Could a '65 Dart 270 come with a 4 speed and HiPo 273?

Yes, they could. They didn't build too many of them. It's a keeper. I'll give you exactly numbers tomorrow morning.
Congrats. Yes you could have one. My first car was a 65 270 post car with a HP 273 and a 3 on the column. A rare one I understand. Nice build sheet! Where did you find it?
What is the 3 digit code down in the left lower corner under axle?

It's got 4 on the floor and hurst shifter. It's straight but not sure how much rust. Not mine yet though.

If I had to guess, because I'm looking at the same picture, it looks like 470.

Owner in the ad says it's a "391 rear end."
3:55 is the steepest gear you could get. It may have a 3:91 in it.

Yes! Good car to race either at a drag strip or road course. For the ‘66 Trans Am cars they started with Dart 270 models.

How many of those 47 with a Sure Grip?
Don't think the sure grip question will be accurately answered....info not available so far as I know.

I'm seeing conflicting info on that engine code. Was 31 for standard 2 bbl or the hipo 4bbl?
In 65 the 2 barrel was a 30 code and the 4 barrel a 31 code. In 66 the 4 barrel was a 32 code.

So here is the car I took notice of.
1965 Dodge Dart Factory 4 Speed Reduced!
But shipping to my location just makes it a no deal for me. Maybe someone closer can make a deal with them.

Nice. I like it. Love those 270 models. It looks legit.

Yes, it's mine. That was the the MCACN show in Chicago back in 2015.

Hah fantastic! Nice to put a face to a name once in a while! Absolutely beautiful car.
Let me ask one more question about the car above. Even though it's not a Dart Charger, should it have an exhaust cutout in the rear valance?
Thanks for the nice comments! All 273x4 bbl equipped cars had that cut-out in 1965.
