For sale is my 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger that was born with a 340 and a 3 speed manual transmission on the floor. The vin, fender tag, door tag, the number stamped on the trunk lip under the weatherstripping all match. I also have the build sheet, so this is the real deal. The Dart is also a California car.
The engine and transmission......The 340 engine and the four speed manual transmission that are in the Dart right now came out of a 1969 Cuda. The Cuda engine had a high quality rebuild about 8 years ago and that's when the Cuda engine was put in for the original 340. The Cuda engine starts right up and runs strong. The transmission also runs strong and shifts with no problems. I still have the original numbers matching 340 that the Dart was born with but I do not have the original 3 speed transmission that it was born with. The Cuda engine doesn't have a bunch of miles on it since the rebuild, the Dart was sitting for a while and only driven from time to time.
Interior......The interior is all black and could use a new headliner, new carpet, new door panels, new dash pad and rear seat reupholstered. I do not have the original front split bench seat anymore, the front seats in it now are just some bucket seats out of a old charger. I took the carpet and seats out so that you can see the floor pans in the photo, there is no rust at all. The gauges, heater, speedometer and lights all work but I don't have the original tachometer anymore, it has an aftermarket tachometer now. I don't have the original am radio either, it now has a cd player.
Exterior......The body and trunk are rust free except for a small area on the lower driver's side rear quarter panel, see photo. The rust has only affected the outside metal and not the interior metal of the quarter panel, it looks like to be an easy fix. I do not have the original hood and hood scoops anymore, the hood was damaged years ago when a box fell on it. It didn't damage anything else but the hood and slightly bent the hood hinge, that's why the hood on it now doesn't line up that well. The hood now is just a stock hood from a 1970 dart. The Dart was born with Hemi Orange paint and a black stripe on the trunk. The Dart has been sitting out in the sun for years and the paint shows it. The black stripe has also been taken off. The body is very straight but has a few minor dents/blemishes, nothing that can't easily be fixed. All the glass looks good but the windshield will need to be replaced due to a long crack. All the lights and blinkers work.
You can view the photo of the vin and fender tag printout to see what the Dart was originally born with.
I'm sure there are many things that I forgot to mention but just send me an email and I'll get back to you.
This is a very solid car. The Dart is fast, loud and a lot of fun to drive.

Dodge Charger Hellcat hitting 60 in 2.9 seconds on drag radials?
Thu, 02 Oct 2014The Dodge boys and their cousins from SRT have shoehorned the same 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged V8 into both the Dodge Challenger and Charger. The former being a two-door, it's lighter than the latter four-door sedan. So it would stand to reason that the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would be the quicker of the two, right?
Only that's not necessarily proving to be the case. On stock rubber, yes, the coupe beats the sedan: Dodge quotes a 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds for the Charger SRT Hellcat and 3.5 for the Challenger. Same gap across the quarter-mile: 11 seconds flat for the Charger versus 10.8 seconds for the Challenger. But according to recent reports, the story changes when you put both on drag radials.
While visiting Chrysler HQ in Auburn Hills, MI, TorqueNews.com caught wind of performance figures for the Charger Hellcat on drag tires: 0-60 in a mind-blowing 2.9 seconds and a quarter-mile in just 10.7. The latter figure just barely pips the Hellcat-powered Challenger's NHRA-certified figure of 10.8, making the Charger not only the fastest sedan on the market, but also the fastest muscle car. What isn't immediately clear, however, is whether the drag radials in question have any tread on them and are street-legal, or if they're pure slicks confined to a closed strip.
Chrysler's Woodward Dream Cruise festivities include Ram concept truck debut
Tue, 13 Aug 2013The streets will be crowded next weekend along Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan for the 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. As part of the run-up to the festivities, Chrysler has announced that all of its brands - Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, SRT and Mopar - will bring along their latest vehicles. Also included will be a collection of classic American cars and various activities for attendees at the official Chrysler location on the corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road.
Special to this year, Ram brand director Bob Hegbloom and head of design John Dehner will unveil a Ram concept truck on Saturday. Chrysler will also bring Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame along to show off a few custom Chrysler-made vehicles of his own. Fans of the brand on Facebook will get the chance to virtually customize a vehicle from the automaker's portfolio, with the winner getting their dream car built for them by Chrysler. Pretty cool stuff, no?
As in past years, Ford and General Motors will have an official presence at the event as well, and you can expect to see plenty of cars of all makes and models from all parts of the globe. The madness starts this Friday, August 16, from 4:30 PM to 10 PM, with the main event taking place on Saturday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. For more details on the show, including events and their times, check out the press release below.
Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat ringtone revs up [w/video]
Wed, 30 Jul 2014The best (or worst, depending on your views) thing about smartphones is that you're able to carry lots, and lots of useful stuff around in your pocket. That means you can always have a phone, messaging service, email, flashlight, calculator, dictionary, encyclopedia, and literally thousands of other things on your person at all times. Now, we can add one more thing for you to carry about in your little slab of aluminum, glass and plastic - a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
Now, you obviously can't carry around a 707-horsepower muscle car around in your pocket. That'd be ridiculous, impractical and uncomfortable. You can, however, carry around the noise made by said muscle car's 6.2-liter, supercharged Hemi V8, thanks to a new, free-to-download ringtone from the folks at Dodge and SRT.
We can't embed the ringtone here, so if you'd like to hear exactly how it'll sound when your phone goes off, you'll need to head over to the SRT Hellcat's page. If that's more trouble than it's worth, the same ringtone was attached to a tiny speaker on the press kit for the mighty Challenger, and was captured on video by our own Seyth Miersma (don't worry, he's already been soundly dressed down for shooting a video in portrait mode).
