1970 Dart Custom
To be honest, I sort of hate the name swinger, now. Besides the obvious sexual connotation, I sort of wish it was more like "r/t" or "superbee" or " 'cuda " or "Scamp" or anything really...
I am sort of glad mine is a "Custom". My dad seems to think Customs are sort of low drawer, and they were the rest of the years, but in 1970 Custom was high end.
Mine had a/c and had lots of stupid chrome and such, with a vinyl top and swanky interior when it started its life...
But I am not going to restore any of that.
It is now a heavily modified and very "custom" Dart, and since I won't ever sell it, I suppose the only one I want to impress is me :)
So, I guess my car will will bear this badge with honor (which happens to be the only year that custom was not written out in cursive script) :)
