1962 DODGE DART 440 4-DOOR HARDTOP SURVIVOR - RARELY SEEN - NO RESERVE!!

1962 Dodge Dart 440 Description

We are a long standing restoration shop located in Conroe, TX 77301 – 1/2 mile off I-45 North at US105 East. www.conroecarsandclassics.com

We believe this is a hard-to-find, 1-family-owned, 1 year-only-body-style 1962 Dodge Dart 440 4-door-Hardtop with just under 84K original miles as told by the Owner's grandson.

Car owned by grandparents from new and parked in a climate controlled garage since around 1970 (about 30 years). It was fired up occasionally and rarely driven.

There were several versions of this 1 year only "B" body style 62 Dodge Dart; 4-door wagons, 4-door sedans, 2-door sedans, 2-door hardtops, 2-door convertibles, and 4-door hardtops.

In addition, model designations provided varying levels of appointments and options for its day, including the entry 330, intermediate 440 and top of the line Polara 500; however this 440 4-door Hardtop is rarely seen on the road or at local car shows, especially in very good driver condition as this car is.

The car is in great shape for its age with solid sub-frame rails, etc. Undercarriage sealed at factory with only minor surface rust. The doors “click” open/closed easily.
