New family member

[340 swinger]

Well I did it. I needed another car like I needed a hole in the head but her it is. 1970 Dart Swinger (yes another one), 408 Mopar performance engine, 4 speed, 8 3/4 sure grip. Along with the purchase came another 70 swinger parts car in complete form, a 340 engine, rear ends, etc, etc. Maybe I need another hobby.

Nono no no, no new hobby, just more money for a bigger garage.

I am fairly short in the legs and the seat is all the way forward. Shifting is not a problem, just wish the handle as a little longer. I would like to find a spin on pistol grip handle if they exist.

Nice looking car !

I think you can use a B body pistol grip for a bench seat car in an A Body.

Not really cheap but I think a good deal just the same. The previous owner is a real good friend of mine. I have been after the car for a long time and was always told that I had first crack at it. Well that day finally came a couple weeks ago when he called me and asked if I wanted it. I know how much $ he has in this car, the 408 was $ 10,000 alone. Centerforce clutch set up $ 2000, complete new interior $ 1700, new floor pans and trunk, $??, new body and paint 3 months ago $ 3800, new aluminum rad and electric fan set up $ 600, new TTI 2" fender well headers $ 1000, new 750 holley $ 600, etc, etc.
Anyways to make a long story short I got the car for $ 12,000. Some may say a deal, some may not but I thought it was a steal.

i think its always a better deal to buy a car that some one else has dumped all their money into.

Great score! Wish we had nice sheet metal like that up here. That would make an awesome sleeper. I'm jealous.
