Whats the story with the emblems that say "special"? Never seen those before.....are those original to the car? Any close up pics of those "special" emblems?
The "Special" in Swinger Special does not imply a special run. The Swinger Special was the bottom of the line Dart in 1971. The production figures for the Swinger Specials for the U.S. and Canada are as follows:
198ci (LL23C1R) 2,757 U.S.

318ci (LL23G1R) 836 U.S.
340ci (LL23H1R) 75 Canada
198ci + 225ci + 318ci 1,557 Canada & Export
