1962 Dodge Dart Red 440

1962 Dodge Dart 440

1962 Dodge Dart 440 2 door hardtop, rotisserie restored inside and out, no bolt left unturned. This is not an original max wedge car, it is built to look like a stock max wedge car. 540 cubic inch max wedge engine street/strip built, never been to the track but built to run 10s. Won best 62-5 B body at Mopar Spring Fling 2017 in Van Nuys, CA. Won best 62-5 B body at Mopars at the Strip 2017 in Las Vegas, NV. Won best 62-5 B body at Mopars in May 2018 in Riverside, CA. These were the only 3 car shows the car has ever been to, just goes to local cruise nights mostly. 812 miles since restoration was finished in 2017, car shows almost no wear and is in excellent condition. I have owned this car for close to 20 years and spent 10 years restoring it.
