Start with what the Dodge 330 is: a 2-door sedan (automobile) / sedan / 4-door sedan / 4-door station wagon / 2-door hardtop (1962) with 225 cuin Chrysler Slant-6 engine#225, built from 1962 to 1965, in the decade that gave the world the pony car and the mid-engined supercar. What it meant takes a little longer. The shape is credited to Virgil Exner.
The background
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 as a two-door or four-door sedan as well as a 6- or 9-passenger station wagon body design. Dodge discontinued the 330 model name for the 1964 model year (1965 in Canada).
The engineering
The engine is 225 cuin Chrysler Slant-6 engine#225; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. Drive goes through a 3-speed Manual transmission / manual 3-speed Automatic transmission / automatic. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is 119 in. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
In the Dodge line-up the Dodge 330 has a clear place: it handed the line to the Dodge Polara. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Alfa Romeo Giulia, the Ferrari 250 GTO, the Jaguar E-Type. Its Dodge stablemates include the Dodge 1500 and the 1955 Dodge.
Owning one today
There is no federal ownership record for the Dodge 330 — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
