The third-generation Dart underwent several iterations before Dodge settled on an engine lineup. Initially, the series exclusively offered six-cylinder units, with options including the 170 with 101 horsepower and the 225 with 145 horsepower.
However, Dodge soon recognized the demand for a V8 option and introduced the 273 model, boasting 180 horsepower, early in the 1964 model year.
An upgraded version of the 273 arrived in 1965, featuring a four-barrel carburetor that boosted its output to 235 horsepower. Despite these advancements, the majority of third-generation Darts still on the road are equipped with six-cylinder engines.
The 1964 Dart showcased in these photos originally came with a 225 engine, which remains in pristine condition. Evidently well cared for, despite minor issues, the Dart exhibits signs of meticulous maintenance and storage.
Although it has minor rust and some surface damage, its overall condition suggests it has been preserved with care since leaving the factory. Offered for sale without reserve, starting at $4,000, it presents an opportunity for collectors or enthusiasts seeking an authentic, unrestored classic.
