My wife can’t believe that her “compact” 1965 Dodge Dart GT was 4 feet longer than her Nissan. Although a good car by 1965 standards, it would be the bottom of the barrel today. We kept ours for 13 years, and replaced just about everything over that period, except the engine and transmission, which were bullet-proof.
Just the same, the following items were replaced:
- Alternator (2X)
- Gas tank
- Starter
- Torsion bar anchor
- Drive shaft universals
- Shocks (2X)
- Exhaust system (3X)
- Battery (2X)
- Water pump
- Ignition switch
- Paint job
- Distributor shaft
- Windshield washers
- Master cylinder
- Turn signals
- Transmission shift cable
- Seat belts
- Leaking head gasket
18 Heater fan motor - Brakes and drums (2X)
