My 72 Dart Swinger is a 318 car and came from LA as a survivor daily driver in 2008
How I got it in November 2009

And how it sits now still to be finished.Will stay 318 and be my daily driver

And my next project 1960 Imperial 413.will make it a sonoramic crossram longhorn.

Thank you Jack, this means allot to me coming from a Canadian member :coffee2:
It's so user friendly and smooth a child could drive it, and it can get out of it's own way
11.26 1/8 mile ain't fast, but it's a dependable traveler even in 115 degree weather or -10.
So far so good Jack

First pic is minutes before I bought it 6+ years ago. Pure Gold Duster, all original down to the numbers matching Slant S#!t engine.
Second pic is a couple weeks ago at a car show, now with a real engine, 408ci making 415hp at the crank. Loud, fun fast what more can you ask for?

 

[68dodge]

Here is my 71 Scamp when it had the 318, now has the 440.

 

[74Dusted]

My '74 Duster, Before and After (well not after, now... I'm always modifying the car). Sorry about the low quality pic, i had a really really cheap camera when i bought the car.

2006 : Numbers Matching 318/904 car with 103,103 miles. As it looked the day i bought the car.

2011 : 340/727 car with 103,956 miles (started driving it in 2007)

--

Not an A-Body, but it was my first truck, still have it.

Before : (2003, ish? can't remember)

The original frame rusted through, snapped in half and the truck folded up like origami. I replaced the frame, converted it to 5-Speed (was a 904 Automatic), and ran the truck for several years before the original 2.6L Gas Engine died at 270,000 miles.

Frame broke in half again right after the engine died, garbage Box Frame, rots out in just a few years. Replaced it with a C-Channel Frame, dropped in a 2.5L Intercooled Turbo Diesel Engine & 5-Speed Manual Transmission, and made a few Small modifications to the truck.

As it sits right now, picture was from last month.
