Rare, interesting, original, and exceptionally affordable - this 1962 Dodge Lancer GT is a distinct classic with a terrific barn find story. So if you think the classic car experience is about driving something cool and talking to everyone when you arrive, this is the hardtop to do it.
Get your survivor awards ready because that glossy gray metallic is believed to be original. The story we're told is that this was pulled from a barn in 1985. It had a service sticker that backs up the belief that the low odometer reflects the full actual mileage. And the full package was believed to be all-original when taken out of its slumber. So it makes for a great story. Then again, it's hard not to get excited about this Lancer. Dodge got their own version of the Valiant, but only for two years. And sticking true to the adage that classic Mopars are the rarest of the vintage set, there were only 14,140 of these GT models (with their exclusive hardtop style) produced in 1962. So they are quite hard to find nearly 60 years later. But more than just rarity, when you're offered an example like this one, it's time to take notice. The convex grille, wraparound chrome bumpers, plenty of bright trim, ... Please ask for the full description.

Rare, interesting, original, and exceptionally affordable - this 1962 Dodge Lancer GT is a distinct classic with a terrific barn find story. So if you think the classic car experience is about driving something cool and talking to everyone when you arrive, this is the hardtop to do it.
Get your survivor awards ready because that glossy gray metallic is believed to be original. The story we're told is that this was pulled from a barn in 1985. It had a service sticker that backs up the belief that the low odometer reflects the full actual mileage. And the full package was believed to be all-original when taken out of its slumber. So it makes for a great story. Then again, it's hard not to get excited about this Lancer. Dodge got their own version of the Valiant, but only for two years. And sticking true to the adage that classic Mopars are the rarest of the vintage set, there were only 14,140 of these GT models (with their exclusive hardtop style) produced in 1962. So they are quite hard to find nearly 60 years later. But more than just rarity, when you're offered an example like this one, it's time to take notice. The convex grille, wraparound chrome bumpers, plenty of bright trim, and artful tailfins all came together to give this compact one of the most complex and substantial designs of the 1960s. So when it's all this clean and complete, you know you're looking at something special.
The bronze interior is a harmonizing color with the exterior, so it gives you another reason to love keeping all the windows down on this pillarless hardtop. The bronze is well-coordinated on the door panels, dashboard, and special bucket seats. You can see all of this clearly thanks to the original-style interior remaining in stellar fashion. It has a full time capsule kind of presentation, but you will notice one modern upgrade. The AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input is cleanly installed under the dash to deliver better all-day driving music. You get to take full command of this Mopar with the dual-spoke wheel, and it has a thin design to provide an excellent view of the full panel. Not only does this house the usual pieces like the large speedometer and secondary gauges, but also the heat/defrost controls. Plus, mounted here are the nifty push-button controls for the three-speed automatic transmission.
Lift the hood and see a very honest and original-style engine bay. The big red intake and block really add some aggressive distinction, and the GT model earns this characteristic. It was the top-of-line trim and one of the most expensive Lancers. It was the only one to get an engine upgrade. So while its siblings received 170ci six-cylinder, this GT model was powered by a 225 cubic-inch unit. Dodge claimed these larger powerplants were good for a 40% increase in horsepower. Plus, Chrysler used these motors as part of a two-year experiment with an aluminum block. That means a lighter and more powerful setup, and it is surely felt on the road. The compact and lightweight Lancer GT moves with confidence and pep. In fact, this very American coupe feels a bit European in its manners.
Here's a cool coupe with survivor qualities that's a rare sight at most cruise-ins and events. We bet you're intrigued, and at this affordable price, you're not the only one. So hurry up and call today!
