For sale is a 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger 340, 4 speed
History: The Dart was born with a 340, 3 speed manual transmission on the floor, Hemi orange exterior and black interior. I purchased the Dart several years ago from my neighbor and he had owned it since 2004. My neighbor purchased it from the original owner and the Dart is a California car. The vin, door tag, fender tag and the hidden vin underneath the trunk lip all match. I also have the build sheet. There were 13,785 Dodge Dart swinger 340's built in 1970. Of those cars, 6582 were built with an automatic transmission and 5744 were built with a 4 speed manual on the floor. There were only 1,459 built with a three speed manual on the floor. So as far as 1970 Dart Swinger 340's go, the 3 speed is the rarest. Exterior: The Dart has no rust issues and the body is in pretty good shape but does have two dents. The dents are both on the left side rear quarter panel (see the last two photos). The original paint was badly faded and I really like the flat dark gray/black look, so I sprayed the Dart with dark gray primer. All the chrome is original and all the glass looks good, except for the front windshield which has a crack that runs from top to bottom. Interior: Since I have owned it, I put in new carpet, headliner, and a package tray. The rear seat and dash pad has some tears/rips and the front seat is not the original bench seat. The sun visors will need to be replaced. Engine: The 340 engine and the 4 speed transmission that are in the Dart right now came out of a 1969 cuda. The engine was rebuilt about 8 years ago with high quality parts. The engine and transmission do not leak anything and both run great. There is about 20,000 miles put on the rebuilt engine. The heads from the original engine are on the cuda engine and the heads have a U stamped on them. I have the original engine which goes with the Dart but I do not have the original 3 speed transmission. There is nothing wrong with the original engine. Wheels: The rims are Show wheel Streeters 17x7 with 225x45x17 Falken times. The rims and tires have about 3,000 miles on them. If you don't want the rims that are on it, I can put on black Mopar steel rims which have newer tires and Mopar dog dish hub caps. If you choose the steel wheels instead of the Show wheels, you can deduct $500 off the price. Everything works on the Dart as it should, except for oil pressure gauge. I put in a new oil pressure sending unit but it didn't fix the problem. I'm guessing that the gauge itself doesn't work. The Dart is currently registered and I drive it about once or twice a week. The furthest I have driven the Dart in one shot was about 120 miles. The Dart starts right up every time and it is a blast to drive. The Dart has always been garaged kept since I have owned it. I hate to sell the Dart but I have had my fun with it and it's time to let someone else enjoy it. The Dart would be an excellent restoration project or it could just be enjoyed as it sits. For any questions just send me a message. See the photo for the decoded fender tag. |

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials
Fri, Sep 11 2015Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:

eGarage interviews a couple with 65 Vipers
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Owning multiple vehicles can be a hassle worth enjoying if you're willing to spend the time and the money required to acquire and maintain them. But when it's hard to make ends meet while underused valuable hunks of metal, plastic and rubber sit happily taking up garage space, journeys into the depths of other people's well-developed automotive obsessions will either bring you and your cars closer together, or compel you to sell them off before you become one of those fanatics. A recent video by eGarage is one of those journeys, and it's not for the faint of heart: D'Ann and Wayne Rauh own 65 Dodge and SRT Vipers in a collection of automobiles that exceeds 100.
We're not sure if the couple has developed heat-resistant calves from stepping over Viper door sills made burning-hot by side-exhaust pipes, but we wouldn't be surprised if they did. We did learn that their obsession with the no-holds-barred sports car started in 2006 with a trip to a dealership to buy just one Viper, which goes to show how innocently car obsessions can start. But the Rauhs seem to be doing just fine - perhaps better - 64 more Vipers later.
Watch the video below for the full story and to see what eGarage claims is the world's largest Viper collection.
