Default Dodge Phoenix

Hi.
My pasrtner and I have been lucky enough to aquire a 1960 Dodge Dart Phoenix. I saw the casr at a show in 1990 and fell in love with it and I managed to actually get it two weeks ago. It has been left to go badly downhill and we have started restoration. Whast we would like to know is how many other Phoenix's asre still around, and how can I find out how many are in the UK.
Any help or advice on restoration would not go amiss either.
Glad to find this site and look forward to hearing from other Dodge enthisiasts.

Thanks Dusty
Hope to get some positive feedback from anybody who knows ANYTHING about the Phoenix model.
Will be getting down and dirty in the garage this weekend, welding the hole in the trunk and stripping off the chrome fro polishing.

Welcome to DF. This is the place to come for getting ideas, checking out other peoples rides, asking questions and sharing knowledge. Lots of good people here. Glad to have you aboard.

Nice find. Don't give up the search. Given time I am sure somebody who is familiar with the Phoenix will emerge. You might try posting over in the Classic section.

Thanks Guys for making us feel so welcome. Will be starting work on the Phoenix this weekend, grinding out the rust and welding the hole in the boot. Already got the seats in to be recovered and hope to have the old girl out for the first event of the rodding season in March. Bit of a tall order but I reckon we can do it - even if she debuts in primer!
