Brought home a 65 yesterday!

Hey guys. Been a member for Atleast 5 years now. I used to have a 65 dart 2 door 270. I sold that years ago for financial reasons. Well yesterday I was looking in the local online classifieds and I see this…a 65 dart GT. I went and took a look at it and it’s fairly solid. 225 6, automatic, cragar ss wheels, wood steering wheel, bucket seats. Missing some trim and a few thing but I bought it! Super excited to be back. I picked her up for 7k. I felt like it was a fair price. What do you guys think?

Very nice-looking car. Congratulations!

 

[toolmanmike]

Nice! The price was right. The paint job would cost that.

Looks pretty clean, I like it! 65'

 

[jonn6464]

More than fair. That's a $10K-$12K car anywhere in the USA

I think you got a great deal!

 

[Treblig]

I think you stole it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[clementine]

You've done better than I for 7K! Well done!

Now to find that super rare front trim. Good luck, nice car.

 

[Stephen Mulkey]

That's a great deal for a pretty sweet dart.

[JDMopar]

You did well !! It even has a "Goofy Foot" gas pedal.

Here’s the engine. It runs ok. When it’s cold at first startup it shakes and sounds uneven. When it warmed up it sounds much better. I noticed the engine has Petronix electronic ignition but all else looks stock. I adjusted the air mixture screw on the carb and raised my idle slightly but none of that fixed the shakiness. When driving there’s no hesitation it’s pretty smooth. Not much power but I guess I would expect that from a single barrel carburetor right?

Looks great! Congrats man. I love that body style.
