First off thanks for all the help you guys have givin me. Whether it was reading throuhg thread or your responses to my posts.
I picked up a 1969 Dart Swinger 340 yesterday and I have not stopped grinnin since then. A little bummed to give up the 71 but so be it, it has found a great home right down the street.
The 69 was garaged most of it's life so it really solid. Found some minor rust but nothing serious at all. The guy that owned it passed away 3 years ago and the lady selling it was a little iffy on doing so. A few people looked at it and tore it apart trying to get the price down; so she would not sell. i did not tear it apart at all and she was actually happy that the car was going to me.
I paid 5,000 and it runs great. Only 500 miles on a rebuilt 340, so it should... I don't know what the rebuild consisted of though, so hopefully it continues to run good.
It was a 4 speed and will be again. The clutch pedal is fastened to the firewall. The interior is out of a 67 Barracuda. It was originally blue as the pics will show. It has a rather bad paint job but looks great from 20' or more...
So now I need to decide what direction to go and head that way. I am thinking about going back to blue and putting the interior to black and blue. I need some pics of what the cars interior may have looked like before it was changed if anyone has any?
