67s are a love em or hate em car. My favourite is a 69 (I own 3 now including an M-code 440 GTS), I’ve owned several 68 original big block cars, but the 67 just doesn’t work for me.
Very true. Four or five small pictures for a $40k car screams “low effort” on trying to sell it which also supports the high asking price. Perhaps the wife wants him to sell it so he can now honestly say to her ‘yup, I’ve got it listed for sale now’.

I got this for 26k.
Numbers matching, 340 4 speed.
Buckets with new interior. The only thing that wasn't done is the dash, and its not too bad.
That was 3 years ago.

Not a fan... 70+ darts don't tickle my fancy... would rather buy one of the nice 340 demons for sale in Las Vegas and California that are priced 18-25k....
Why are 69s your favorite? Whats different about the 69 that makes you like it most?
I have a 69 340... 68 BB is my favorite... 68's have the awesome round fender turn signals...
Funny joke... What number do women like more than 69?... 88, because they get 8 twice....

I much prefer the grille on a 69, it sounds dumb to say this but it feels more modern. Especially the GTS grille with the more blacked out sections. Plus the side marker shape, I like it better than the little round light, and the marker location seems better.

Not a fan of '70s huh? I had a 69 340 swinger it was cool but let's see 70 sports dual hood scoops, factory hood pins ,blacked out Hood , rallydash ,150 mph speedometer Hurst four speed shifter, torque boxes, extra heavy duty leaf spring pack, 8 and 3/4 sure grip, proper day glow paint schemes first year available, gowing spoiler, scat pack stripe, front sway bar, front disc brakes, dual exhaust with chrome tips and more LOL 1970 340 swingers are badass!
I have had 70/71/72 340 swingers. I liked them the best, especially my 1970. Kim
I much prefer the 70 styling, I've owned a few of them, I don't mind the 67 to 69 styling, but the grille and taillight treatment on the 1970 just looks so much cleaner to me. Then there are all the things that K.O. Swinger mentioned too.
If it is restored I'd say go for it. But looking at it as a collector you'd be safe to increase value over time. But I usually see good condition 340 swingers in the $30,000 range not many over $35,000. It looks to be loaded as it can for an a-body, great color combo, hemi orange- black interior
The front end looks good, the sides look good, but they have this.... I can't get over this *** end with the tail lights in the bumpers.... I think its ugly compared to the 67-9.
Mmhmm... much better...

No pictures?? Does it run? Does it drive? Is it COMPLETELY restored? Plus, matching numbers means a LOT more than simply the engine and tranny.

That's a very nice car. At least half of this site would give their right arm for that car. You know "you" secretly wished you had it. Good luck with the sale !

I'm sure part of that "restyling" was to cheapen production costs. Think about how simplified (less parts count) that '70 rear end is compared to the '67-'69 design. The front grille is all plastic too, another way to make the car cheaper to produce. The '70s-up don't look "ugly" to me, just simplified, and not quite as interesting as the earlier cars.
Beautiful car. I may have asked you this before but is it Citron Yella?

By 69 the dart body style had basically been the same for 3 years and somewhat dated. Though I'm sure some changes were made to reduce costs It was also a Time when parts could be taken to the next level through molding that would cost a fortune to try to if you even could reproduce with metal parts my 70 grill is original it has held up extremely well it's amazing so questioning its integrity is somewhat moot. It is much more detailed and complex than any other dart grill before it in my opinion. Also the tail lights in the bumper was the trend that Mopar had moved to just look at the super Bee for 70 roadrunner for 71 and some as mentioned do not care for the tail light in the bumper look ok but the trunk deck how it marries to the bumper looks really good compared to previous years.

"questioning its integrity"? I did nothing of the kind. Plastic grilles and other body parts are cheaper to manufacture. That does not mean there is anything wrong with them.

I did not mean anyone in this thread and trust me I love metal parts most of the time. Just stating how plastic was starting to play a much bigger role in the automotive industry in 1970
I’ve had 67/68 darts. I still likes the 70 the best. Kim
Sorry, ugly was a bad descriptive term to use. I like the 70+ car, everything except for the tail lights in the bumper.
It's kind of like a Filet vs a flat steak... or a beautiful woman with A cups vs DD's... lol

Don't get me wrong I've seen drop dead gorgeous 1969's and if the truth be told if I ever get another dart it'll be a big block 68 I just think the 70 can hold its own as an all-around hot rod package
