Budget Build 70 Swinger

I found one of those in the trunk of my '70 Dart Swinger, I would like to know what it is as well.


  • Purple: Beautiful with a white top and stripe
  • Red: Too common, and mom seems to believe red cars attract cops... I believe my Dart at 115 m.p.h. attracts cops too:snakeman: (and yes, that's a true story, minus the cops)
  • Burn't Orange: Another nice color when combined with white contrasts
  • The Green: Appears to be snakeskin green from the Vipers, but I don't really know
  • Go Mango: Isn't that more appropriate on a B-body or E-body? (just my $.002)
  • Black: Excellent either as straight black or with said white contrasts. But be warned, black shows scratches way too well.
  • The Gray: Now that would be nice with a black vinyl top, stripe and hood treatment.
  • The stock FF4 Light Metallic Green: An excellent color, at first I HATED it and planned on painting the car plum crazy so I could name it "Purple Haze." But, alas, it grew on me:love7:... I now plan on repainting it FF4 green.

Very good insight...Isn't your car FY4 light gold poly like mine though? Or are you saying that you are going to paint yours FF4 light green poly? my original FY4 paint has really grown on me too! I keep thinking I should just repaint the original color, keep the black vinyl top, add a black bumblebee stripe, hood scoops, and blackout hood treatment and I'd be set!

Found this Dart on Ebay...This is such a gorgeous color when repainted!
