I bought this Dodge Dart 1965 Convertible via Ebay 2 years ago [2009] in the blind. I had no time to fly over for inspection; called the seller and had a nice conversation and decided to continue bidding with new knowledge of the machine, asked the ultimate price as well. (A very nice guy in Orlando Florida do do business with I might add.).
Got it! It was the middle of the night at my end due to the time difference. Called the seller next day to settle all things; found transport company in Rotterdam, to do all the paperwork and stuff.
Wow! And there the Mopar came out of the 40 foot sea container. |

Did little adjustments when at home, like headlights for Europe and so on, for Obtaining the Dutch license plates after the state check on imported vehicles. New floor carpet, hydraulic-convertible-top-cylinders, hubcaps, dash vents, door locks, etc., etc. Oh, I did the new shocks and tires too.
Automatic transmission filter and gasket, after flushing the entire system a few times to get rid of the metal debris after 45 years. An entire protection exterior and interior against the Dutch humidity was performed as well.
Since I am a pensioner last year, I use it several times a week, weather permitting, anyway. Reason enough to be proud of this fantastic car! |
