Dodge Dart Station Wagon 1963

1963 Dodge Dart Station Wagon

This ex-family station wagon affectionately known as "Waggy" has been restored, upgraded and completely customized. Yeah, it’s been a while. All mechanical and electrical systems were installed new, new old stock, or rebuilt down to the wheel bearings. Years of research and painstaking acquisition of parts eventually turned out this 100% Mopar custom car with all power train and suspension components (with the exception of the front anti sway control bar) bolting in eliminating special fabrication of mounts, brackets or special parts.

This is an original ownership vehicle. Purchased new by my dad. I have the owner's manual & warranty book along with the original purchase invoice. I also have the original am radio. Waggy has approximately 33000 miles since restoration and has been garaged for over 30 years. It gets the occasional drive, about 1000 miles per year.

This is not a rust bucket (although minor rust may exist) and has never had major collision damage. It is also not a show car. The car is solid and can be driven daily anywhere. Everything works. Odometer reading is not original since new. The odometer was purposely rolled to zero when the vehicle was modified. I have a new set of N.O.S rear tail lite lenses, a new Year One windshield seal in the box and numerous other parts that I will throw in. I’ve made every attempt to describe as accurately as possible but please Ask Any Questions.
