Geo's 1969 Swinger 340 thread

So, in 1987 the AF sent me to Sembach AB, Germany. There I met this young kid from New York - he was an annoying Mopar guy - and a Giants fan to boot. We got along pretty damn well aside from that. We stayed in touch over the years and ended up both retiring after 20+ years in, and after all our moves, we ended up living less than 8 miles from each other here in New Mexico.

Bob got stationed at Kirtland AFB here in Albuquerque long before I did. Naturally, he put out his Mopar feelers and eventually was tipped off about the 69 Dart sitting in a driveway. Bob is a friendly guy and it was easy for him to go to the car and introduce himself to the family. They weren't interested in selling the car though.

Bob married his wife, who is from here, so he was able to visit often, and keep tabs on the car. His persistence paid off on 2011 when Sue called him and told Bob they were ready to sell. Pretty sure he got the car that very day.
