"Badass Swinger"
Bought a 1976 dodge dart last weekend. PO said it was a swinger but I have no idea. This is out first A body. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
My vin meansThe car isn't with me now but I will look at the fender tag when I get a chance. I looked up the vin. It just says 2 door hardtop high price class.
Ok thanks it's LH23. I knew it was a 2 door hardtop but had no idea what made it a swinger.In 76 a Dart custom would be a 4 door only.
Check your vin number ....if it starts with "LH23" then you have a swinger.
Yup, that is all that makes it a swinger...Ok thanks it's LH23. I knew it was a 2 door hardtop but had no idea what made it a swinger.
To be honest, I sort of hate the name swinger, now. Besides the obvious sexual connotation, I sort of wish it was more like "r/t" or "superbee" or " 'cuda " or "Scamp" or anything really...Yup, that is all that makes it a swinger...
Yes, professor. That would seem to be an accurate conclusion...I have a 72 to 74 Govier,Chrysler Corp Production Option Code Book, and I know it doesn't apply to 76, but this is what it says;
the LL can apply, among others,to; 69 to 74 Darts,69/70 Swingers,71 to 74 Dart Swinger Specials,
the LM can apply,among others,to; 69/70 Dart Swinger 340s, all Demon/DartSports with 340s or 360s
the LH can apply,among others,to; 69 to 74 Dart Custom,71 to 74 Dart Swingers
So I have to conclude that Darts and Swingers might come in any of LL,LM,LH, but that, NO 71 to 74 models fell into LM
Further, one might conclude that a 71 to 74 Dart, could be;
an LLDart or an LLSwingerSpecial, or an LHDartCustom, or an LHDartSwinger
As to 75/76 I cannot say.
