I have to admit, this 1965 Dart GT has REALLY impressed me! With a 318, 4 speed, and 3.23 sure grip, it is a riot on the street in a modest package. Tag along as we go through all the issues of bringing it back to life! Think it'll power shift?

![9K ORIGINAL Mile 1964 Dodge Dart Time Capsule Runs Like New [4k] | REVIEW SERIES](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/t-Nrx_q2j_g/mqdefault.jpg)
Old Red should be restored. She wants to live man! She’s a fighter.
I want that dart !!
This is the A.D.D. channel
Clear coat it and rock on🤘
Strong drivetrain and a sleeper no doubt, but a ton of bodywork would be needed with all that rust and etc.
New clutch, and.... vroom, vroom!!!!!
I know it'll be a tough slog, but this would be such a cool long-term resto project to run on the channel while doing other projects. It would be such a great car when finished.
@@kruleworld maybe not right now, but they are getting more and more valuable with every year and every stupid government regulation.
@@kruleworld yeah I know, but I wasnt thinking of the return, I was thinking of the car.
That looks like such a fun little car. The 318 is perfect for it! "OLE RED" deserves a restoration.
Did I miss something? Should be a 273 if it's the original engine...
@@nickadamson6053 it isn’t original. Said that during the beginning of video 1
@@adamyoder6024 oh I totally missed that. Bummer
This car needs to be restored. My brother had one like this in the late 60's. I was maybe 14 at the time but I loved that car. It was white from the factory but he repainted it a metallic green / gold color. He added cragar mags and had high jackers to lift the rear end. It was the cockiest car around town. I lost my brother a few years ago but watching this video brings back some great memories.
I am very sorry for you loss
Lucky one!!! That car deserves a 100% totally original restoration!!!
Why? It would not be worth half as much as it would cost to fix. Just a money pit, and no way to get your money back, or even close
Dang, she sounded boss as heck after that clutch fix and new carb.
Love old red, would love to see a long term restoration on him. Really enjoy those
The first a body I've known of that had an 8 and 3/4 was the 66 "D dart" which was a 273 with 11 to compression a 700 holley and headers, was a special package, not to be confused with the 10.5 to1 235 ho version
They had a solid cam and lifters too. It was a hot little engine.
@@stevensaxton8131 even 2bbl 273's had a solid cam until 68and 69, when they built the 340 there were no more hp 273's and the 2bbl was the base v-8 for valiant and dart they had the 318 hydraulic cam, also the old poly 318 57 -66 were solid lifters
I owned a 65 Dart Charger back in 1971. It was stock when I purchased it. 273 Hipo 235 HP with the 904 Trans. I rebuilt the engine and Trans and installed a 8-3/4" rear-end. I drag raced it in KOA AHRA and set the National Record. It originally came from CA. Solid car and no rust. Paid $500 for it. Sold it in 1975 and the guy wrapped it around a pole. Totaled the car. Today, it would have been restored.
Thank You Dylan. I have thoroughly enjoyed this video. This car would be a great long term restoration project. Not perfect, but do enough to make it decent.
I love this car, not enough early a-body darts get love! 64 is my favorite dart year, but I love the 63 and 65's too!
Had A '63 GT with a '64 grille. I miss that car.
These cars were reliable daily drivers not limited production high performance cars. Most of them got the rugged Slant 6 either the 170 or the optional 225.
I really look forward to these videos. I like how clean he keeps them. Non vulgar. Unlike a few other channels. Still watch them tho. Just love the vehicles.
Great video Dylan. Loved it. I've hated the look of these frumpy little Darts. But with a V8 4bbl, 4 speed, limited slip and dual exhaust burning the tires, I kinda like them now. BTW, I hope that you are giving your dog the love and Attention that she needs. There's nothing like the love of a dog.
Agreed, especially about the dog.
He slept with it
Class, you’ve got to keep this one on as a restoration 👍🏻
I save this one. It,s a Runner
Definitely a restoration car. The floors and rickers may be gone but hey, it looked like the trunk was all intact!😊
I think Old Red needs to be saved: fix the rust issues in the body and floor, install front discs and a dual master cylinder, better seats and some interior improvements. and if you can get that kind of scratch from a 318 of unknown quality, just imagine what a mildly built 340 would do? Back in my youth, the older brother of a friend of mine had a '65 Dart GT with a 273 (I think) and a four speed. And the brother wanted to trade his car straight across for my '69 Plymouth Valiant 2-door post (Slant-6 and automatic). We never got the deal done, and seeing how much fun Dylan had driving his GT, I wish I had made the trade.
that old girl is rough but i love it !
