Great looking car my friend! 69 340 Swingers are one of the best balanced Musclecars Mopar ever made. There are only 2 Mopars on my must have list, this is one of them. The other is a 67 R/T convertible. Congratulations!
Best year! Great color combo! good for you, Wayne. They are fun when you get one that can be played with while keeping them driveable
The closest street race I was ever in was against a 69 340 automatic Dart Swinger. It was against my 67 383 4-speed Satellite. I managed to edge him out on the big end by a little over half a car. My favorite of the 67-69 Darts is the 68's. And then there was this other A body, now gone. 383 4-speed.
Nothing like a big block, but they become just tire shredders in a A body if you don't get the suspension right.
Turn that 340 into a 416. You will be surprised at the power it will make. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face - especially in front of a 4-speed. It will walk all over your stock B's.....
Very cool glad you got one finally looks like a great solid car too have fun with it, I know you will too
Thought this was going to be about defecting away! Man, love the color but a white gut isn't my favorite. I'm usually too dirty to just hop in for a blast lol. Had two Darts in the 70's...a 67 /6 car with 3.91's and 3 on the tree with a straight pipe and some good tune up mods. It surprised more than a few stock small block Chevies! Bought a 69 for my girlfriend with a teen, AC, auto, PS. She loved it and it would do a good one wheel peel. Odd that they both were red and now I have two red pickups.....and I don't like red
Some time someday I want to do a 68-69 Dart GTS 383 4 speed (pref. later install a 5 speed) mini-tubbed/resto-mod nice wheels & tires, paint, interior, peppy engine etc. not to wild, just enough to peak my interests still I always thought they were a cool looking sort of mini RR/GTX-esk just no room, right now
