Agree guys, great stories on these 340 Darts. I would love to won one and who knows, been a Chevy guy all my life but if i had the chance to buy a 68 Dart 340 4 speed i would get it. Light weight car with a 340 cube engine, fast car.

At the Pure Stock Drags, it takes a 360 horse Yenko Nova to beat the 340 Demons and Dusters.

1969 Swinger 340 curb weight: 3274 pounds.
That includes a full tank of gas and all fluids. The shipping weight which includes none of those is 3097 pounds https://www.automobile-catalog.com/m..._340/1969.html |

Love those Shark-tooth grill Dusters, as well as Demons. Yours looked great Ken.

The lowest rear Chrysler offered with the 340 was the 3.91. THAT was a killer combo. I liked the fact that Chrysler included a 4 speed with their 1968 and 1969 muscle cars.
Also included were the chrome exhaust tips. Nice that it had 10.5" drum brakes all around unlike the Chevys which had only 9.5" Last edited by Lee Stewart; 10-09-2020 at 08:07 PM. |

Delete the rear stripe and that's EXACTLY what mine looked like when I bought it in December of 70. It was ordered without the rear stripe. I traded those 4 hubcaps to a friend of mine for a 63 Chrysler Newport that I used for a winter beater.

I gave the only decent picture I had of my Dart to a friend who was the local Motorsports reporter for our local paper. He used it when he started doing a column about the local Cruising scene 'back in the day'.....I never got the picture back, but I have a scan of what appeared in the paper. He may have taken a bit of artistic license when describing my car My friends' 69 Super Bee is in the background.

The one I looked at in the showroom of the local Dodge dealer in Liberty, NY was identical to the photo I posted. Had three options: AM radio, vinyl top and wheel covers. It was going to be my first car which I would take to college with me. I chickened out due to having car payments with no immediate job. So I took most of my $1000 cash down payment money and bought a 1964 327/300HP Impala SS convertible with powerglide, PS and PB. Had some bucks left over to take to college as a nest egg. That was after I bought a reverb and 8 track player.
