My 72 Dart Seems to be missing emblems . On mine the "dart" is under the rear windows . The "swinger" emblem is on the front fenders but there's two additinal holes right next to it .when I got the car there were no emblems there . And no hint of what should be there .Anyone got any Idea ? Don't think I've seen any other configuration of emblems . My Only thought is "swinger special " but I dont think I've ever seen a "special "badge .
If that's it maybe the P.O. removed them cause He got tired of the special jokes . Maybe his name was Ed.LOL

71 dart swinger (special) 198 slant six, three on the tree.

Nothng really special about it other than it has factory front seat shoulder straps, no a/c, bench front seat, pretty much bone stock.
 
I don't think you could get a Swinger Special. One or the other but not both I think.

all of the 75 '71 swinger 340s were badged as swinger specials.
"The 1971 Dart Swinger 340 is quite similar to the 1970 model (pictured in the background). The most noticeable differences are: the blacked-out '71 front grille and quad '71 tail lights. The '71 rallye wheels had dark argent centers. Some of the emblems are located in different places. The "Swinger" emblem is located on the front fenders, instead of the rear quarters like the 1970 Swingers, and has a "Special" emblem under it. The "DART" emblem remains on the rear quarters like in 1970."

Thanks for the reply's everyone. Hey cudaspaz maybe seeing your Dart before was where I got the idea theat it might be a special .Interesting on your 71 the special badges are in front of the swinger emblem.On My 72 they would be rearward of the swinger emblem.Definetly not a double badge of the dart as I tried those emblems and they have a different spacing of the mounting prongs . They will not fit as they are spaced too far apart . I'll check out that site later for more info. Thanks again guys.
 

Dad's '72 Swinger (bought new) had a badge that said "Special" in that location. I remember it well since I usually managed to bark my knuckles on it when I washed the car.
