1970 Dodge Dart Swinger 2 DR. Ht. for sale. Second owner and is in great shape and has 56,200 miles on it. original red paint and vinyl roof in great shape. This is a rust free Colorado car. This is NOT a project car that needs a bunch of body work. It is an unmolested car. It has been garage keep fo 39 years of its life.
This car was not just stored in a garage is was garage kept and driven for short hops, moved in and out of the garage and started on a regular basis to keep things in good running order over the years before we bought it is used by us every week also. This car has used the lead fuel substitude from the time unleaded gas came out as not to mess up the valves. Drives handles and runs great.
Has the original 225 slant 6, engine has no oil leaks and burns no oil and automatic transmission, no leaks shifts perfect. Body has no dents or fillers and no rust. Goes up and down the mountains like a new car. Car steers straight when you let go of the steering wheel and also the brakes don't pull when you stop not holding the wheel. Standard steering, brakes, no a/c and crank windows. AM radio turns on and think speaker is shot.
I do believe the seat covers have been replaced, not sure. There is a small tear on the side panel of the front passenger side seat cover beside the door. The dash cover has a some cracks in it. Gas gage and horn button does not work. I HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUED YET. WE HAD A BRAND NEW WINDSHIELD AND GASKET INSTALLED TODAY BY SAFELITE ELITE AUTO GLASS COM. Replaced it as old one had a crack in it.
This was owned and driven by an older German couple and by the wife mostly. They maintained this call in a great maner. This car has always been adult driven and has never been smoked in or ever had any pets in it. No kids have been in this car as the previous owners had no kids and I am in my 60's
I have the original bill of sale, window sticker, hand book, 70 Dodge dealer curcular with pictures of all the 70 Dodge cars including the Dart of this cars color and a copy of the the original title which shows us the second owner. We have the Good Year tire take offs of this that are over 24 years old and the tread is still like new, sure they have some dry rot even though it does not show. These will go with the new owner if they want them if sold. They are 195 / 14" bia ply
Car has 5 brand new radial 205 / 14" tires by Firestone, and car steers and drives like a dream with them. I am not saying this car is perfect but is in excellent restorable shape and a absolutly great running Chariot for 40 years old.
People come up to us every where we go and talk to us about this car. It has been and eye turner and a thumps up form people we pass on the street. Had it at the Hot Times Kool car show in Arvada CO last August 30 2009 at the Avada center, lots of people inquired about the Swinger even though it was not for sale then. We plan on re-showing it this year if not sold at the August 29 2010 show and show it for sale.
I have all kinds of reciepts, records and emission slips showing the car did not travel far between yearly emissions., some times a few miles to maybe 100 or so. The lady broke her hip in the 80,s and her husband had his own car and took hers to the Drs. and Grocery store etc.
The reasons for selling is I have lost my use of a garage to keep it in and the Condo association we live under their rules, has come down on us for having too many cars. We have 6 between My lady, me and her son. Being I don't have shelter to put this old jewel in and do want the elements to ruin it.
I would not be afraid to drive this car out state on the interstate even 1000 miles. I am not sure how old the fan belt is or hoses etc.
We are asking $8,800 for this car and will consider all reasonable serious offers.
I tried to put pictures on here of the car in this ad, did not work. I can email them to you if you would car to see them. I did get them to post to members gallery though on this site at jumpinjoes70DartSwinger. You should be able to see them there.
Sorry about any typos and have a nice day, Joe
