1970 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 Number Match Original B5 Blue Restored Show Car!!! on 2040-cars

 

1970 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 (LM23H0R169xxx) factory 340c.i. numbers matching original engine.  The Dart has a heavy duty 727 auto trans, factory B5 Blue paint, original 8 3/4 rear with 3.23 posi, factory front disc brakes, factory front end sway bar, factory Rallye dash with tachometer, original thumbwheel AM radio, Rallye wheels with correct Goodyear polyglas E70-14 tires, 340 hood scoops, factory correct 340 chrome tips, stunning high gloss factory B-5 Blue base/clear paint and a factory 340 white trunk stripe (V8W). The correct bucket seats and floor console were added some time ago (was bench seat car factory).

This 340 Swinger is a very correct  car that has many of correct factory items including: factory original air cleaner,  radiator (2998978), intake (3462848), exhaust manifolds (2863553 & 2863549), leaf springs (3400081) and factory original torsion bars (2535893 & 892).  It is also believed to be original 67k mile car (as stated on title and info from previous owner).  The Dart has it’s original VIN tag, fender tag, and still has the original door VIN decal with a build date of 11-1969.  This is an absolutely beautiful car and one of the nicest bodied 1970 340 Darts that you will find that is very correct and has original engine and all original sheet metal.  There were only 5,004 automatic 1970 340 Dart Swingers built.  

The Dart has been restored about 8 years ago to it’s show condition and I just finished a light restoration on it to take it to the next level!  This car is awesome and you will be highly impressed!  The Dart will be an excellent car to be driven on nice days to shows and cruises.  A restoration of this caliber takes a lot of time, patience and money to be done correct.  Please understand this is not your average “driver” condition 340 Swinger!!!

 

I typically restore or finish around 10 Mopars a year and have been working on them for more than 25 years and I do everyone as they were my own to keep. I put a lot of time, effort, pride and money in the cars that I offer for sale which is evident when viewing one of my cars compared to others for sale.  This is one of the few cars you can view in person and say that it is actually nicer than the photos.     

 

Please call Chad at 412- 496- 1439 with any questions. Thanks!

 

 

Paint and body

The body is in excellent shape and the panels are very straight.  The doors close absolutely beautiful and can be pushed shut with the ease of your finger!  The super high-gloss deep clear coat shine was just professionally wet sanded with 1500 and 2000 grit paper to achieve a high caliber ultra finish.  This long process alone took over 40 hours and the finish shows it!  The Dart's sheet metal is believed to be original including the quarters, doors, fenders, hood, trunk lid, floor boards, trunk floor and trunk extensions, frame and even center of the trunk floor is excellent!  It was painted around 8 years ago and has no paint blisters or bubbles and looks fantastic.  There are two paint brushed marks both are under the rear door edges where the quarter and rocker seems meet (they are the size of a pencil eraser).  The bottom rocker panels are also in excellent shape, very clean, not full of bondo.  You can clearly see all of the factory spot weld on this car it is amazing!

GLASS, CHROME AND TRIM

The glass is in very good original condition.  All the glass is original Chrysler date coded glass.  There are only a few very small minor scratches.  The windows operate as should and line up excellent.  The wing vent window chrome is in beautiful original condition.  They open and close like new and there is no pitting in the chrome like most!  The bumpers are in excellent rechromed condition.  The door handles and driver side mirror are in nice condition.  The trim is very clean and was polished for optimum shine.    

INTERIOR

The interior was re-done with a package tray, carpet and seat covers.  The front seat covers (Legendary Auto) were put on several years ago and look excellent.  All gauges work and operate correctly.  Even the factory Tachometer works great!  All lighting works as should including the high/low beams, dome light, tail lights, parking lights, turn signals, four-way flashers, glove box light, cigarette lighter, and license plate light.  The factory AM thumbwheel radio works great.  The E-brake, defrosters, heater, fan and horn all work as should.     

 DRIVE TRAIN

The strong running numbers matching 340 makes excellent power and runs great.  The 340 is believed to be in it’s original condition.  The 340 sounds great and I would drive this car anywhere!  It is topped off with the original factory cast iron intake # 3462848 and Carter AVS (#4682s) (1969 383HP carb) 4-barrel with factory choke.  The numbers matching 340 has a casting date of 7-10-69 and the ID Badge has the VIN# stamped on it.  The block casting number is 2780930-340.  The factory numbers below the driver side head are FW 340 P30310098 making it a 1970 windsor plant motor built on Nov 14^th 1969 and was the 98^th motor made.  The rebuilt 727 transmission is shifts beautifully through all gears.  The 727 has a very mild shift kit and feels great anyway you want to drive it.  The 8 3/4 appears to also be original to the car and still has the original factory tags on it for the 3.23 posi center section and the use limited slip lube only tag.  This excellent drive train combo runs and drives awesome in all conditions whether highway or city driving.
