SELLER REMARKS

This 1973 Dodge Dart Swinger was Chrysler's way of building a performance car without raising any eyebrows: a V8 in a compact, lightweight package. Today, these cars might be considered ideal sleepers, as their unassuming looks and reputation as low-performance grocery getters allow people to forget that they use their ideal power-to-weight ratio quite effectively in street combat.


OK so it's not a Hemi-powered Road Runner, but it would be a mistake to underestimate this snarling little Dart. Nicely finished with good, straight bodywork and a better-than-average code Y-2 Yellow paint job, this is definitely a car you'd think twice about before the light turns green. The combination of the bright bodywork and painted black top, along with a set of Cragar mags give it a performance look that transcends the humble Dart body style. Fit and finish are impressive for such an affordable car, and it's nice to see that they didn't feel the need to spruce it up with fake hood scoops and extraneous stripes. Instead, there's a simple black rub strip along its flanks, which emphasizes the super-straight bodywork, and all the original badges remain. Chrome bumpers look heavy-duty enough to fit on the front of a locomotive and they shine up quite nicely.


Inside, it's a standard black bench seat interior, but that's exactly what you want from your low-profile street fighter. The seats are so nice, I have to believe they have been recovered and they're firm enough that there's got to be new foam underneath. Black carpets on the floor match the headliner overhead, and the door panels are nice enough to show. Looking at the dash, you've undoubtedly already noticed the A/C vents underneath, which was a dealer-installed option that still retains all the original components. Gauges are simple, aftermarket gauges were installed underneath the dash, which keeps them out of sight when you're out prowling the streets. There's also a powerful AM/FM/CD/iPod stereo system in the center of the dash feeding a pair of 6x9 speakers mounted on the rear package shelf. The trunk is also fully carpeted, adding a luxurious touch.


The code G in the fifth spot of the VIN means his car did, indeed, come from the factory with a 318, so even back then it was probably a ton of fun. Rebuilt about 800 miles ago, it's a superb runner and a few performance tricks mean it's quite a bit stronger than it was 40 years ago. The engine bay is clean and functional, but not necessarily detailed for show; after all, who wants to worry about getting their engine dirty when they're prowling the streets looking for a fight? The standard cast iron exhaust manifolds dump into a true dual exhaust system that gives this little Swinger a big of a growl and the 3-speed automatic shifts like it should. The rest of the chassis is 100% stock but remains in good order thanks to living down south. Finally, those Cragar wheels I mentioned earlier carry 215/70/14 BFGoodrich T/A radials that fill the fenders perfectly.


Call it a sleeper, or the last of the breed, or even just a nicely refinished cruiser that you can use any time, and this Dart starts to look like a lot of fun. With a rumbling V8 soundtrack, effective A/C, and reliable hardware, this car has already earned its street cred. If you think it would look good in your garage, give us a call today!
