Default My '69 340 Swinger

Bought this car when I was in college Feb/'72.A guy needed a fast $1500.00 to close on his house purchase. It's on my list of top 3 cars that "got away." On a positive note the seller and I have remained friends to this day!

Nice Dart. I could of purchased my neighbors 69 Dart Swinger Orange with a Black Stripe 4 speed 340, black interior in the middle 70's he had for sale. It was all stock. I am sure many of us have stories too the cars we passed up on.

I only kept it 8 months unfortunately. Put Goodyear RWL tires on it and American Racing slot wheels.And a Lear Jet 8 track player,lol.Got a case of "Corvette Fever",so sold the Swinger and bought a '64 vert with the 327/365 mill.Faster than the Dodge for sure!

Here's one I owned about 20 or so years ago....fun and fast, 383 with a 4 speed but drove like a truck. Got a lot of looks and thumbs up at car shows and cruise nights though.
