It\u2019s been a long, exciting haul since the first story on the Great Texas Mopar\u00ae<\/sub> Auction Event hit DodgeGarage back in June of 2021. All summer long, the stories continued every week until the October 13th<\/sup> and 14th<\/sup> auction date arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long story\nshort, the auction generated over three quarters of a million dollars for the\nestate of the late John Haynie, the Texas Mopar enthusiast who gathered these\n280 cars together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve now come to the final story in this saga. Here, let\u2019s take a post-sale look at some of the more mainstream Mopar offerings from the John Haynie estate. Though John Haynie focused on 1955 through 1962 Chrysler products, he also appreciated the more accessible models from the later sixties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1963 Dodge Dart Convertible<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"1963<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This spiffy red 1963 Dodge Dart GT convertible sold for just $2,990, roughly $228 more than it cost new 59 years ago. Back in \u201963, the base sticker price for a Dart GT convertible was $2,512. This one has the push-button TorqueFlite\u00ae<\/sup> automatic transmission ($192) and Music Master AM radio ($58), bringing the total to $2,762.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Records show that Dodge built 34,227 Dart GTs in 1963 – convertible output isn\u2019t known but is likely less than 25 percent of the total. The GT got front bucket seats and flashy trim \u2013 but no hot rod engine upgrades. That\u2019s because the 273 small block V8 wasn\u2019t introduced until 1964 (as a $108 upgrade).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So even though this flashy little redhead has the 225 Slant Six, it\u2019ll be a great cruiser for its new owner. An additional perk is the fact the buyer is from Liberty Hill, Texas, a mere 43 miles from the Big Spring, Texas, location of the late John Haynie\u2019s Great Texas Mopar Hoard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
