Bought this 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 4 speed October 15, 2022. The guy I had been trying to purchase the car from for the last few years had bought the car in an estate sale in 1986 and never registered the car. The car hasn't been on the road for 36 years. The car sat outside since he purchased it. The car sat under trees which hurt it but sat in a black top parking lot and is a factory undercoat car which helped it. I gutted the interior upon getting it home as the front bench wasn't correct and the carpets were damp and the trunk was holding water. I removed a body plug from the trunk and drained about 3 gallons of water. I hooked a battery up to the car and it did bump over so I know the motor isn't stuck. The car is complete minus the original carburetor, original intake, original rallye wheels, and original front bench seat. I did find the original thumb roller AM radio in the trunk but unsure if it will work as it was so wet in the trunk. The hood, deck lid, front fenders and quarters will need to be replaced but on a positive note the roof, doors, rockers, floors and trunk pan are all solid. I am excited to to get the car back on the road as this is my first A body. I have had multiple b bodies over the years and have been chasing a 1969 Barracuda fastback 340 4 speed for years which I have never been able to get them to sell when I found this car a couple years back which was difficult to get him to part with as well. I still am in contact with the owners of the Barracuda and hope to one day add it to my garage. If anyone has the parts I am in need of for this Dart please reach out to me. Thank you for any help and thank you for welcoming me to your group.
