71 Dart Swinger, 360, very good condition
Selling my pride a joy! Originally a slant 6 car it has a 360 LA and 727 now. Schumacher motor mounts for the swap. Car is a very well taken care of almost entirely rust-free California car. Spent time in the PNW (Portland/Vancouver) area for several years but was always garaged. Had it for 16 years and I no longer have space to work on it. Car is currently with me in San Diego, CA. Runs and drives great, starts right up, no leaks. Clean WA state title.
Car was painted in 2010. Originally green changed color to W1 white base coat/clear coat. Door jambs, engine bay, under the hood, under trunk lid were all painted. Very good color conversion. All new emblems/badges were purchased at the time of the paint job. All new window seals, wing window seals, front and rear windshield gasket, window felts, and wipers installed right after the paint job.
Most of the interior and exterior lights were upgraded to LED, not crappy LED lights, good ones endorsed by Daniel Stern Lighting. Car has trunk light, working dash lights, ignition light, ash tray light, glove box light, dome light, map light, all lights function properly. Headlights are stock.
Have the complete rear window defroster assembly. Wiring is in place as well as the switch under the dash. Gasket kit that is leftover from the engine rebuild. Fuel pump, HEI modules, coil, voltage regulator, oil filters, headlight switch, starter relay, new bench seat hinge covers, and more.
Small issues of note:
A little bit of paint chipped off on the rear valance and shows the green paint beneath. Also driver's side rear wheel has a little bit of bubbling below the paint. I have new spray cans of touch up paint and touch up clear coat that I will add with the car.
Asking $13k OBO. Willing to ship at your expense.
I will post more pictures today/tomorrow and later this week.