This really would deserve a restoration, even though rusty is a bit of an understatement for it😅
I have one. Took me 8 years to restore. A factory 273 HP,4 speed ,8 3/4 .A great crosser.
That fuel pump needed replacing any way. I laugh about the fuel line, I remember back in the seventies I rebuilt my motorcycle engine, I checked everything over, but it would not start, my brother helped to try to roll start it. We pushed and pushed and nothing, we checked the gas -AGAIN- and pushed and kicked some more. I was getting hot and sweaty and so pissed off. Finally, my brother said we should check the plug, he bent down and laughed. We - me- had never put the spark plug wire on the plugs. It cranked right up and ran like a champ after hours of messing with it.
Hi Dylan, been with you since the beginning and always enjoyed the ride. Two things...first, looks like that fuel filter is in backwards. Second, proper drum brake tools make them much easier to work on. He helps those who help themselves.
Watching the before and after with the carbs was absolutely awesome
Whatever you decide to do with it, this sure looked like a fun project. Keep us posted!
Enjoyed watching you get to the next level with this old heap that shows real potential!
The look on your face when you opened it up with the Edelbrock carb was priceless! Sounded awesome too!
Hi Dylan. Thank you for your videos. I like this vidio on this little car it's ugly but it's small and cool and 4 speed I you restore this car it's cool
It's very worth fixing how much do you want for it
You made me smile when you road tested it with that last carb😊
I agree that "full restoration" wouldn't be worth the money. BUT... I'd patch the floors, throw some seat covers on the front buckets... MAYBE toss in a cheap replacement carpet. And thoroughly enjoy cruising her!
It sure was great fun watching you bring old red back to life!
It would be great to see her in a drag race!!!
Only you brother I liked the car a lot I do like that dodge neon in the background
Boy did that bring back some fun memories. The first car l owned was 1965 sport fury with a 413. It was a real smoker. Good job, thanks.
Im doing one with a console factory shifted automatic on old parts from a Mopar man.still has the 273 block but with Hi-Po 360 heads and foctory thermoqaud intake.All good but the floorpans so far.
I had a 1965 Plymouth Belvedere and had the same issue with the clutch, so I did the same thing, removed the over-center spring! Perfect!
My sister and brother in law bought a 1966 dart gt new had a hp 273 with a 4spd. Gold with white interior. You had to run premium (eythel) in it
Reminds me of an early Barracuda I had with the giant fastback glass window.. Love those old Mopars.
Been up since 5 am watching this video..great old red!
The Little Red Dart that Could!! She is worthy of some TLC Dylan. Put the Dart on a long term resto. Do a little here...a little there. I think she's worth it!
That white Camaro is sweet, I had a 79 base with a swapped in Olds 260ci it was slower then grandma walking up hill but I loved it as a high school kid 95-97
You're that crazy Uncle Ronny we all had as kids, but that young man you got helping you will actually have proof to go with his stories, go Old Red!
Same car with auto would be a snooze-fest but 4sp makes all the difference in the world. Not worth a resto, but maybe worth a new clutch. Like you said, lots of fun left to be had there.
Brings back memories. My 2nd car iwas a 65 gt with a slant six and three speed manual. Always wanted to drive the 4 speed.
Got my chance when i scored a 64 valiant signet with a smal block ans factory 4 speed and hurst shifter. What a blast to drive! Got plowed by a drunk unfortunately and that ended that dream. Sold it to some auto body shop kids. Who knows where it is now
I had a 1965 dodge dart 270 white 2 door slant six 3 speed automatic. Had gt bucket seats. Street rod headers on it. Dad and I worked on it for two years before it was ready for the road.
Awesome to see the dart back @Dylan McCool
I had a white 65 Dart GT 170 slant with 3 on the column. I dropped in a 225 and put one of the square exhaust mufflers on it. I found some 13” chrome reverse wheels. People who didn’t know the car couldn’t believe it had a six in it.
That last carburetor change, that is the best sound when it is opened up. Beautiful!!!
I saw one the exact same color it was hot rodded was pulling out of a parking lot just smoking the tires. Pretty sweet
Loved your expression when the secondary kicked in after Edelbrock swap. I think it deserves some floor pans and some rust repair...she deserves some TLC. Fun video.
