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.

Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango to lose color options temporarily

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

In the market for a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Dodge Durango? Well, if you fancy a more expressive color for your new SUV, you'd better get your order in, or plan on waiting until well into 2015.
The SUVs will be limited to just four monochromatic shades - black, white, silver and gray - until at least February, thanks to an upgrade to the paint shop at the two vehicles' Jefferson North factory. For the Grand Cherokee, that means it's losing more than half its color palette while the Durango is dropping two-thirds of its color catalog.
The loss of colors is inconvenient, but the upgrade will have a slightly bigger effect on the overall supply of SUVs, as Chrysler will need to end its relentless build pace at the factory for a three-week shutdown starting on December 22. The good news for fans of the SUVs is that once the work is completed, we should see a gradual expansion of the color palettes for both the Durango and Grand Cherokee, beyond even what's offered now.

Has Dodge stepped in it again with Scat Pack lawsuit?

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Lawsuits are an unfortunate part of doing business in just about any industry, so the latest complaint filed by a California-based aftermarket firm against Chrysler would seem to be nothing more than business as usual. But this isn't the first time the two companies have sparred over this particular issue.
According to a report from Automotive News, the dispute revolves around the Scat Pack name that Chrysler first offered on the Charger, Coronet, Dart and Super Bee starting in 1968. Scat Enterprises, a manufacturer of crankshafts and other components for Dodges and other vehicles, sued Chrysler for using its name. A few years later the Scat Pack disappeared from the Dodge catalog.
Fast forward to August 2013 when Chrysler applied to register the Scat Pack name anew. The US Patent and Trademark Office turned down Chrysler's application, but the automaker proceeded anyway, unveiling new Scat Packs for the Challenger, Charger and Dart at last year's SEMA show.

Trump tells Detroit 3 CEOs he wants more US jobs, calls environmentalists 'out of control'

Tue, Jan 24 2017

As expected, President Donald J. Trump met with top executives from FCA, Ford, and General Motors this morning as part of a larger push to generate jobs in America. "I want new plants to be built here for cars sold here!", Trump said in a tweet ahead of the meeting. Not everything said in the meeting was made public, but the President later tweeted that he had a "Great meeting with automobile industry leaders." FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne, Ford chief Mark Fields, and GM's Mary Barra all echoed the positive vibes after the meeting. In a statement, Barra called the discussion "very constructive and wide-ranging," adding that it focused on "policies that support a strong and competitive economy and auto industry," and "that supports the environment and safety." That's noteworthy, because Trump is reported to have said "I am to a large extent an environmentalist. I believe in it, but it's out of control." Fields, speaking to reporters after the meeting, said, "We're excited about working together with the president and his administration on tax policies, on regulation and on trade to really create a renaissance in American manufacturing." The Ford CEO was specifically talking about Trump's withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership. "We've repeatedly said that the mother of all trade barriers is currency manipulation, and TPP failed in meaningfully dealing with that, and we appreciate the president's courage to walk away from a bad trade deal," he said. Marchionne focused on American manufacturing in his statement after the meeting. "I appreciate the President's focus on making the US a great place to do business. We look forward to working with President Trump and members of Congress to strengthen American manufacturing." Perhaps equally as interesting as what was said and who was invited are what wasn't said and who wasn't invited. Trump has been very vocal about his distaste for US automakers' plants in Mexico, but no mention was made of the North American Free Trade Agreement by Trump or any of the Detroit CEOs after the meeting. We also have to wonder if Trump plans to meet with representatives from German, Japanese, and Korean automakers that have made massive investments into American plants and produce a large number of cars in this country.
