Hello and thanks for viewing my listing! I would love to
talk to you before you click the Buy-it-Now so please message me with a phone
number first. I want to be sure you know what you are getting and are serious
about your offer. You should want to talk to me or any other seller before bidding
and making offers. Lowball offers will be ignored so please don't waste your
time. The price is my bottom dollar and represents a large loss to me. This car
is listed locally and could sell at any minute and the auction will be removed
so please let me know if you have interest.
Up for sale today is my beautiful and rare 1963 Dodge Dart
GT convertible. This car is ready to enjoy today. This is a fantastic family
fun machine that runs and drives excellent. It has been enhanced by the
addition of POWER DISK BRAKES with a dual chamber master cylinder which is a
MAJOR upgrade over the original drum brakes with a single master cylinder. The
car only has 72,000 miles on it and sports the largest engine available in the
Dart for 1963 and it runs like a watch. It also has the ultra-cool pushbutton
automatic that shifts smoothly through the gears (3 speed transmission) and has
a rebuilt front suspension to glide down the road.
Before I further describe the car, I want to be clear about
a few things:
THIS IS NOT A DISTRESS SALE. I can afford to keep this car indefinitely.
I have run out of room so I have to let some cars go. I may be willing to let
someone pay me over a short period of time (3 months MAX), no interest, but I
own 100% of the car and paperwork until it is 100% paid for. And you will have
to convince me you aren’t going to be a problem before I will do this.
I find that about 80% of sellers of vintage cars on eBay are
re-sellers. Ask yourself, is someone who needs to make money on a car to feed
their family going to disclose everything about the cars they sell? And if you
find a seller who "needs money" is he or she going to be completely
honest? Be very, very careful of those vehicles with short descriptions and/or only a few pictures.....
Which is most of them. People lie.... And sell here because they hope to snag a
buyer who can't see the car in person.... I am going to fully disclose what I know
about this car, even if it is at my own peril.
I am not interested in ANY trades of ANY kind. Sorry, my garage is overflowing already. Anyone who tries to scam me or hurt me will find out what their genitals taste like. Be decent to me and we will get along fine. I am not a kid and I am not an old geezer. I have a family and a full time job so please be respectful that my time is limited.
Please READ the WHOLE story and look at all the pictures
BEFORE you make an offer…. I have written an awful lot to prevent a
misunderstanding. Please read on if you are serious…
I took this car in trade on my 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner. I
really like this little car and I will keep it if it does not sell for my
bargain-basement price. I have to sell a couple of cars but this one does not
have to be one of them. I have no emotional attachment to this car so I have
put it up for sale along with one other and I have a few more that may or may
not follow. I haven’t owned it long and have only driven it around the block so
I do not know everything about it but it runs, drives and looks great. The pictures tell the story well. This car has a gorgeous nearly perfect interior and convertible top. It is powered by the Super 225 cubic inch version of the legendary Slant Six and the engine has been gone through as well. It has loads of torque and moves the car briskly and with great smoothness. It has one of the nicest engine compartments that I have ever seen and the trunk (which is HUGE) is just as nice. It even has a really nice, high-quality top boot that you can see in the pictures. It runs great, never gets hot, and should get 20-25 MPG. It has the original AM radio (not working) and an aftermarket CD/MP3/tuner with a remote nicely mounted in the glovebox. It is not a real high end system but it sounds nice. The previous owner so loved this car that he named it Jamis and painted the name on the glovebox door. I would just leave it, it was so nicely done, but you could remove it or paint over it.
The bodywork and paint are driver quality - a 10 to 20
footer – perfect for a family car. The panels could be aligned better and the
paint could be better in some areas but it has great color and gloss. Not a
show car but nothing you’d be embarrassed driving. People hang out the window
and all stop and stare because they don’t know what the hell it is…. I had
never seen one in person before. Have you? Fortunately the running gear is the
same as a Valiant and they made a gazillion of those.
All of the glass is excellent and the windows all roll up
and down properly. All of the trim is in very good to excellent condition. The
convertible top and plastic rear window are very good to excellent. The top is power
operated and works perfectly. The engine runs beautifully and has a nice new
Flowmaster exhaust with a nice deep growl to it. The car has power steering and
the aforementioned power brakes so it is very easy to drive. If you have never
experienced a pushbutton automatic you simply must before you die. It’s the
coolest… thing… ever….
The wheels and tires are new or almost new. They will last
forever given typical classic car use. Those are high quality performance tires
from Falken on there too! The car is a pure joy to drive and I am torn to see it go. I would not hesitate to get in it and drive to California tomorrow. Here is a list of WHAT WORKS on this car:
Headlights - high and low beam; parking lights; brake
lights; turn signals; horn; power top control; temperature gage; wipers, stereo; emergency
or parking brake; speedometer; fuel gage. I have a clear, blank Indiana title for this car. No name in buyer’s section. So registration anywhere will not be a problem for anyone, anywhere.
I do not have time
for tire kickers, chat pals or lookey-loos but I will gladly show anyone the
car BEFORE they click buy-it-now. I would prefer it if at all possible. Any
inspection BEFORE an offer is welcome.
This car is well worth what I am asking – I have priced it
to sell quickly and at a loss to me. This is a car for a person who wants to
drive something different and be surrounded by admirers at every stop.
