Nobody is asking about selling.Nah, c'mon stop that silliness. No paint, no rust, 48 years old ? One of none worth a Bazillion dollars.
Thank youStrangest thing I've ever seen in my life man that thing should be on a 1970 AAR Cuda...WTF....
it's a joke KarenNobody is asking about selling.
Nor is anyone saying anything about rust.
Car was completely done.
Utter bullshit reply!!
If you don’t have anything constructive to say STFU!!
I hear tell and have been edgumucated in another thread ( more like kicked, punched and choked then ganged up on and kicked out of the thread) that 318s are just as good if not better and can outperform 340-360 any day of the week and for next to nothing money wise too...In the current societal climate your car can identify as ANYTHING it wants to be...
Thank you
I never seen this fender tag before.
Though the VIV matches the car.
Car was signed by Richard Petty.
This was a race car before I owned it.
The engine was built by Pit Bull Motors.
Someone said it could have been added.
I don’t know.
Thanks
Yep it was added.
If someone was parting an AAR or a T/A........ have you checked the block in the car to see if it a 1970 T/A block?
The 1970 Trans Am tag has been added to this 1973 A-body during the past 48 years.
Somewhere between initial dealer purchase, transformation into a race car, and current restoration.
Richard Petty had no involvement in the 1970 Trans Am cars. Racing or Street versions.
Back to the actual car…
That is a very cool Mopar: 73 Dart Sport 340 4 speed, TX9 black, hood scoop, hood blackout, fold down rear seat… That car stands on its own. Doesn’t need a Trans Am tag or Petty’s signature.
Let’s see more of the car!

318 were used in police cars in late 70’s and 80’s. 360 was used in Highway cars. Sorry to say these engines had zero pickup. The 225 slant six had more power than the 318’s. I drove the 440 and 400 MOPARS. These engines had great power. You could keep up in a pursuit. Not so with the 318.I hear tell and have been edgumucated in another thread ( more like kicked, punched and choked then ganged up on and kicked out of the thread) that 318s are just as good if not better and can outperform 340-360 any day of the week and for next to nothing money wise too...
Ya know it's strange you mention the slant. Ford, is similar. I worked in a shop, drove a early 90s F150. It was a dog, I pulled it in the shop, thought to myself " this thing has to be a crappy running straight 6" it was a 5.0 (302). At another point in time, I worked on a F150 with a manual trans. Thing ran great, pulled in in, opened the hood, it was a Ford straight 6. These were square bodied 90s pickups. To this day I'd take a 92-96 F150 with a straight 6 and manual trans.318 were used in police cars in late 70’s and 80’s. 360 was used in Highway cars. Sorry to say these engines had zero pickup.

We had 6 cylinder police cars in NYC. They were Valarie’s. Lol.Ya know it's strange you mention the slant. Ford, is similar. I worked in a shop, drove a early 90s F150.

I bought it last year. Has documented 48k on the clock.
looks like you’re doing some work to it. How long have you owned it?
Short shifter often with short throw Hurst Super Shifters and other race shifter setups. Nice.
Was the AAR sticker from a previous owner? Looks like a Trans Am fan.
Hood blackout, black scoop, black stripe and black paint….
