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.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.

2019 Dodge Challenger, Charger get retro Sublime paint options

Thu, Jan 31 2019

Editor's note: An FCA spokesman wrote to clarify that Sublime will be available on all 2019 Challenger and Charger models, including Hellcats. The story has been updated accordingly. Dodge's SRT performance division wants those of us who live in the nation's midsection to look past the current subarctic temps that are causing everything from "frost quakes" in Chicago to temporary shutdowns at auto plants in Michigan and envision the upcoming muscle car season with its balmier cruising weather. To help with that vision, SRT announced it's bringing back the heritage-inspired Sublime color and making it available for the first time on all 2019 Dodge Charger and Challenger models to help your metal pop. The lime-green Sublime color debuted way back during the 1970 model year on most Dodge vehicles, and it returned in 2007 for a limited number of Charger R/T Daytona models, then again across the Challenger lineup for 2015. It even made an appearance in 2017 on the limited-edition Ram 1500 Sublime Sport pickup truck. Sublime will be available for all models, including the 2019 Charger Scat Pack, with its 392 Hemi V8, the 707-horsepower Charger SRT Hellcat and the 797-hp Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye. The color also makes its return to the Challenger T/A for the first time since 1970. It joins an extensive palette of color options for both models that include Go Mango orange, Plum Crazy purple and B5 Blue Orders start in February. The brand will have examples of both models on display next month at the Chicago Auto Show. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Ford Police Interceptors dominate Michigan State Police testing

Tue, Nov 1 2016

Once again, Ford Motor Company builds the fastest police vehicles. The Blue Oval touted the news in an official release following Michigan State Police and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department testing. Ford did very well. Except for one acceleration metric – zero to 10 miles per hour Â– the Blue Oval's Taurus and Explorer-based cop cars were the quickest, with particular praise coming for the EcoBoost-powered models, which bested Chevrolet and Dodge's V8-powered variants. Dearborn's products also posted the fastest average times around MSP's vehicle dynamics course. But it wasn't all positive for Ford. The only four-cylinder in the contest, the 2.0-liter, EcoBoost Ford SSP Sedan, had both the lowest top speed, 120 mph, and the slowest acceleration figures. It was also the slowest in track testing. Ford's products also failed to match the braking and top speeds of its rivals from Detroit and Auburn Hills Â– the rear-drive Charger Pursuit posted the best braking stats of the entire test, while the V8-powered Chevrolet Caprice hit the highest top speed, at 155 mph. Ford did score a top speed award, among SUVs, but at 132 mph, the naturally aspirated Police Interceptor Utility had to share its award with the equally fast, rear-drive Chevrolet Tahoe. The LA County Sheriff's timing isn't publicly available, but according to Ford, the EcoBoost-powered police cars put on a similarly impressive show for cops on the West Coast. We've assembled a spreadsheet on Google Docs that offers an easy to browse comparison of the different stats assembled by the Michigan State Police, and divided the vehicles between standard V6-powered sedans, high-performance sedans (EcoBoost and V8 models), and SUVs. You can check it out here. Related Video:
