1972 Dodge Dart Swinger 318

[swest]

Well here it is, almost made it to the restoration forum but with 1 teenager, 1 pre teen and a 2 year old baby its getting extreamly hard to get more then 2 hours straight in garage. So i decided to sell my Dart and fund a fully finished car for myself since i have no time anymore.

Car was shipped from the south US in 2008 the PO had it painted F8 green but original color is F3.

Car was a daily driver until fall 2010 when i decided to start the project.

Start off with the need to know, it has been stripped down to be painted and the usuall fixes such has bottom corner windows and small front passenger window channel corner.

I started the mini tub but did not finish putting back the tubs. see pics. The inboard leafs have been done and are all 2k primed.

Car is original High Level 7 1/4 318 904 auto, factory air, power brakes and front disc, power steering.
90 000miles original motor with stock steelies and dog dish. All numbers maching.

Also started refilling the roof seam with new filler but couldnt finish so sprayed it with some lacquer until i could.

Under carriage is 100 percent rust free.

Was a previous vinyl top (green) but was taken off by previous owner, i have all the trim as well for it as it was left on the car. Car is 100 percent complete.

I can get the 7 1/4 back on as well to roll around.

Perfect build sheet found under seat.

I live in Ottawa Ontario Canada

Also available, 8 3/4 brand new, brand new ends, brand new brakes assemblies brand new drums 10x2 and 5x4.5 big bolt pattern axles complete drum to drum and shortened a perfect 2.25inchs by a professional both sides for 5.5 inch backinspace 15x10. I can include teh 8 3/4 for and extra 1000$ It was made for the car comes with a 3:23 suregrip in perfect shape.

Looking for 3400$ with 7 1/4 or 4400$ with the brand new 8 3/4.



Here are some pics, cheers. Steven

Looks good Steve, us Ontario boys dream of something this solid. Are both 1/4's off the car? 8 3/4 included?

 

[swest]

No 1/4's have been cut off the car, maybe i dont understad the question though both inner tubs are cut to do the mini tub. Yes very hard to find up here why I bought this one but no time.

No the 8 3/4 is brand new,brand new ends, brand new brakes assemblies and 5x4.5 axles complete drum to drum and shortened a perfect 2.25ichs both sides for 5.5 inch backinspace 15x10.I am going to sell that one seperatly. for and extra 1000$ i will include it as it has been fitted to the car. comes with a 3:23 suregrip cone in great shape.

Hi Steve, sorry about the 1/4's, to me it looks like in your 1st post, pics 7 and 8 that the 1/4's have been taken off?? Hmmm I havent done my taxes yet.....

 

[swest]

No problem, the quarters are in great shape, only thing cut was the tubs in a fashion that is very easy to weld in stock looking mini tub, like on bigblockdart tech pages. Taxes hey!! lol its always shopping time around tax season, let me know and your not to far at all.

 

[swest]

I including the 8 3/4 for an extra 1000$ (4400$) only if car is purchased. I will not sell at 1000$ alone. cheers! Perfect fit to the inboard leaf mod.

Congrats Steve, hope it went to a good home. FAbo member??

 

[swest]

I think it did, I put it all back together this weekend and got it running and fully drivable for him. He is a body man, not that it needs any work but definatly a good home. We are going to have another hot mopar on the streets in Canada for sure.

 

[dusterny]

Sorry you had to let such a nice car go but gone to a good home got to make you feel a little better.

Im sorry as well but the extra little child (Number 3) takes all my time... So im in the hunt for a fully rebuilt one now so I dont spend days in the garage . I have a few in my area, but im not in a rush.