Man. Old red is awesome!!! Wow.
Nice to see its driving round the @25:00 mark not bad
I had a black 1965 dart with a 273 ci engine with a 4 speed and it was a convertible. Sold it for $800 and it was in very good shape. That was back in the 80's. My guess is it has gone through the crusher by now.
I had a1964 Dodge Dart GT, V8 4 speed.Sold it,tracked it for 20 plus years.Lost track of it,would love to buy it back. A guy in Lake City Washington owned it.
Dylan, I'll bet you I have kids older than you; yet this video connected with me to the Nth degree! Kudos to you for being willing to work on priceless works of American like this Dart. When I was your age (likely literally), my father was given his mother's car (my grandmother), a 65 Dart - slant 6 with a 3 on the tree. He let me drive it for an entire semester to college in Tulsa, and I was blessed by the experience. Powder blue, 13 in rims, et al. This video definitely took me back!!!
Anything is worth fixing if you want/love it enough, my '66 Dart GT we build into my "Yard Dart" had about the same level of rust but had the added hill-billy package where they torched out the trans tunnel and it wasn't even a stick shift car, just a 273 4 barrel auto car. I honestly don't blame you for not wanting to get involved in restoring that car, I just picked up a 64 Polara 500 383 4 speed console car and the more carpet I peel out, the more of the floor comes with it, but I will fix it, even if I have to get creative with patch panels. That is a very cool '65 if you want to sell it, I know someone who'd be interested.
Keep going with it Mr. Dylan! 😎🍻
Being on a limited budget (can't afford Chargers, GTX's, Road Runners, etc,), I've always been a fan of Valiants and Darts. Easy on the wallet and fun to work on---like 318s and 225s.
That last carb you put in totally woke up that 318.. Nice 🍻👍.. I think it should be restored to.
My sister had a 65 Dart 273 with posi. My grandmother gave it to her for High school graduation in 1974. It was mint with like 30,000 miles. It was pretty quick for what it was.
The possibilities! Have fun tinkering with Ole Red.
The dash reminds me of my friend’s dad’s ‘65 Polara. Car ran like a champ for 15 years until it was stolen.
It's not a Chevy, but it deserves to be restored anyway! It's good to see, it is McCool, Dylan!
these cars were about the best compact cars of the area,
The A 833 , 4 speed gearbox with either the 225 or the 273 engine was the best combination
good video.
She's a good looking old beast. I'd love to see this made structurally sound, the surviving red paint buffed to a shine and a coat of clear applied to preserve the patina. A better set of buckets up front and then send it 👍
I love your face after you finally put the good carb on it and took it out and punched it. ahhh 318s will really surprise you if you give them the proper love!
Those light lil A's are fun as heck with a 4 speed and any V8. Hearing that new carb do its thing while you were shifting put a smile on my face all the way from Illinois. As it stands now, it might be a high 15 sec car in the 1/4. With a good clutch, more engine tuning, and a pair of 9 inch slicks I'll bet it'll do low 14s at around 95 mph. And that is BB B body territory.
I’m looking SO much foreword too part three!
It’s gonna be epic!
Fix this car Dylan it is just too cool Brother
WoW ,you can hear the power . Not bad man these cars were not 500 hp fuel injection cars of today. Any old car running like that is fun.
That's funny I watched sleeper dude get the parts car running on his channel I watch all the Cool people like you so keep on keeping on love the Chanel
Frame looks pretty good other then the floors especially sitting so deep in the mud
Growing up in the ‘50’s and ‘60’s 1965 was the year I thought all manufacturers had great styling. Even ol’ red here. What a cool little car, and that’s coming from a GM guy
Just picked up a 2014 Mustang and the clutch pedal was the same way. It felt almost like a video game clutch pedal. Removed the spring and it felt like an actual clutch again.
I had a 1965 Dart GT in my teen years. Fun car
I have a 65 Dart GT myself mine is a automatic on the floor I went and changed from size 13 tires to 14 though it took a couple years to find 5 size 14 rims but I'm much happier with 14's on it.
Loved the power shifting, glad Sleeperdude helped you out, i was wondering if he was going to do anything with it.
I had an 63 valiant wagon, push button slant 6. lived in Minnesota , I put on manual choke , lower radiator heater hose. 25 below people fighting to start their cars. Mine would start. wish I still had it. cool dash.
