The Dart Swinger makes the list!

I loved my old 70 Dart Swinger 318....

It had heater only, p/s, manual brakes, 8 3/4 axle with 2.76 open gears. However the original window sticker for the car did not show the 8 3/4 which I do not think was ever replaced (It still had the "flared" rear drums).

Fun to drive, reliable, until the frame rotted where the left leaf spring attached in the front...

I was going to "retire" the car that weekend, when on my way home from work, some stupid beyotch in a Ford Explorer tried to make a left turn from 2 lanes over (there was a semi in the turn around) and had my lane blocked and I tried to stop, but ended up sliding sideways into her. My passenger side took out her whole left side (she couldn't open her driver's door).

She tried to blame it on me. I patiently waited for her to tell the cop her story while sitting on my hood (I couldn't sit inside my car as the passenger side glass shattered all over the seat). Then when it was my turn, I walked the cop over to my skid marks showing him that they were in the left lane of traffic, and then the "dog leg" in the skid marks where I bounced off her and then went to the side. He said that she was lying to get out of the ticket, then wrote her a ticket.

Yes, my old 70 Dart Swinger, it went out with a bang....


In the top five worst cars.... Harumph.....
