For 1963, Dodge made a last-minute decision to drop the Lancer name in favor ofDartfor Dodge's newly designed "senior compact", a marketing term referring to the wheelbase having grown to 111in (2,819mm) from the Lancer's 106.5in (2,705mm). This longer wheelbase used the same A-body suspension of the Valiant and defunct Lancer, and would underpin all Darts from 1963 to 1976 except the 1963–1966 station wagons which used the Valiant's (106in (2,692mm) wheelbase) and the 1971–1976 Demon/Sport which used thePlymouth Duster's 108in (2,743mm) wheelbase. The longer wheelbase gave more rear seat legroom than the previous Lancer or the contemporaneous Valiant. The Dart was available as a 2- or 4-doorsedan, a 2-door hardtop coupe, astation wagon, and a convertible. Three trim levels were offered: the low-spec170, the high-spec270, and the premiumGT, which was available only as a 2-door hardtop or convertible. The 1963 Dart has a turning radius of 38.9ft (11.9m).[16]

The Dart was an instant market success, with 1963 sales up sharply compared to those of the 1962 Lancer. The Dart remained extremely popular through the end of the Dart's production run in 1976 in comparison to theFord Falconand theChevrolet Nova.[6]

Initial engine offerings were two sizes of the slant-six: a 170cuin (2.8L), 101hp (75kW) version was fitted as standard equipment, and a 225cuin (3.7L), 145hp (108kW) version was available for less than $50 extra. The aluminum engine block for the 225 was discontinued early in the 1963 model year. After the start of the 1964 model year, an all-new, compact, lightweight 273cuin (4.5L)LA V8producing 180bhp (130kW) with a 2-barrel carburetor was introduced as the top engine option. 1964 was the last year for pushbutton control of the optionalTorquefliteautomatic transmission, so 1963 and 1964 models were the only compact Darts so equipped.[6]Standard axle ratios in 1964 were 2.93:1 with automatic transmission and 225 engine, or 3.23:1 with manual transmission and 225 engine, or with 170 engine and either transmission. A 3.55:1 ratio was optional.[17]New features included stronger door locks and a refined automatic choke.[17]

In 1965, the 2-barrel 273 remained available, but a new performance version of the 273 engine was released with a 4-barrel carburetor, 10.5:1 compression, a more aggressive camshaft with solid tappets, and other upgrades which increased output to 235bhp (175kW). At the same time, the Dodge Dart Charger was offered. The Dart Chargers were yellow Dart GT hardtops with black interiors, Commando 273 engines, premium mechanical and trim specifications, and special "Charger" badging. They were the first Dodge models to bear the "Charger" name. The following year the largerB-bodyDodge Chargerwas introduced, and the "Charger" name was thenceforth associated with Dart models only in the "Charger 225" marketing name for the optional larger 6-cylinder engine.

Other new options for 1965 included upgraded suspension components and larger 14in (356mm) wheels and tires. Factory-installed air conditioning became available after the start of the 1965 model year, as well asdisc brakes, which required the 14in (356mm) wheels to clear the calipers. Front seat belts became standard.[18]

Among the questions I have had...
The car runs great.
I have added 12 additional pictures of the underside and interior.
All of the windows work as does the electric window and tailgate in the back.
The speedometer and radio do not work.
The heater hose is not hooked up to the heater core.
The headliner is immaculate, door panels too.
We put a new battery in it within a couple days ago.
