A '61 Dodge Dart Phoenix with 383 cross-ram and manual trans recently crossed my radar. I know nothing about them having recently completed a '66 426 hemi Belvedere. Owner claims 1 of 12 with the engine/trans combo. Sounds like the 383 was early '61 before the switch to a 413 later in '61 reading some of the threads on this site. Hoping to get educated before making an appt to see it this weekend. The design was apparently heavily panned in it's day but damn I think it looks sweet. The car is complete, supposedly engine rebuilt and body in primer. I'm hoping it's not already blown apart. What should I know about these, good/bad?
