For sale is my 1964 Dodge Dart GT Convertible. I bought the car to work on with my daughters. It was a great time, and my kids now have the passion for cars I hoped they would have. Alas, it is time to move on to another project. I would be willing to trade for a 4wd camping vehicle, as my kids love to go camping. The car is not a complete restoration and has normal dings and scratches. It is a great daily driver. My primary focus was to make it drivable and safe! The Dart gets a lot of attention and generates many smiles. It also has good acceleration, and sounds amazing with the Hooker headers and dual exhaust with X-pipe My next steps for the car were to add an MSD ignition, TorqueStorm supercharger, fuel injection, and a 8 1/4 , or 8 ¾ or Ford 8.8 rear end, and front discs. The car is awesome the way it is and is ready for upgrades as you wish. I also have most of the OEM parts, and several items I did not get around to installing. These include the original chrome body trim, Transgo shift kit, original intake/exhaust manifold and 1904 carburetor. I also have the service manual and The Chrysler TorqueFlight A-904 & A-727 Transmission: How to Rebuild manual.
