Greetings! We just bought a 1964 Dodge Dart GT convertible, with a 273 and push-button automatic. We take delivery next weekend. I'm a Datsun Roadster guy, so I'm on a learning curve with Mopar rides. But I look forward to diving in and getting to know this car.

All in all it's a stout car with a solid body and no rust, and the interior is very original and in great condition. Mechanically sound, but there are a couple of leaks that need to be addressed. The biggest issue is the cooling system, as it has an aftermarket aluminum radiator with no fan shroud. So I'm looking to go back to an exact fit radiator and a correct shroud, assuming I can find one.

I'll post pics when I get her home. I look forward to learning from the community, and I welcome any feedback on good vendors.

Welcome from WV. Our cars are Brothers- from- another-mother :thumbsup:

No factory shroud in 64 that I'm aware of.

Throw some pictures up as soon as you get a chance.

Thanks! Attached are the only pics I have at the moment, so I'll toss some more in as soon as I take delivery. The front-end shot shows the aftermarket aluminum radiator. I see in your signature that you have a Canadian Dart. I noticed the transmission fluid cooler on our car has Canada on it, so I'm curious about how you would id the car as Canadian?

Check the VIN tag. 4th character would be a 9 if it was built in Windsor..

Nice looking ride
