1964 Dodge Dart 440 review from North America
"Dependability and simplicity"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The catch for the driver's seat failed, so the seat would flop into the back seat.
The shift linkage or gears in the manual transmission became worn, so would stay stuck in gear.
The Slant 6 engine threw a rod.
General comments?
This car was great right up until the time the oil seal failed and the engine threw a rod.
There had been no mechanical problems, and no repairs required.
The simple design was great, leaving nothing to go wrong.
The car was extremely easy to start, and always started on the first turn regardless of weather.
I wish that I still had this car. It looked cool, was fun to drive, and easy to work on.
