1971 Dodge Dart Swinger

just my 2 cents......sounds like a pretty good deal to me @ $3K, especially if the 340 is salvagable. I pretty much started with the same thing, you can see my photos in members gallery. Although mine was pretty pristene to begin with, sounds like you got a good start at least for a strip car. I have a stock steel hood, all the seats, underdash heat and AC and I live in Central Illinois, if you do this and have any interest.