Classic car ownership is very cheap. Here in Connecticut,
fixed costs per year are $40 for early American plates; around $20 for taxes
($500 tax assessment is MANDATORY); and Hagerty Classic Auto Insurance is
around $120 a year for FULL coverage. So for about $200 (about $0.60 a day!)
you can enjoy making the coolest sound ever made by a vehicle while taking your
girl (or guy!) out for ice cream all summer long. And get more smiles per mile
than a new Corvette. I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t own a classic car
– I own a bunch and if my garage were bigger I’d keep this one! Classic cars are a great investment. According to Knight Frank's Wealth Report, collectible cars were the top-performing collectible asset with prices surging 23-percent in the 12-months ending in the third quarter of 2012, and posting gains of 395-percent over 10-years. Google it if you don't believe me.
FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: The car is located about 100 miles
from New York and New Jersey shipping ports. I would estimate it would cost
around $500 to get the car down there. You will have to handle the broker and
pay for everything of course. Send me your phone number and I will gladly ask any questions that you may have. I sincerely want the buyer to be happy with this car. If you plan to ship the car I will do my best to hand the car off to the shipper and take condition pictures as it goes on the truck in case something happens. I highly recommend Montway for shipping – they get the job done and always have the lowest price. Over a short distance, try UShip. Thank you for your time.

The Dodge Demon isn't the only way to a 10-second quarter mile
Tue, Jul 25 2017The Demon's rear tires smoke, the front tires lift – and in under ten seconds (after having spent $85,000) you've covered a quarter mile. In short, we fully get the attention shown Dodge's SRT Demonstrator. With disruption the operative word of the times, it's good to see a representative of the movement coming from Detroit. The SRT Demon delivers disruption in spades. There is, however, a viable alternative – and it doesn't require getting on the list at your Dodge dealer. If you want to do 0-60 in under three seconds or the quarter mile in around 10, the folks at Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha – with any of their one-liter superbikes – have you covered. The gestation of what we now know as the superbike came roughly a decade after the debut of the muscle car. It was in the early '70s, as emission and safety regulations – along with rising insurance premiums – decimated the ranks of Detroit's fastest that motorcycle makers found their magical, almost mystical momentum. Honda's CB750 four was arguably the first, followed soon by Kawasaki's Mach III and Z-1. After that, it was Katie-bar-the-door, with more horsepower offered by Japanese OEMs until, invariably, insurance premiums went higher and, during the last recession, 20-somethings couldn't get affordable loans or insurance. Today, Japan's Big Four are once again engaged in a horsepower war, fueled by the rising interest in MotoGP, along with the rising profits available when selling a $20,000 motorcycle. And if that $20,000 - $10K per wheel – seems high, simple math tells you it's less than half of what you'll spend per corner if buying Dodge's Demon. The specs tell the tale. The Demon, fattened by both its flared fenders and a platform dating from the George Bush administration, supports its 4,200+ pounds on a wheelbase of 116 inches. That's in contrast to Suzuki's GSX-R1000 – redesigned for 2017 – which puts its 443 pounds atop a wheelbase of just 56 inches. To maximize its Hemi-supplied 800+ horsepower, Dodge diverts the air conditioning from the Demon's interior to the engine, which makes racing on a summer evening (you guessed it) devilishly hot. On Suzuki's GSX-R1000 – or similarly-equipped superbikes – almost all of the air at 100+ miles per hour is directed at you. To further underscore the differences, know that the GSX-R1000 and its like-minded competition can turn a quick corner, while the Demon is hard-pressed to execute a U-turn at the end of a quarter-mile straightaway.
Mopar maneuvers into SEMA with a multitude of modified models
Wed, 05 Nov 2014As the aftermarket and performance arm of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Mopar has a duty to extract everything from the company's models that it can, and there's no better place to show all of its work off than the annual SEMA Show.
Dodge really gets in on the act this year with several customs to show off different parts of the brand's performance heritage. Perhaps the most interesting among them is the track-prepped Viper ACR Concept (pictured above). It wears a custom body kit to produce even more downforce, thanks in no small part to a monstrous wing at the back. To shed weight, most of the interior is stripped out, as well. Next up, the Challenger T/A Concept takes inspiration from '70s Trans-Am racing in a livery of Sublime Green and matte black paint. The center scoop in the hood keeps the 6.4-liter V8 fed with cool air, and the special's 20-by-9.5-inch matte black wheels keep it planted in the corners.
Also getting the once-over from Mopar is the Charger R/T. It wears the division's body kit, and under the hood, a cold-air intake keeps the 5.7-liter V8 breathing. The suspension is retooled to hold the road better with a coil-over kit, upgraded sway bars and strut tower braces for the front and rear. The company is also showing off a snazzy blue Charger with a mean look. The final Dodge getting work from Mopar is the Dart R/T Concept with bright, O-So-Orange paint and a matte black hood with a scoop hooked directly to the air intake. The performance-oriented design is finished off with a coil-over suspension and big brake kit, as well.
Chevy Corvette Stingray defeating rivals where it matters most
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Everything is coming up roses for the award-winning Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, as new data from the North American Dealers Association dissected by GM Authority reveals that America's sports car is handily outselling two of its more expensive rivals.
Through June of 2014, the NADA notes that the Corvette has rung up 17,744 sales, handily besting the Porsche 911 and positively spanking the SRT Viper. Of course, you're sitting there thinking, "Corvette is outselling the much more expensive Porsche and Viper. Sky blue, water wet." But what's impressive here is just how thoroughly the Chevrolet is beating its two rivals, with this data serving as a testament to just how popular the seventh-generation sports car has become.
So far this year, Porsche has managed to move 5,169 911s, according to NADA. Considering that the base model starts at nearly $15,000 more than the most heavily optioned Stingray, and that Porsche owners have a vast, expensive options catalogue to select from, Stuttgart's sales are still plenty impressive in relation to the nearly 18,000 Corvettes sold.
