Used 1965 Dodge Dart for Sale near Alpine, TX

My first car...Dodge Dart Wagon...manual transmission (3 on the tree)...just $150 back in 1984. Loved the car in despite the clutch linkage breaking 4 times, replacing the transmission, windows were shot out, etc. Of course it had 300,000 miles on it but, it was good deal even back then. I sold it to a friend for $75 who drove it across the US and back.

You don't see these everywhere, especially w/ all this trim. They are essentially Barracudas but don't get the same love- and I like the underdogs. Even stock I can smoke most cars on the street including the new Chargers! (That was FUN!) There are no seat belts in the back seat so I'm going to add them, easy job. Not as easy as switching front drums for disks will be. Engine runs cool at prolonged high speeds, (San Diego to L.A. at 90-130) Temp gauge never went over 1/3 and car practically floated, loves the highway! Always gets thumbs up from strangers everywhere it goes. Fun car!

This car was my graduation present from my folks who bought it from Doering Dodge of Milwaukee, WI. Never gave me a bit of trouble and I could always depend on it starting up, even in the coldest winter day. Although it was purchased in WI it was a CA car and when I retired from flying it came to CO with me to spend the rest of it's life coddled in my garage and wrapped in a warm blanket now. This has been a loved and well cared for auto. Hard to believe its going to be 50 YEARS OLD next year. Fun to drive, place in shows and certainly holds its own right next to the Mustang of its day. Matter of fact, it much more of a rarity to own.

For some reason I thought this was the cutest car in the world. It was baby blue and kinda rusty on the bottom and didn't really have any steering, but still I was sad when it got towed during a snow emergency and couldn't afford to pay to get it out. Of course I don't think I ever registered the car, nor did I have a drivers license at the time, so I guess the lack of funds was the least of my problems.

Lot to love about the car and the great slant six that runs forever
