1971 Dodge Dart Swinger - $11,500

Up for sale is my 1971 Dodge Dart Swinger. This is a low mileage (approximately 35,000), NEVER rusty survivor with one repaint. It was originally a 318/904/7.25 car. I bought it 100% stock. This is now a very fast street/strip car with an original style appearance.

I have run mostly 12.00 index races with it. The car will cut a .4xx light on a .400 pro tree. I can redlight at will on a .500 pro tree. This car set the 12.00 ET record at US 41 in Morocco IL.

Car has a 5.9 Magnum disguised to look like an LA 360, 904 with transbrake, A body 8.75 rear end, Cal tracs and monoleafs. It has been converted to the larger bolt pattern wheels (5*4.5) and front disk brakes. It has new fuel lines, new brake lines, new gas tank, new exhaust, new vinyl top and on and on and on. All the best stuff. The parts cost more than the selling price!

This car has run a best time of 11.70 @ 113. Don't let that fool you though, this is not a pure race car, and it is a blast to drive. It is almost zero maintenance (hydraulic roller cam -not solid). It gets a ton of attention at that shows and the track.

If racing is your thing, there is a ton of performance left in this car. It is tuned for street strip and it is full wieght with the entire original interior.

This is not a cobbled together hack-work kids hot-rod car. This is a solid low mile original Mopar. The modifications are well thought out and expertly installed. Everything has been done to make the minimum impact on the car's originality. I have the original window sticker, and lots of other cool documentation. Two fender tags.

There are 75 more pics (4 pages worth) here:

I hope someone buys this car as I am tempted but already have a Dart in the garage; it is a great deal for a beautiful car that is selling for less than the drivetrain costs.

Very nicely done - good luck with the sale.
 
question? How do you set a 12.00 index record in drag racing. Car sounds like a great deal and not a bad price for what the car has done to it from what I have seen out there. Good luck.
 
Wow, that's a good deal, got too many in the coral already , or I would be all over that. Looks like an awesome bracket car.
 
question? How do you set a 12.00 index record in drag racing.

Whoever runs the closest to 12.00 in competition sets the record. Its not the same kind of thing as any of the ET records I have held running heads-up over the years, but its lasted longer! LOL

Scroll to the bottom of this page:

I ran a 12.0068 in competition a couple years ago, and its still there.

I built this car because I wanted to run that class. .400 Pro tree index is about the closest you're going to get to running heads-up without pouring money down a hole. It turned out pretty well.

Thanks all for the kind words about the car.

Seems like the guy is going to take her. It will be a sad day in this house...
