1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 Hardtop 2-door 5.6l on 2040-cars
Fredericksburg, Virginia, United States
|
You are Bidding on a VERY RARE 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 that came out of the factory in 69 wrapped in paint code B-5 Blue with a Black Bumble Bee Stripe at the rear. This is the rarest of colors for the Dodge Dart as very few were factory painted this color. To add to the rarity of this car it came off the factory line with Factory Disc Brakes and Factory Posi-Rear! Also there were less Swinger 340’s produced in 69 than any other model of the Dart. This car is a very solid project car and has been stripped all the way down to the suspension and is ready to be restored. All of the disassembly work has been done so that will save you allot of time prepping it for restoration. All parts, nuts, bolts etc… that were removed have been bagged and tagged so that re-assembly will be a snap. This is a complete car with all bumpers, trim and interior. This car is a FACTORY DISC BRAKE CAR It still retains its numbers matching 727 torqueflite transmission and FACTORY INSTALLED POSI-REAR END. The original engine is long gone but a freshly built, never run 360 engine is included in the sale of this car. Also included are a rust free trunk lid, brand new still-in-the-box full rear quarter panels (both sides), two brand new still-in-the-box front fenders and the original rust free 340 hood with the chrome inserts. The floors are very decent and have had some patchwork done in the front drivers and passengers foot area. The trunk is all original and has no through rust, just surface rust. The rockers have been cut out due to rust and the rear quarters were cut at the mid point and some cheap aftermarket quarters were installed some time ago but were never finished. They are cheap aftermarket reproductions and don’t fit well so it was decided that the cheap knock offs would be removed and tossed and the brand new American made quarters would be installed. All undercarriage frame structures are in good shape. No major rust in any of those structures or in the inner fender wells up front or the rear wheel housings. The inner rockers are in need of replacement and have not yet been cut out. Unfortunately financial difficulties have brought this project to an end so it has to go. This would be a great Father/Son project car and would make a Fantastic driver or an Outstanding Show Car. It’s a rarity to see a Dodge Dart at a car show much less a Swinger 340 and with all of these factory installed features it will likely be the ONLY ONE. So if you want to be the envy of all of the Mopar Muscle Car Enthusiasts then don’t miss out on this very unique one of very few classic Dodge Darts, a car that due to its power to weight ratio has been synonymous with NHRA Racing ever since the mid 60’s. I am selling this car for a friend. Please feel free to ask a question through this auction ad and I will respond accordingly. BID WITH CONFIDENCE AND BID TO WIN!!!

2013 Dodge Charger AWD Sport
Tue, 29 Jan 2013We won't beat around the bush: The all-wheel-drive Dodge Charger is not a brand new car. This generation launched in 2011, AWD models and all. But for 2013, Chrysler has added an optional sport package to the AWD model, available with both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 or the sweet, sweet 5.7-liter Hemi V8. The upgrades for this new sport pack are mainly cosmetic; a gloss black grille, new 19-inch alloy wheels and body-colored rear spoiler make up the list of exterior changes. Inside, there are new sport seats and paddle shifters, and the eight-speed automatic transmission has been reflashed for better performance.
But because vehicles like the Dodge Charger mainly stick out in our minds as being rear-drive bruisers, Chrysler wanted to give us the opportunity to test out the LX platform's foul-weather prowess. And perhaps no place more appropriate to test such a system was way up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the dead of winter.
Driving Notes
Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board
Wed, Apr 3 2019Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.
Cars.com runs 11-second quarter with Dodge Charger Hellcat
Mon, Jun 1 2015The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat and its Challenger sibling are two of the heroes of the modern performance world. With a headline-grabbing 707 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, their output even shames many supercars. But how quick can one really cover a quarter mile? Cars.com recently decided to find out by taking a Charger Hellcat to the drag strip to see if the sedan lived up to Dodge's 11-second claims. The results were quite impressive. After 13 quarter-mile runs of adjusting variables like the tire pressures and the car's various electronic aids, the Charger Hellcat managed a pass in 11.03 seconds at 126.61 mph – the pinnacle result of the day. This car was mechanically stock and wore the optional Pirelli P Zero tires. According to Cars.com, other quick sprints reached 11.09 seconds and 11.1 seconds, which even beat the site's 11.41-second best from a Challenger Hellcat last year. Getting the Hellcat's prodigious power down without losing traction was a challenge, even on the summer tires. Cars.com thought it had a run that could have dropped below 11 seconds, but then the wheels spun. Using the factory-recommended pressures, the Charger Hellcat was no still slouch with an 11.27-second time recorded, but taking things down to 25 psi proved the quickest at the strip. We already knew that the Charger Hellcat was a wonderful vehicle for eating up huge gulps of asphalt at high speeds and could verify its 204-mile-per-hour top speed (quite a bit faster, incidentally, than the Ferrari California T's 196 mph top-speed). Apparently, the 11-second quarter-mile claim is just as accurate. Also, for any curious owners, the Cars.com story divulges many of the tweaks required to reach this seriously quick time.
