HI everybody. My name is Brandon. My brother in-law (pyschomoto) turned me onto the site. Said I had to get pics up on here, so I'm gonna try. Picked up my first a-body today. It's a 1973 Dart Swinger. Has a 360 with a 904 and an 8 3/4 with 3:91's in it.

It gets up pretty good 66. Drove it about 10 miles home and I was having fun. Psychomoto and I well go over it this week and button some things up. Sat in a building for 3 or 4 years and hasn't been drove. So once everything is safe will get some serious mileage on it.
 
Hell yeah! That thing is tough! I bet it's a blast with a 360 and 3.91 gears!

I'd lose those headlight covers though...
 
Yea it is a blast. Took it down the road on test drive and turned around in some random driveway, barely got into gas and barked tires pretty good. Looked and saw guy come from side of house like wtf, He seen the car and just smiled and waved lol.
 
One Thing,

Don't 'F' it up by putting on a Hood Scoop or Rear Deck Wing.

Sleepers sleep better, when left alone.
 
Welcome to the game!
And I agree with 69 Cuda above.
No wing, No scoop.
Sleepers are the $hit.
God loves a sleeper:cheers:

It has 225/70 R15 on front and rear as of now. Passenger side rear tire rubs a tad when gets a load in turning. It's gonna be a couple weeks till I can get it up in garage see what's really going on. Rear end needs slide over some because drivers side has plenty of clearance. So I'll baby it thru turns while we run done the little things that go wrong with a car that's sat for 4 years or so when you start driving it.
