    [SOLD] '63 Dart 270 2dr $2.4k

    Complete, fairly straight never wrecked '63 Dart 270. 225, three on the tree. Hubcaps and horn ring from a '64. Well, it's... rough. Needs paint. Interior needs total refurb. But it is registered, runs/drives (tuneup advised), and has minimal rust (floorboards are shot). But if you are looking...

    [Found!] Early A 3 sp. steering column

    Does the shift lever (assuming there is one) move freely?

    [Found!] Early A 3 sp. steering column

    My '63 steering column is literally falling apart. Badly. I was going to convert to an a230 floor shift, but the cost is problematic. So, three on the tree it is. At least I know if the car is stolen, the thief is over 40 years old... Oh, a halfway decent two-spoke steering wheel would be...

    [FOR SALE] '63 Dart daily driver $2200

    I am selling my '63 Dart 270. Betty (that's her name) is a two-door. I use this car 3-5 times a week to commute to work (14-20 miles per day). Runs great, but does need some work, particularly the 3-speed on column is buggered up, leaving me with 2nd and 3rd gear. Body is straight, light rust...

    3 speed column shifting weirdness?

    Interesting. I'll take a look at it this weekend, let you know if this helps. Thanks for your thoughts! Hope this works. And good luck with your search.

    3 speed column shifting weirdness?

    That is actually something I hadn't tried yet, so I just did. Unfortunately, with both shift rods disconnected from the column, the shift lever still only moves up/down. It won't budge to move it over and select 1/R. One other thing to mention: Turning the steering wheel causes the shift lever...

    3 speed column shifting weirdness?

    Just took a photo. If I grab the 1/R shift rod, I can shift it without issue. It is just shifting it with the shift lever that is a non-starter.

    3 speed column shifting weirdness?

    The original column shift had the shift collar split apart, so a few weeks ago I installed a steering column I got from a member on this board. Now, it shifts from 2nd to 3rd and back easily, but moving the shift lever over to 1st/reverse? Nope. The lever will not budge at all, almost like it is...

    [WANTED] Early A 3 speed whatsit

    Hey folks-sincerely appreciate you responding. I am at work right now driving the bus in Vegas (weird damn job, this is). I haven't the time to respond in more detail or to any PMs, but will tomorrow. Thanks again!

    [WANTED] Early A 3 speed whatsit

    Don't really know the 'correct' words... Shift collar, maybe? Anyway, I have a '63 Dart with the always smooth-shifting 3 speed column shift [smooth? Yeah, right]. The part on the column where the shift lever is attached hs split asunder in the column. Somehow, I doubt Pep Boys carries this...

    My car was so lonely!

    Thanks Dave! Going to get nicer, for sure. Hey, you are just down the road from Fairplay, I think. I've been there for the Binder rendezvous a couple times.

    My car was so lonely!

    I don't, of course, indulge. But wow. Every month or two, traffic lights, taxi drivers and the occasional passenger just rattle me. Been clean for a few years now. But when I retire? Oh yeah.

    My car was so lonely!

    Being drunk 24/7 would make this city more tolerable, yep, but when I get drunk, I get the spins, and when I get the spins, I become a hurl squirrel. So, I get a little tipsy once in a while. Ah, but if I wasn't a city bus driver? I make a wonderful pot head! It saddens me to know I can pass a...

    My car was so lonely!

    Howdy, folks! My name is Rob, I live in Las Vegas, and my car is a '63 Dart. Ok, got the necessities outta the way... I've had this car for two months now, wrenching away every weekend. She's rough, but getting better! Last Saturday, I drove it to her first car show, the Viva Las Vegas...
