The Dodge 330 is a mid-size car marketed by Dodge for the 1962 model year as a trim level above the base Dodge Dart. For the 1963 and 1964 model years, the 330 was the base trim of the mid-size lineup. It is one of the first unibody vehicles using the B-Body. The 330 series was available in two-door or four-door sedan body designs.[1] Dodge discontinued the 330 model name for the 1964 model year (1965 in Canada).[2]

Design

Virgil Exner designed the 1962 models, while Elwood Engel revised the styling for 1963 and 1964.

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 is a 330 two-door sedan powered by the 426 Max Wedge featuring dual 4-barrel carburetors and rated at 415 hp (309 kW). It was available in both years, mostly ordered as a super stock car for drag racing.

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, 440 and 880 were all replaced by the new, bigger Polara. In Canada, however, the 330 was continued for one more year as the base model full-size Dodge (using the new-for-1965 body).
