This 1973 Dodge Colt hardtop is said to have been purchased in November 1973 as a display vehicle for a Dodge dealership in Vancouver, British Columbia, and was acquired by the owner on BaT in December 2021. The car is finished in red over white vinyl upholstery with a white vinyl roof and is powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder linked with a four-speed manual transmission. Features include front bucket seats, an AM radio, and aftermarket Panasport wheels. This Colt is now offered on dealer consignment in California at no reserve with factory hubcaps, a removed towing ball mount, a 1973 Dodge Colt press kit, contemporary dealer advertising materials, and a clean Illinois title.

This two-door hardtop is finished in red with a white vinyl roof and features a pillar-less profile, “1600” badging on the front fenders, triple accent lines stamped into the rear fenders, 5-mph front and 2.5-mph rear chrome bumpers, and electric windshield washers. The paint is said to have been refinished under previous ownership. Blemishes are displayed in the gallery.

Panasport 14″ wheels are mounted with 185/60 BFGoodrich Touring T/A TR4 tires. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes. The factory hubcaps are included in the sale and can be seen in the photo gallery.

The front bucket seats and rear bench are trimmed in white vinyl joined by a color-coordinated headliner and door panels contrasted by a black dashboard and carpeting. Amenities include an inside hood release, an AM radio, a cigar lighter, a glove compartment, and an instrument panel package tray. The interior is said to have been refurbished under previous ownership.

A two-spoke steering wheel on a tilt column frames a horizontal 120-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 29k miles, and true mileage is unknown.

The 1.6-liter Mitsubishi inline-four produced 85 horsepower and 90 lb-ft. of torque when new.

Power is sent to the rear wheels by a four-speed manual transmission with synchronized forward gears. Additional underside photos are presented in the photo gallery on Bring a Trailer.
