Is this DartGTDans ride?

I was perusing my latest edition of Hagerty Drivers Club magazine, when I saw a familiar A body. Is this you @DartGTDan?

I had a car just like that!; with a big hemi, a 4-speed overdrive, A/C and all the power stuff.
Not.
But every carshow has one or two of "those guys", who rememberchiit like that.
Mine was actually a Panther-Pink 70 Swinger340-4speed, bought used in fall of 1970, with 11,000 miles on it, for $2400C. I was 17 and in love.

We must be brothers! I bought my first 1970 Plum Crazy 340 Swinger 4 spd in 1972 with 30,000 miles on it. I think for $1800. Sold it 2 years later and always regretted that. So I bought my current (almost identical) one in 1987 and still have it. Carry on brother!

That looks like Dan's Dart. And that is a picture of Woodward Ave. So most likely it's him, at the Woodward Cruise.

Do you recall what happened to your pink 340 swinger? Not too many were made, especially 4-speeds.

It sure is! My 15 minutes of fame!

I sold it to a younger kid than myself in very early 1976. I never saw it again. It was very tired.
In fact, the day that the young lad showed up,
I barely got it started (I think it was February), and, it sat out in the cold, idling for hours. I was pretty sure the starter was toast, so I warned the boy not to stall it on his way home.
I was just 22, had no job/no money/no future; was living in my BIL's basement, and I sold it to pay backrent. There was no way I could afford a new starter.
I watched for it, for a few years, but nada. and I never saw another, not since the first day I bought it, in fall of 1970. Yes, I miss that ill-handling beast, even until today.
