Just bought an all original 1969 Dodge Dart swinger 340

[3404speed]

dw340 2268 0345. 2268 is the 10000 day calendar date that shows when the engine was built. Day 2268 is Friday, October 13, 1967. looks like a 68 engine. Also, on the oil pan rail will be a machined pad with a partial vin, ex 8B123456 where 8 is the model year, B is the vehicle plant, and the 6 digit is the last of of the vin

nice 340 project. Looks like it wouldn't take much to make it readable.

Red body
White roof
White stripe
Brown/ Tan and possibly Black 2 tone interior?
Column shift/ bench seat

Weird combo in that one! Welcome! Start a build thread for it in the members restorations section!

Hauled the dart to a friend who got it up and running the next morning. So I ordered all the missing pulleys and what not to get back streetable. First hurdle was the motor and sounds good.

Clean it up some, make it safe and drive the **** out of it.

Exactly what I’m thinking. Perfect patina.
