It's a nice looking car. I'd want to see some documentation that there was any such thing as a "Go Go edition" of the '65 Dart. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure there wasn't.

There was a go go edition dart, ask the member 65dartcharger about it. They had convertibles and hard tops, and came out when the 65 dart first was released.

"It's Go Go Time!" appears to be a slogan (like "Get Your Kicks in Dart '66" the following year, and "Join the Dodge Rebellion" in '67). I'm not seeing anything in the brochure suggesting the existence of a "special GoGo edition" Dart. Could you get racing stripes? Yes, you could. A couple different kinds. Show me a piece of factory documentation of the "GoGo edition" or "GoGo package". I have a great deal of '65 Dart factory literature, and I'm not seeing any such a mention.

Dan! Tomorrow I will shoot some pictures of the broschure, the radio commercial, the record and the filmstrip. I think I have the order form for the wheels too!!

It does look like it since the rivets are missing

Cliff! The car are exactly how it left the factory! In 1965 there wasn't any rivets for the VIN tag. All tags were spot welded in place after the paint was applayed. If you check out the picture you will see tracks of the spot welder.

Thanks I didn't know that.

You guys amaze me.
So does that car. I think it's special, and so is the price for something like that.

Interesting materials. Looks as if the "Go Go package" was a dealer-installed set of stripes and bolt-ons in conjunction with an advertising campaign. Not any kind of a limited-edition factory package,.

That's a cool car for a great price. That is some serious documentation. I love that stuff.

It be nice if someone did a restoration of the car and rounded up all possible go/go stuff. That would be rare and probably worth some later on. I guess that the FABO community would be of great help for that person.

A couple of obvious problems with THIS car. Wrong air cleaner and wrong paint treatment on the valve covers. The car seems to not be as original as claimed...

Maybe it has those German 3496 Bulbs in it? (Sorry Guys, inside joke) Dan, I have to agree with you on this one. It seem to be all about the Adversing/sales campaign and not really a Special edition. I guess we could check the Fender tag?? Maybe??

Also, where are the crager wheels. From the documentation they should have been dealer installed.
