No problem. The link has 128 pics and a couple vids, but happy to add more here. 1963 Dart GT 225 Slant 6 3 speed push button auto Original Carter BBS 2.5 inch TTI exhaust Front disk brakes 15 inch wheels Kenwood stereo in glove box with Alpine speakers Fresh paint in factory correct Medium...

Tough decision to do it but I have listed my 63 GT on BAT. Front to back it's the nicest car I own. I'll use the proceeds to move along my 65 Barracuda project! If yourself or anyone you know may have an interest please direct them to the auction. The price listed is just an estimate on what...

Thanks. Body, trim, paint info was pretty easy to decode. It's the 32 under AB that I kept finding information that didn't fit the car. The 2-1 on the top could indicate a right side mirror, which the car doesn't have now, but it could have in the past. When I bought the car it had been...

See here you go, this is why I got confused. lol. 7435 first digits of VIN. 7 - Slant 6, 4 - GT, 3 - 1963, 5 - LA plant. A3 - This car is a push button three speed auto, not a four speed Yes, toolmanmike always has the right tools. lol I've seen supposedly 1962-65 decoders that are all...

Thanks. Can you share your decoder? So on the Lynch Rd plant, is that LA? Was told car was built at the LA plant. Looks like the bucket seats mine has were added later. So there is no engine/transmission info on the fender tag that year? VIN shows Slant 6, GT, 1963, LA plant.

Can anyone help with decoding this tag? I don't think I'm looking at dependable decoders, because it's not matching up to the car. I used to have a link to a site that you just filled in the numbers and letters in the appropriate spot and it spit out the decode. That was great, but couldn't...

I've used zip ties the last two times I've done shocks. They have to be heavy duty or they'll break on you.

Thanks!

Thanks. I'm being told 64/65 are the same, 66 is different. Will keep you in mind.

I'll double check in the morning, but 99% positive I just need the base that the upholstery attaches to. Drivers side.

It appears I have two passenger side seats in my 65. When I took the seat back to the upholstery shop asking why they put the chrome on the wrong side, we discovered the bracket to hold that piece is on the wrong side. Notice the adjuster is on the drivers side where it should be. Not sure...

I use SIL-Glyde for just about anything needing lubrication. You should have to fight it a little. If it goes in easy something isn't right. lol

Just made me remember I have one of those chrome pens. Tried to use it on a sail panel emblem on a 63 Dart GT. Mixed results. Great idea using one in the dash area. I'll try it!

I was so excited to finally find a nice center grille for my 65 that I didn't notice the difference in the number of support braces. The parts book is showing my new one (below) is a 65 valiant grille, and my old one a valiant/barracuda grille. However, I've seen many Barracudas with the same...
