Vehicle Detail
I am re-listing the Dart today with a buy it now price for Mike so everyone knows what Mike's bottom line is for the Dart and so I won't get any more questions regarding what the reserve is. Thanks, KC ******************************************************************************************What we have for sale today is a rare piece of American Iron that was not considered part of the muscle car era, but really should be. This year is the only year that the Dart was a "B" body. I am selling this car for one of my customers. We performed quite a bit of work on the car but did not do the initial restoration. We are "KC's Classic Cars" in Bradenton, Florida and the restoration was done by "Mopars by Crane" in Bradenton, Florida in 2004. I have all of the restoration paperwork and our work orders over the years. There were 1962 Dodge's built with the 413 Max Wedge in the 2 door hardtop version and we think there may be one version in a convertible showing in a museum, from what the owner was told. He wanted to replicate that car and he achieved it with great success. I have lots of photos on our Facebook page: "KC's Classics" and please feel free to call us at any time (941-747-1800) or e-mail (buildkc@aol.com) to ask us any questions about the Dart. Mike (the owner) keeps her at our shop and cannot drive the car any longer. I could photo/video anything in question. I have tried to show any blemish in the paint. The hood does have a crack (1 inch long) in the paint (see photo) from where I think someone closed the hood on something. That looks like the only flaw that I see. All of the chrome looks good, with exception of the rear bumper (see photo) part of the chrome has rubbed through, and the rest of the chrome on the car just needs to be waxed. The other item is that the gas gauge does not work. The sending unit works fine (we checked it out). The gauge itself is not working. Everything else works, including the power top. The specs on the engine, transmission, etc. is as follows: 1) 440 ci .030 = 446 ci2) Forged steel crank 10/103) Cam-Hughes HEH4650BL, lobe lift .379 int, .384 exh, valve lift .606 int, .614 exh, duration 246 deg int, 250 deg exh @.0504) Heads Casting Number 2406518, New Max Wedge Heads 5249824 valve size 214 intake, 181 exhaust, stainless5) Pistons- TRW Speed Pro Forged # 2355F .030, Rings- Seal Power E424K .030, all balanced internally 6) 435 Stock Rods- reconditioned7) 1.6 Roller Rockers, Hughes8) Hold Downs, Hughes9) Push Rods Custom Made, Hughes10) Aluminum water pump and housing11) Valve springs, Hughes # 110612) Mallory Unilite Distributor with cap and rotor13) High torque starter14) Cross Ram Intake Manifold15) Engine torque strap16) Milodon oil pan17) Mopar dual master brake cylinder18) March Serpentine Pulley Kit19) Rebuilt transmission and push buttons20) Deep transmission oil pan21) 9 1/2 inch torque converter22) Transmission cooler23) Rebuilt 3:55 posi unit24) Torsion bars25) Heavy duty frame connectors26) Balanced driveline27) Max Wedge ceramic coated exhaust manifolds, 3 chamber Delta-Flow Flowmasters Series 50 mufflers28) Cragar SS 15x8 rears with spinner knock offs29) Cragar SS 15x7 fronts with spinner knock offs30) BFG T/A 275/50/15 rears31) BFG T/A 225/60/15 fronts32) Interior was all restored with added gauges When Mike originally bought the Dart, it had 30,596 miles on it and was told they were correct. There was very little rust on the car that had to be addressed (floor pans). So bid with confidence for an awesome piece of Americana and go cruising with the top down and trust me, when you open the hood at the car shows, jaws will drop when they see what is in there. Even when driving down the road I am constantly asked what year and make the car is. That's how rare they are! Gas mileage is not bad when cruising along on the highway! But this is not a daily driver, is it? There is no warranty implied by us, KC's Classic Cars (we are not a dealer). We restore classic cars. We are helping our customer with the process. Check us out at kcsclassiccars.com. You are responsible for the pick up and delivery of the car. Please ask questions if you have any. This is an auction and I will have a reserve. Please don't ask what the reserve is! This is a legal and binding auction, if you don't have the funds to bid, please don't waste anybody's time, especially mine. At the end of the auction the winning bidder will have 48 hours to put $500 into my Pay Pal account and the make arrangements to pay the balance and pick up the car. Thank you for bidding!KC
