Looks like a very nice find for $700???Your good to go!

You would be damn lucky to find a car that nice out east for $700, and it would have rust. Congrats on a killer deal! Good luck with the build and keep us posted!

700 bucks. I say you got a STEAL!!!!! don't look back and build an ultimate mean maching now.

Swap in a FI magnum or a Hemi and make it a daily driver.

Are those the original hubcaps...those kinda look like 68 Roadrunner hubcaps?

Great looking 65. You got a deal. But...the real question...how are your candy canes?

those hubcaps are off my 67 valiant i have the original hubcaps to dart but one was missing not quite sure what candy canes are ?

Nice score, Rob.

She looks like she'll make a great DD. Or..............

The candy canes are the trim pieces that surround the outer curve of the headlight and meet at the middle bottom of the grille. After 40 odd years on the road, most are kinda beat up.

Nice find. You scored on that one.

Lucky you! That is a steel! Those Darts are hard to find in decent condition. You're car seems to be in very good condition. Good luck with it.

 

[Coryduran]

damn seems like it's in just as good condition as my dart, and you payed a third of what I paid for my 273 gt. A steal, for sure.

 

[Coryduran]

not trying to hijack... butttt...

did 65 dart gt's come with the same trim he has running underneath the handle? or is that a non gt trim thing?

I have a 65 GT that is getting a 440,727,Dana-a lot of modification to say the least.Has the old super stock exhaust manifols cause no one makes headers for it and they are making a lot of problems like steering and master cylinder and clearance in general-will post some pics when I get the mill set in it.Also made my own insturment panel out of oak with a **** load of gauges,but sure is fun
