The Phoenix is a rare car that you don't see much of anymore- they were fairly rare even when they were new; they are really hard to come by now! Parts are VERY hard to find for it, I would imagine- especially in the UK! Looks like you have a good starting point. In all the shows I've gone to, I don't think I've seen more than a handful of them!

 

Mothertrucker - you still have your Dart? I just bought a 60 Dart Pioneer 2D HT. Basically all original. Many mechanicals available at local stores.

 

Welcome to D.Forum.

 

Hi Dannebrog.
Glad to hear there is another Phoenix in the world.
We saw one at one of our shows although that one was a four door but very nicely done out.
Ours is still running well although there is always something more to do on it.

 

Im in the US - Long Island, about 30 miles east of NYC. It's actually a Dart Pioneer. Picked it up from a dealer in Indiana on eBay. 54k miles. Fine shape - a runner, though the brakes are shot. First old car in a long time so I'm still getting used to particular sights, sounds, and smells again (oil, gas, smoke, etc). Plan was to drive it for a while, then sell it as is. But I'm already smitten and looking for hi-po upgrades and ways to restore it. Everything is there and mostly original (except tires). Interior is complete but dried out. Any special advice on anything?

Hi! I can tell you of 2 I know of here in the USA one is in Cornwall N.Y and the other is in Middletown N.Y. . Both are in really nice shape great examples of a forgotten Mopar!

 

Hey that one looks in great shape.Dodge of cosurse used to change the shape of their cars every year and we met a guy who had a 1961 model Phoenix and it was totally different to ours. you would not have believed they would give it the same model name.
I have come across three other 1960 models here in the UK but they were all four door sedans. After making enquiries I believe we have the only two door model in the country.
If i am wrong maybe someone will come on here and let me know.

 

Well I hope this posting pictures works guys.

One of our Dodge on the road and waiting to go to a show.
