Need help assessing this 1965 Dodge Dart 270 4-dr sedan
Hi All!
I'm new to this forum and have to confess that I don't know much about classic cars in general. However, my wife and I would like to "dip our toes" in this world and have been looking at old 60's-era cars.
A neighbor of ours is selling his 1965 Dodge Dart 270 and I am struggling to assess its condition and value. It's my hope that there are enough experts here that have a few minutes to give their unvarnished opinions on this car.
I have looked at the online Classic Car Value Guide and can't find a 4-door sedan with a VIN beginning with "L355". What's more, I'm concerned that the VIN plate is missing the rivets normally found on vehicles. The owner has a clear title with this VIN number but I couldn't find the VIN anywhere on the frame (or elsewhere) to corroborate.
Also, I drove the car (after driving my zippy 2006 Toyota Rav4) and it took some time to get up to 50mph and lurched a little bit when changing gears (it's an automatic).
If you have a moment, please take a look at the photos and give your honest assessment and what you think it's worth.
Thank you for your time!
