For Sale: $11000 OBO (I could be over priced so send me any offer you think is reasonable.)
1965 Dodge Dart with around 61500 miles on the odometer believed to be original Of which I have add 1500 of those miles. I purchased this car earlier this year with the intent of keeping it for at least a few years. However, I realized it is a bit of pain and I do not have much else I can do with it with out putting a lot more money in.
I purchased it from a nice lady out of Oregon who inherited it from her mother (seems like in the late 90s). Her mother was the original owner and was her Christmas present new in 1965. This vehicle was assembled and sold in California sold at Sunset Dodge in San Francisco. It spent some time there before ending up in Oregon with the previous owner. Between the late 90s and my ownership it appears to have only acquired approximately 2000 miles or so. The previous owner added a dual exhaust, Crager mags, and repainted the body to the original color. It is believed that the original paint under hood remains. The previous owner sold it due to their little use an desire for a larger down payment on a new house.
It is a lovely car and a nice driver but needs a better home then what I can give it. There are a assortment of oil leaks which may be easiest to address with the motor out. I live in an apartment so that is not super simple for me.
Under my ownership:
I have rebuilt the original carburetor and repainted the original two barrel manifold, which is included in the sale along with the original Two barrel air cleaner.
I have added a D4B topped with an Edelbrock 1901 500 CFM AVS 2 carburetor and a summit racing drop base 14” air filter. (Carb is tuned for 5000 ft of elevation and will need to be rejeted accordingly.)
Replaced the fuel pump.
Replaced the distributor gasket.
Replaced the spark plug wires with MSD stree fire wires. (Original plugs as sold to me included in sale.)
Replaced the spark plugs.
Replaced valve cover gaskets. (New in packaging Moroso valve cover gaskets and Felpro load spreads are included in sale.)
Flushed the coolant.
New fuel filter.
MSD Blaster 2 Coil
Other parts included with sale:
New water pump and gasket.
Transmission filter, transmission pan gasket, and rear seal.
Original hub caps with what appears to be Original 13” wheels (Factory spare with original or very very old tire and jack included as well.)
Additional Dodge Hood emblem and center crest emblem.
Rear taillight that is intended to replace the cracked one shown in photos but I do not think it would work. It will be included anyway.
Correct cigarette lighter to replace the one currently present. (Not shown as it is on the way from 65Dartman.)

Can you get a better picture of the factory invoice?

Here is the picture. Excuse the slight glare but it has been framed behind “museum glass” to preserve/protect it from UV light. (I still would not hang it where it gets direct sunlight but you can worry a lot less about it fading overtime.
I also have a binder of receipts from what I have had done and some receipts (which may or may not be comprehensive) from the previous owner which go back to 1995 or so. It does show ever so slight continuous mileage increase indicating that the odometer was unlikely tampered with.
If I had to guess the broadcast sheet is still hiding in the car somewhere as well. I don’t think the interior has ever been out.

*Edit: Although this sounds silly the red mat in the framed invoice matches the factory paint color pretty closely.

Look for the broadcast sheet in the springs behind the back seat. That’s where I found the remains of mine.
 
If you are interested buyer I am happy to go looking for it. Otherwise the car is staying intact and the next owner is welcome to do detective work.
 
No Sale on ebay. (Relisted.)
Any one interested in this beauty for $10,000 or so? Willing to make a good deal to a FABO member.
 
What do you think is leaking? The rear main seal? It is a crappy job, but I once changed one in a driveway. What are the needed repairs that you mention in your opening?
