Perfectly Restored 1961 Dodge Dart Phoenix Is a Forgotten One-Year Gem

-
A mopar racer up here in Maine runs one of these. I believe it's a class legal S/ST car. He and his brother run it at New Oxford Dragway and at New England Dragway in NH.
 
Great car! I had a 4 door, owned it for 16 yrs; drag raced it & drove it to work...
 
The camera guy could have gotten a LITTLE closer. I like my pictures to be downright claustrophobic!! :poke: :lol:
 
And look how far ahead Chrys engineering was.....
That model had an alt. I believe it was about 1964 before GM used them.
Recessed door handles, since 1957.
Torsion bar suspension, anti-dive braking.
My 1960 Phoenix had rubber over-riders on the front bumper, not seen on other makes until years to come.
