Hi everybody

I just registered in here a few minutes ago and I'm quite Happy having found a forum just for A bodies.

I'm living in a small country in Europe, called Switzerland, not sure if anybody knows this country :) and in October 17 I bought a 72 Dodge Dart Swinger on classiccars.com from a private seller. A few phone calls, some pics and i transferred 'a few bucks' to a person absolutely unknown for a car which i only saw on pics. Quite risky, haha...
4 months later, my Dart finally arrived and i was quite surprised about the cars quality. no rust, really well maintained.

the 318 small block got som love with a 'mild camshaft', headers, a 650 4 barrel carb and a exhaust system with which I'd immediately be arrested here :)
New paint, new Interior, new suspension, no rust at all.

Actually I'm just doing some changes which are needed to get a driving permission in my homecountry and some cosmetic stuff.

I'm sure I'll have some future questions and I thought It would be nice to introduce myself before :)

regards

Nice looking car and yes that transaction was risky. What kind of regulations do you have to comply with to drive your car on the street?

great looking car. Do you have a color code for that or any information on the paint
 
Sweet looking Dart!! Welcome to FABO! Glad you found us.
 
Nice looking car and yes that transaction was risky. What kind of regulations do you have to comply with to drive your car on the street?

the car has to be in original. my dart has a hotchkiss front suspension, the best you can get i guess. it's not permitted. front and rear sway bars, forbidden, every exhaust system which is not similar to the original one, forbidden, tinted windows in the front row, forbidden, different rims, forbidden...

well, you can get a permission for everything here, but then you have to pass an individual 'exam' with your car which will be considered as a unique model itself which will cost you loads of money....

I am dart.

great looking car. Do you have a color code for that or any information on the paint

The Color Code is B7, Midnight blue

Willkommen. Mein Demon 318 hatte original single exhaust. Hatte kein problem mit double exhaust. War beim TCS. Sie hatten keine Ahnung vom Auto. Typenschein X.
