63Dart qtr trim
There is a 63 Dart GT in a scrapyard by my house and inquired about yesterday, mostly because I have seen a few looking for posts about that year Dart here on FABO. It has all of the GT upper trim still intact and on it as well as a variety of other good parts on it. If I can get enough interest in some of the parts on this car, I will buy the entire car and bring it home to part out. Just to verify, are you looking for the upper quarter trim? The trim on this car has 2 runners that go from front to back. They meet in the front at a point and terminate at the back roughly the same way. Inside the 2 pieces of trim the area is painted. The trim is about 2 inches apart. Does this sound like the trim you are looking for? Let me know, and let me know if you have any interest in anything else from this car. It has buckets, a V8 and all of the other outside trim. Thanks, Geof

Goef, Thanks for the comeback. Parts I need will ONLY be from a '63-'66 model Dart CONVERTIBLE (either 270 or GT)
NO HT models. What you've come across is a
'64 Dodge Dart GT. Chrome side trim lays just below the body crease at the belt line. ('63 the trim is mid belt middle of the door & side). '64 models had the split chrome side trim just below the body crease.
'63 Darts had NO V8 available as a OEM option. (certainly someone could have modified the car by adding a V8) finally, a '64 will have heater (tri knobs) controls mounted just under the padded dash & above the radio. '63 Darts had heat controls mounted on a panel hanging below the dash and below where the radio is mounted too. IF YOU'VE COME ACROSS IS A
CONVERTIBLE & IT STILL HAS THE REAR OUTER CORNERS OF THE TOPWELL SURROUND (WHERE THE TOP OF THE REAR FENDER STAINLESS TRIM MEETS THE TOPWELL SURROUND STAINLESS) THE PCS I SEEK ARE CHROME PLATED POTMETAL & JOIN THE (
TOP OF REAR FENDER) STAINLESS TO THE TOPWELL STAINLESS. MOPAR CALLS 'COVER'.
I F THIS CAR IS A
CONVERTIBLE & HAS THESE L&R POTMETAL PCS, C A L L ME IMMEDIATELY & PROVIDE ME WITH A PRICE & DESCRIPTION AS COMPLETE AS POSSIBLE OF THESE PIECES ALONG WITH PHOTOS OF EACH SIDE (
REAR OUTER CORNERS OF THE TOPWELL SURROUND-SOMETIMES CALLED 'SNAP STRIP') (
E-MAIL THE PHOTOS TO: [email protected])
IF THE CAR IS NOT A 'D A R T' CAR, OR
IF IT IS A H.T. MODEL, THESE PCS WILL NOT BE FOUND. VALIANT CONVERTIBLES ALSO DO NOT HAVE THESE PCS.
Thanks so much for chiming in to let me know about the
donor car you're aware of near your home. I'm anxious to hear back from you about what you'll find, obviously condition is important, so before you commit to buy anything, let me know 1.) How much 2.) E-mail photos or complete written description by e-mail or call me...(I'll pay you back on the call if you've found a CONVERTIBLE donor car & these parts are still intact & useable.
Thanks again, BILL-Cols,OH (614) 325-8874
