Arizona Swinger
Well I finally have my 70 Dart Swinger 340 back in Arizona after six weeks of trying to arrange shipping from back East! This car originally came from this part of the country, so very little rust, but spent this past winter in chilly Wisconsin. My plans were to originally restore it back to original, but with F4 and F8 green outer panels, and a two tone green interior, maybe just a little too much green for my tastes. Plan as of now is to paint the exterior 2010 Dodge 'detonator yellow', and since it has the two tone trim, i.e.vinyl top trim, a black vinyl top. Add a black tail stripe, 'go-wing', maybe a black out hood, and a black interior. Add a six pack set up to the 340 engine, keep the 727 transmission, and maybe a 3.55 rear gear. Of course, ALL of this is subject to change! I'll download some pics of the car as I received it, along with some more showing what rust will have to be dealt with, as well as pics of a stripped down body, which was shipped off to the stripper this morning. I hope you enjoy the journey, as I hope to have this car ready for fall cruising! (Famous last words!) Ben.
