"We, rob banks." ...it's the bank robber's getaway car! I always did love that roof line and back glass. ...I have a '61 Dodge Seneca 2-door sedan.

This looks like a bank robber's car.

When I was looking for a '61 Pioneer 2-door coupe 6 years ago none were available, I saw 2 on eBay Motors but they had no drivetrain, settled on a '61 Dodge Seneca 2-door sedan instead with a slant-6, 3-on-the-tree, radio delete, one-speed wiper, in white and the same interior. ...and I do remember seeing this car for sale back then.

These were the years when all of Chrysler Design section was on drugs.

Nice collection.

What a beast!.....One the last good looking Virgil Exner creations, before his descent into madness.................

Ahh, Virgil Exner......Great looking cars in late 50s,.Then weirder and uglier each year as he descended into madness.........................

I remember seeing those Plymouth Valiants everywhere when I was a kid.

I have two questions…since I plan on putting a 4-speed (OD) in my own, I’m wondering if you used an existing or your own fabbed floor tunnel piece. Also wondering if you went U-joints and upgraded rear end. If so, which one did you use? Thanks, and a very sweet ride.

My father used to own one in the early seventies. Nice and spacious but no air-conditioning . Who cares we live in Batangas a provincce.south of Manila. Afterwards everybody started buying small compact Japanese cars including my father.

Ugly,Yet,very Beautiful Creations

I was around then. They were uncommon where I lived. But mostly we ridiculed them when we saw them. After the Edsel, no "unique" design was safe.

That is sweet

I learned to drive on my dad's 1961 Dodge. Ours was a plain Jane Seneca 2 door sedan. I loved that car.

That green dash looks evil! Lol

Wow that thing homely

Sounds great !

nice. I have a 61 Seneca 2 door post with the slant 6 and 3 speed

the black one had a D-500 emblem on the back

A bit sinister lol

In 1965 my kindergarten teacher had one just like this. Thought it was a damn odd looking car then and still do…

How can something be so ugly and beautiful at the same time ❣️👍

Motor Trend did a road test comparison of the 61 Dart vs. Chevrolet and Ford. The Dart won rather completely, but the magazine writer conceded they weren’t judging the styling. To say the 61 Dodge was controversial would be charitable . Sales in the market were very hard to come by. Most were bought as fleet cars. Unfortunately for Chrysler Corp. what they had coming up for 1962 was more bizarre. .

Is that floor shifter original to the car also? Any of these Dodges that I saw had the 3 on the tree.

Cool! I had a 61 dodge Senica in 1970. 4 door, slant 6 with a 3 speed stick. Put a hurst floor shifter in it and had a fun car. I couldn’t kill it but I gave it to my younger brother and he managed to blow it up!

IN AUSTRALIA THESE WERE REFERRED TO AS, THE RV 1 SATT. SATT

ugly car

Back when you could tell one car from another. This one is a beauty.

Is this vehicle for sale?

Beautiful vehicle

Beautiful car, sounds healthy. Love the Max Wedge exhaust manifolds. Love the pattern on the seats , very cool.

Would that be considered a B body ? . Is it uni-body, or full frame .

Nice solid car, runs good, keeps up with modern traffic, even passing. Nice car.

what was that red light that came on when you started it up.......next to the "oil" and temp lights. Was it to remind you your emergency/park brake was engaged?????

whoooooooo GREEN DASH LIGHTS??????????? thats not stock is it?......looks great.

I had a 1962 Chrysler that was basically this car. I found it odd that there was no "park" in the automatic transmission. The park brake was connected to a brake drum on the drive shaft and even adjusted properly was very "iffy" if it would hold. I don't know if you already did this but a rear anti-sway bar on these old mopars make it amazing to drive. There was or still is a company called Addco in lake park florida that sold exact fit anti sway bars for my 1962. It made the car so much more stable .

61 dodges are so weird and awesome. I see this one was converted to floor shift. Great car

That's a real beauty, thanks for sharing.

The video from 7 years ago in the parking lot shows this, same license plate, with Pioneer script on the fins, but now it just has Dart. What's going on? I know the Phoenix was top of the line (spare tire bubble on the trunk), and then the Pioneer, and then the Seneca. All were Darts, right?

AND it's a 4 speed ?!? Be still my heart...

I graduated from highschool in 1967 so I grew up in an era of beautiful cars. I owned a 55 Chevy, a 60 Chevy, a 65 Mustang and a 68 Cougar etc. Sorry folks but this is one of the most butt-ugly cars ever built IMHO.

I owned a bronze 4 door, automatic, straight six. I always wished that I could have kept it. It rode so nice.

Die sieht wirklich toll aus.Gefällt mir sehr gut.👍👍👍👍👍

4 sale?

4GET IT ....MANUAL ? NO THX

SQUAD CAR

Most unusual. I didn't know about this rare Dodge.

Beautiful Dodge Dart. I was expecting it to have the push button torque flight automatic, you fooled me with this one 😄

That looks like one that was for sale in AZ a while back. Great car, I see it's got a floor shift in it now. I'm on the fence with my own '61 Pioneer 2-door post, but I'm leaning toward keeping it on the tree. I have an A833 which would make that car awesome, but cutting the floor on an FL car feels a lot more taboo (to me, I support people cutting their cars and modding them to their heart's content, regardless of whether or not I would do it). If I ever blow the A903 (which is inevitable), I'll probably put in an A230 that I have and keep it on the tree. I have a slant car, though so no big deal. I gotta say, in the other video, that floor shifter looks so factory-correct. I bet your car is so much more drivable now. Is it the (presumably) BW T86, or a 4-speed conversion? Whichever it is, it appears to be done well.

A lot of people thought these were ugly, but I’ve always liked the design. 📻🙂