I see you followed my advice and contacted Sleeperdude and bought the Dart for the Parts to save old Red. Good Going Dylan.
Night and day difference once you swapped the carb! Sounds good
Dylan, put your black tee shirts on the top of the Bucket Seats. A 70s thing. Time for a Clutch Headers and Cam and Lifters aluminum Manifold and add that new tank. Make a Nice little hot 🔥 Rod
273 heads, double pumper, and make sure the cam kit comes with beehive springs too.
You're doing some awesome stuff Dylan. Honestly you really don't see too many darts of that era, maybe you should consider more of a restoration. Great work as always and an awesome video 👍✌️🇺🇲
You gotta put floors and quarter panel caps. The car is worth it.
35:01 The look on your face when you hit that carb..... watched it like ten times....
Check your ramp/lift when you first lift the car, hell of a flex in the post closest to the camera
Love those hand torches awesome always helping break bokts a part
That car has a lot of character. I remember seeing a few of them in the early ‘70’s. It would look great with a repaint of the Tor-red, jacked up in the rear a bit and some fat tires on the rear, skinnies on the front with classic centerlines or 5-star rims. Yeah, 1965 wasn’t the most attractive year for Dodge, but it has some great charm.
I have always liked this vehicle one of my favorite vehicles when fixed and looking good its an awesome vehicle beautiful car..
Dylan I would flip that old Plymouth while you’re ahead and running ok. You got it running pretty good! Congratulations! 💯👊
Dylan McCool Love That Dart Hope you Can get it Up and Going Keep Up the good work Billy Lizza Uniontown pa
A good clutch , headers, exhausts wheels and tires... Would love to have this car very nice..
My first car in the late eighties was a well worn 65 Dart 270 2 door post, 225 slant six and torqueflite automatic. Actually same color red as in this episode. Drivetrain was bullet proof and was a good highway car, weak link was the front end parts, same problem as Mustangs and Chevy II models of that era.
I would replace the floors and any other damaged structure. go thru the suspension, steering, brakes to get it completely safe to drive, fix up the interior some, maybe some performance mods to the engine and just enjoy it. Not even worry about the body. It's a perfect driver/ ratty muscle car. Not every old car/truck needs to be a perfectly restored example to enjoy them.
I grew up hearing stories of my dad's red 65 Dart GT convertible that he had when he was in the army. He said the front end liked to lift at 90 mph and the steering would get very light. He traded it in on a brand new red 1969 Dart GT convertible that had the black stripe on the rear, when he got back from Vietnam. It was some special edition/prepped by some speed shop. It had some very steep rear end gears and a Hurst shifter that sounds like a dual gate by the way he described it. But he said he couldn't keep rear tires on it. The first night he had it. He pulled out of gas station, stomped the old go pedal to the floor and left two stripes on the pavement for over a block. And then got pulled over by the cops and got his first of many tickets in it. He said the 69 was a blast to drive but he always regretted getting rid of the 65 GT.
You can install a 318 with a mild towing cam to replace the 273 which was an economy engine, a step up from the 225 Slant Six. The 318 will run on regular gas and be a vast improvement over the 273. You already have the right manual transmission and rear axle for the 318 engine. We did this modification to my friend's 1968 Dodge Dart many years ago. Ran like a champ.
It’s got a 318 with Comp 270.
at 35:06, sounds exactly the Saber (vert's car) from Hot Wheels Battle Force 5, man i love this engine sound!
Love the Dart Dylan. I am so glad you are my brother in Christ!
I had a 66’ Valiant with a 318 swapped in, 3 speed automatic with shift kit, backed by a limited slip rear end. Very fast little car. Put some hood pins on that thing, because sooner than later, that hood is going to rip up and block your view out the windshield, lol
Maybe replace the floors with some washer and dryer material and a few self tapers . Take one from junkyard digs and pole barn garage . Build it on a budget right and get it back on the road.
What fun...Runs good for being in a coma.I don't think I would be throwin' too many more full throttle shifts,the clutch in that car was weak when it was new...I would say you're really pushin' it!
I'm a die-hard Ford guy but that car is a fighter and screams. She deserves life.
I SWEAR
that same country road is featured in TONS of TH-cam videos...
Every time someone is speeding or doing a burnout, it's THAT ROAD! 😂
