Dodge Dart came to be in 1960 in three trim levels: Seneca, Pioneer, and Phoenix.
Most models rolling off the assembly lines used the base Seneca treatment, but the mid-range Pioneer and the top-of-the-range Phoenix helped propel the Dart to the top of Dodge's sales chart.
The Dart lineup breathed new life into Dodge's domestic strategy, pushing the total output in 1960 to nearly 368,000 units.
Customers ordering the Dart could stick with the base 225 six-cylinder or go for more performance by choosing one of two V8s available for this model year. The base unit was the 318, while a 361 served as an option. Dodge expanded the V8 lineup with a 383 in 1961, providing customers with upgraded power.
A 1960 Dodge Dart Seneca 2-door sedan made its way to eBay earlier this week, trying to leave a junkyard for a new home where it could receive a full overhaul.
The car flexes the typical junkyard condition, so it comes with heavy rust in the usual places. The floors and the trunk pan are the ones looking the most concerning, but overall, this Dart Seneca exhibits a shape that's surprising for a car this old.
While the metal's condition is obvious, things are a lot more mysterious under the hood. The only tidbit we know is that the Dart rolled off the assembly lines with a 225 in charge of putting the wheels in motion. A slant-six is still under the hood, though nobody knows if this is the original mill or a replacement unit.
Its condition is also a big enigma, as eBay seller sskstmz did not inspect the engine and can't tell if it starts or turns over by hand. Considering the car's overall shape, a seized V8 wouldn't be surprising, but a good mechanic should be able to decrypt more information with a quick visual inspection in person.
The owner claims this Dart Seneca would make for a great Hemi-powered car, but if the six-cylinder engine is still alive, it could also return to a head-turning survivor. The original key is still in the ignition.
The selling price makes sense for a base 1960 Dart. The owner believes $2,750 is a fair price for their Dart Seneca, but they also enabled the Make Offer option on eBay. Buyers who want the car but don't want to pay that much can contact the seller with their offer. Chances are the seller has already received several offers, as eBay statistics indicate that over 70 people are watching the listing.
Buyers who want to see the Dart Seneca in person must travel to Brunswick, Nebraska. A trailer will be needed to take the car home, considering its shape.
