1962 Dodge Lancer 770 review from North America
"A tremendously cool car if you can find one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Required a new starter motor.
Left headlamp bulb burned out.
Air conditioner required a recharge.
Heater control valve cable was kinked; fixed myself.
General comments?
There's nothing as cool as a '62 Dodge Lancer. The pushbutton-operated automatic transmission is efficient and smart; the 225 is torquey and sounds nice, and the styling is very unique!
