Design

The car had a 119 in (3,000 mm) wheelbase and was 208.1 in (5,290 mm) long.[3] There was also a higher trimmed 440 and Polara available.[2]

The base engine was the 225 Slant-Six. The 318 2bbl, 361 2bbl, 383 2bbl, 383 4bbl, and 426 4bbl were optional.

As an intermediate trim level above the Dart, it came standard with a cigarette lighter, front foam cushions, and rear arm rests.[2]>

The Dodge 330 Max Wedge was a 330 2 door sedan powered by the 426 Max Wedge with dual 4 Barrel Carburetors and 425 hp (317 kW). It was available in both years, mostly ordered as a super stocker for the race tracks.

For the 1965 model year, full-sized Dodges were built on the new C Body with a 121 in (3,073 mm) wheelbase, and the 330 and 440 were both replaced by the new, bigger Polara. The 880 now took the Polara's former place in the lineup. In Canada, however, the 330 was continued for one more year as the base model full-size Dodge (using the new-for-1965 body).
