Figured since I've been lurking a bit and asking questions I may as well post up some pictures and info of the car I ended up getting. This is as the previous owner had it, I just picked it up a couple weeks ago and have just been enjoying it.
It's my first piece of Mopar muscle, thought I'd get one and enjoy it before kids start coming around .
1969 Dodge Dart Swinger, 340 4-speed. 741 rear with 3.91 gears. Power brakes (disk front, drum rear), manual steering.
Originally was B5 blue exterior and blue interior. Repainted in the 90's to a color that's somewhere between B7 and B5 blue, definitely a little darker than original but just looks great in the sun. Interior was changed over to black.
Previous owners mods were headers, exhaust, cam (not sure of the specs, Mopar purple cam is all I know), Edelbrock intake & carb.
As it sits I just plan on enjoying it, tinkering with it here and there.
Hope to get lots of knowledge from the site (it's already been really helpful) and spend some wrench time on the car.
First items I want to deal with are getting the rims paint matched and tossing on a set of redline dog dishes. New seals & gasket on the rear end. Eventually will move inside and put a Retrosound deck into it with kick panel speakers, just for a little bit of sound (the AM radio just doesn't cut it). But, that will be in a while, since the sound of the 340 is just about as good as any music I could listen to anyways :glasses7:
Onto the pics:

First items I want to deal with are getting the rims paint matched and tossing on a set of redline dog dishes. New seals & gasket on the rear end. Eventually will move inside and put a Retrosound deck into it with kick panel speakers, just for a little bit of sound (the AM radio just doesn't cut it).
