauges are in working condition, though the fuel gauge only reads 3/4 tank when full.
The speedometer recently stopped working and a new cable failed to resolve the issue, so the problem is likely with the speedo itself. The interior is in good condition and benefits from a number of upgrades including modern seats on the original seat tracks, a wood rimmed steering wheel, and new carpet, headliner, door seals, dash pad cover and rear package tray.

The car wears a black California “year of manufacture” license plate which will be included with the car. The front and rear bumpers have been rechromed and a new windshield with fresh seals was recently installed. Surface rust is visible below the rear bumper and in several areas along the lower driver’s side of the car. The paint shows its age with a number of flaws visible in the gallery photos but still presents well overall. The exterior retains a stock aesthetic with the original exterior trim intact.

The car is said to be a well sorted driver great for a relaxed summer cruise, and with the performance upgrades it’s more than capable of keeping up at a fast paced road rally. The interior has been enhanced with a number of replacement parts and modern creature comforts, and the exterior is in fair condition with a nice patina on the older paint job. The 225ci slant 6 was recently rebuilt and has a performance camshaft, 4-barrel Holley carburetor, and aftermarket exhaust. If you can't bring yourself to respond on that basis, remember it's Christmastime and be nice Slanta Claus is watching you.This 1963 Dodge Dart GT has been upgraded and modified for use in road rallies and is a veteran of the 2015 California Melee.
Legitimate questions deserve legitimate, thoughtful answers.
1963 dodge dart manual#
When's the last time you saw a manual transmission in a '63 Dart that has a pan, let alone a pan gasket? And you think a newbie has any idea what the heck a "pb" transmission is? That's not helpful. The mechanic said there's a transmission pan gasket leak. What you're advising is a surefire recipe for big-dollar, endless "feature creep" and a never-completed project car (talk about a string-along!), when all the OP wants is some guidance and experienced eyes on the reported list of rather minor, readily fixable issues with the car. A leaking rear main seal does not necessitate an engine rebuild, and a leaking transmission pan gasket and speedo pinion O-ring sure as hell do not warrant pulling and overhauling the transmission. Fixing them individually is perfectly reasonable, and not a string-along. The mechanic is trying to string him along? No, the mechanic listed plausible problems with the car. And winding up with a different kind of steering which the owner of this car never said he wants. Why you gotta be like that?Įliminate a P/S leak by ripping out the power steering system and converting to manual steering? Swapping to manual steering means not only still having to buy a steering box (used ones = worn out rebuilt ones cost about as much as a rebuilt power steering box) but also buying a different steering column or steering shaft or buying a (surprisingly costly) adaptor. The original poster is new and sincerely asking for help.
