Was the lock broken?
I owned a 1965 Dodge Dart. The driver's side car door had to be locked from the outside, it could not be locked from the inside. Was this normal?

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. Jun 14, 2013

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!Jan 23, 2012

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.Jun 29, 2008

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.May 11, 2008

The push button transmission was fun and was a great first car. Not very attractiveApr 06, 2008

Suspension
Hello, I've got a 65 GT that I'm slowly restoring and I think the next step for me is the suspension. I think the front shocks are original so that's what I'm doing next. The problem that I'm trying to correct is sway, or lean. When I go around a corner it leans a lot. It almost feels like the inside front wheel is going to come off the ground when I really make an aggressive turn. I've noticed that quite a few people that restore these tend to replace the leaf springs. Is the described problem the reason for that? Any advice will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

What direction do the brake adjuster screws face on 10" rear and front brake drums on a 65 Dodge Dart 270, both right and left side.
I've seen pictures where the rear drums have the adjuster screw to the left, while the front drums have it facing towards the front. I would think both rear and front drums would have their adjuster screws facing towards the front, and not one towards the front and the other towards the back of the car.
