1970 Dodge Dart on 2040-cars
San Pierre, Indiana, United States
If you have any questions feel free to email me at: donalddzzerhusen@boltonfans.com .
Up for sale is my 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger 340. I bought this car out of California earlier this year and had it
shipped via semi here to me in Indiana. This car has a pretty good history behind it in that it was given away by
Regal Gas stations and Hancock oil company thru H.W. Hunter Antelope valley Dodge which is still in business today.
And YES I have the original ticket laminated that goes with the car. Back in the day regal gas stations had
promotions that gave away items for using there gas stations and as you can imagine this would have been the top
prize. The car was given away april 10 1970 to a lucky winner. The front license plate frame still shows H.W.
Hunter Dodge. Now for the car. It is original Hemi orange black top and black scat pack tail stripe car. The paint
is original and a few spots has been repainted in the past like the drivers front fender the stripes. Rear pan
under bumper has been replaced therefore it has new paint on it thus why the tail stripe doesnt follow on down. The
paint does have sum scratches and body has sum dents and dings but as I have said this car is original time
capsule. The motor is the 275 h.p. 340 and man it runs great! The motor has a warrenty replacment block from the
factory it does not have any numbers stamped on the block pad although it is date coded for 1970 therefore I
believe it to be as stated. It does have an new edlebrock carb but I do have the original carter that was on it.
Motor has been upgraded to electronic orange box ignition. Has a 727 trans and it does drip from the front seal,
The trans is the original numbers matching unit. has duel exhaust with cross over pipe and flowmaster style
mufflers and sounds great. Rear end is a 8 3/4 with 3.23 gears single track. I have changed the rear rubber brake
line and installed a new master cylinder that is true to car. Has manuel disc/drum brakes and stops great. Has
power steering. I put all 4 new shocks with rear coil overs on it also. Has a new gas tank and gauge does work. The
interior is in great condition no rips or tears carpet is newer. All gauges work and has the rare rallye dash
package with tac in the center. Wipers work. Blower motor flexible piping that goes to defrosters are gone.Glove
box light even works. Tires are in great condition and original rallye rims on car. One small spot under top as
shown in pics. The only rust spot is in the spare tire trunk area as seen in pic other then that what you see is
just paint degrigation cause it is all original.

Mopar '14 teased, returns to Challenger
Wed, 16 Oct 2013Every year, Mopar selects one special vehicle from the Chrysler portfolio and creates its own, one-off, special edition. Previously, there was the Mopar '13 Dart, '12 300, '11 Charger and the '10 Challenger, and for 2014, this teaser image shows that the company will be giving the unique treatment to Dodge's muscle coupe yet again.
Mopar has not revealed any details about its '14 Challenger, though the brand's president and CEO, Pietro Gorlier, says that "This limited-edition ride is for muscle-car fans who love high octane and customizable performance." All we know is, it's white, has some blue stripes, and a black (or carbon fiber) rear spoiler.
We'll know more when the Mopar '14 Challenger is revealed at the SEMA show in early November. In the meantime, click the image above to check out the teaser in high resolution, and have a look below for Chrysler's official press blast.
Lackluster Dodge Dart sales trigger layoffs
Thu, 06 Mar 2014Hidden amidst the overall very positive sales figures that Chrysler released earlier this week were a few disappointments, the biggest of which may be the Dodge Dart. While Dodge sales in general were down 11 percent from a year ago, the Dart's poor figures stood out from the rest - with 4,888 units sold, the Dart was down 37 percent in February.
It comes as little surprise, then, that the automaker has announced layoffs at its assembly plant in Belvidere, IL. According to The Daily Herald, Dodge will temporarily lay off 325 workers "to balance vehicle supply with current sales demand." Put more simply, there are more Darts than buyers at the moment...
We don't think the Dodge Dart is a bad car, but it's playing in a market that offers a few standout sellers, like the Chevy Cruze, Ford Focus, Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. According to AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan, as quoted by The Daily Herald, "great incentives on the Dodge Avenger" are also partly to blame for the Dart's poor showing.
NHTSA investigating Chrysler for airbags, ignition switches
Wed, 18 Jun 2014Chrysler is being targeted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in a pair of actions that focus on over 1.2 million Jeeps, minivans and crossovers.
The first is a "preliminary investigation" that focuses on an airbag issue afflicting the Jeep Commander built in model years 2006 and 2007 and Grand Cherokee from 2005 to 2006. In total, 700,000 vehicles could potentially be affected. It's not entirely clear what the airbag issue is, with The Detroit Free Press simply stating that the restraint systems in the affected Jeeps may be "faulty."
The other investigation is what's called a "recall query" and it covers a problem that General Motors should be familiar with. In this case, there could be a problem with the ignition switches of 525,000 vehicles, ranging from 2008 to 2010 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans, to the 2008 to 2010 Dodge Journey crossover. Again, it's not entirely clear what sort of behavior prompted the 32 complaints that NHTSA has received on these vehicles.
