Thanks! Needs some work, but it has potential!

Up for sale is my 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger with 91,000 original miles. I'm the third owner having spent 6 great years with this car. It was voted Tahoma Senior High's coolest car of 2007, has helped me win 3 sportsman bracket racing track championships (2 at Renegade Raceway in Yakima, 1 this...

Pacific Raceways 2010 Sportsman track champion (4 event wins out of 9)....Free racing next year! Wooo!

Thought you were Brett Favre there for a second.

Not quite the advantage of the clean tree in theory since you could be waiting for a while if the other car is considerably slower...While the slow car always has the lights come down at the same time (no waiting). Having said that, the good racers know how to block those things out and cut a...

And the slower car always gets the clean tree, so it goes both ways.

So many variables to consider to answer this...Being able to cut a light and drive the stripe goes a long way, but the car needs to show some signs of consistency. 3 sportsman track championships in 3 years at two different tracks later, I'd like to think that I proved that a slow car with a...

After 3 years I've had pretty good luck with the Napa brand.

Done and done...I suffered w/seizures around that age myself. They lasted roughly a year until I grew out of them, and I believe that in time your Grandson will overcome them too. At the time my family and I had no idea what they were or what the cause may have been...Turns out that I more than...

Depends on how far you want to go...A 2-barrel super six is an easy and very worthwhile switch. I have a 390 cfm holley 4-barrel on mine and love it, but then again I bracket race my Dart a lot and the engine has had plenty of work done to it. A super six 2 barrel should be easy to acquire and...

I will agree that Clifford's prices are a little high, but I've been running their split headers, 4-BBL intake, shot peened rods, and double roller timing chain with great success (on and off the track) for 6 years....Over 900+ passes with most of that equipment. Having said that, upgrading to a...

The turnout really wasn't that good...Pacific Raceways did a crappy job promoting the event and the weather didn't cooperate very well. To be fair though, Pacific doesn't have a Chevy or Ford race either this season...Just the 12-race ET series, the divisional, the National event, and a bunch of...

I'm sure you have highway gears too...Should be faster than your posted quarter mile times...My 4-BBL Slant six goes 17:50s at 79 MPH with 2.76 highway gears (for comparison)...Adding a set of 3.23 or 3.55 gears would surely do wonders! Solid car btw!

Welcome from Ravensdale!!! Very nice project you have there...Best of luck!

Laysons...Just kidding ;) Summit/Jegs and Mancini racing are some good catalogs to have.

My thoughts exactly.

Go for it! That Demon would make a really cool car with a little work!

Looks like a great deal! Best of luck on the sale!

Great looking cars RPM! Edit: Got my answer ;)

Why limit yourself to just one? I'd go for Erin Andrews AND Scarlett Johansson...Even if you didn't like Iron Man 2, seeing Scarlett in that is worth it enough! ;) I'd settle getting my Dart restored, and running it in Stock Eliminator with the slant (V/SA), or a 340 (F/SA).

lol will that fit a slant six Andrew? ;) Edit: topfueldart and his brother are both very tough racers at Pacific Raceways...All-Mopar semifinal last Sunday. My '70 Dart, a '68 340 Dart, a '71 Challenger, and topfuelfueldart's brother's 340 '67 Dart!

Ummm no. It's a '70. Oh and I have that steering wheel in black...Huge boat wheel. I'm now even more self-conscious about it now ;)

Oh trust me, I know exactly what you are talking about...I've been planning the repainting of my Dart for 5 years now and have changed my mind literally hundreds of times. Right now I'm debating between the FY4 and EK5 burnt orange metallic. Of course my paint job is still a year or so away, so...

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...

Nice starting point! Keep us updated on progress! The rust isn't too bad, my driver's side quarter panel has more ;)

Why thanks! Pacific Raceways is my old stomping grounds and I have worked the past few summers in Enumclaw. Best of luck with the project!

Welcome from Central Washington!!!!

Light up the pre stage bulb, then inch your way in with a rapid brake-no brake-brake -no brake rhythm until you light the stage bulb (This is done so you are as shallow as possible, and therefore know where you are in the lights every time for consistency). When both racers have staged, plant...

'70 all the way Baby! Of course I'm a bit partial to the '70s, but still...Cleaner looking and more simple.

With my old/tired slant (1-BBL), the Dart ran 20s With the 2-BBL super six and headers it ran mid 18s. With the new engine (4-BBL, mild cam, forged pistons, shift kit, headers, etc) it runs low-mid 17s. Mind you these numbers are all with 2.76 gears and shifting at 5 grand. I add a 3.23...
