For sale is a 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger 340, 4 speed
History: The Dart was born with a 340, 3 speed manual transmission on the floor, Hemi orange exterior and black interior. I purchased the Dart several years ago from my neighbor and he had owned it since 2004. My neighbor purchased it from the original owner and the Dart is a California car. The vin, door tag, fender tag and the hidden vin underneath the trunk lip all match. I also have the build sheet. There were 13,785 Dodge Dart swinger 340's built in 1970. Of those cars, 6582 were built with an automatic transmission and 5744 were built with a 4 speed manual on the floor. There were only 1,459 built with a three speed manual on the floor. So as far as 1970 Dart Swinger 340's go, the 3 speed is the rarest. Exterior: The Dart has no rust issues and the body is in pretty good shape but does have two dents. The dents are both on the left side rear quarter panel (see the last two photos). The original paint was badly faded and I really like the flat dark gray/black look, so I sprayed the Dart with dark gray primer. All the chrome is original and all the glass looks good, except for the front windshield which has a crack that runs from top to bottom. Interior: Since I have owned it, I put in new carpet, headliner, and a package tray. The rear seat and dash pad has some tears/rips and the front seat is not the original bench seat. The sun visors will need to be replaced. Engine: The 340 engine and the 4 speed transmission that are in the Dart right now came out of a 1969 cuda. The engine was rebuilt about 8 years ago with high quality parts. The engine and transmission do not leak anything and both run great. There is about 20,000 miles put on the rebuilt engine. The heads from the original engine are on the cuda engine and the heads have a U stamped on them. I have the original engine which goes with the Dart but I do not have the original 3 speed transmission. There is nothing wrong with the original engine. Wheels: The rims are Show wheel Streeters 17x7 with 225x45x17 Falken times. The rims and tires have about 3,000 miles on them. If you don't want the rims that are on it, I can put on black Mopar steel rims which have newer tires and Mopar dog dish hub caps. If you choose the steel wheels instead of the Show wheels, you can deduct $500 off the price. Everything works on the Dart as it should, except for oil pressure gauge. I put in a new oil pressure sending unit but it didn't fix the problem. I'm guessing that the gauge itself doesn't work. The Dart is currently registered and I drive it about once or twice a week. The furthest I have driven the Dart in one shot was about 120 miles. The Dart starts right up every time and it is a blast to drive. The Dart has always been garaged kept since I have owned it. I hate to sell the Dart but I have had my fun with it and it's time to let someone else enjoy it. The Dart would be an excellent restoration project or it could just be enjoyed as it sits. For any questions just send me a message. See the photo for the decoded fender tag. |

Chrysler recalling 780k minivans over fire risk
Fri, 09 May 2014Chrysler is recalling 780,000 of its Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2010 to 2014 model years due to the possibility of circuits overheating, which can lead to a fire. Of the 780,000 total vans being recalled, Chrysler estimates that 644,850 are in the US, 106,980 are in Canada, 8,009 are in Mexico, and 20,638 are in other markets. All of the affected vehicles were built between August 25, 2010 and October 31, 2013.
Chrysler's engineers discovered that beverage spills or exposure to moisture (from rain, snow, car washes, and the like) were linked to circuits shorting in the window switch assembly. Short circuits can overheat, and thus, cause a fire.
Chrysler will contact owners and let them know when they may schedule service, at which point, the window switches will be replaced. In the interim, the automaker says that owners may visit their dealers after May 14 to have the switches disconnected.
Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes
Wed, 02 Apr 2014Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.
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.
