1970 Dodge Dart Swinger Hardtop 2-door 5.9 No Reserve on 2040-cars
Oswego, Illinois, United States
|
Bid to win this beautiful 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger 340
tribute, originally a 318 car which was disassembled back in the early eighties
to be restored. The car changed hands three times without ever getting the
attention it deserved.. I bought the car about two years ago in primer (new
rear quarters installed) as a shell along with a truck load of parts in boxes.
I believe the car would have ended up as scrap as this owner was also
overwhelmed and was the next in line to give up on the project. I have four
other cars in various stages of restoration, however I couldn’t let this one
just disappear. So I spent the better part of the last two years painstakingly sorting,
cleaning and reconditioning parts and reassembling this gorgeous piece of
history. It now wears a beautiful brilliant orange paint job which
looks amazing from close up. I would consider the paint an 8 out of 10? It
looks far better than a driver quality, but is not completely flawless. The
bumpers have been painted to match. It stands out as one of the nicer cars at
most cruise night events. Under the hood sits a completely rebuilt late 70’s 360 with
a 340 intake and a, brand new Holley 650, mild cam and headers. Still has its
original low mile 904 transmission which was freshened (new converter) up along
with the 8 3/4 factory original rear end. All suspension parts were replaced as were all brake parts.
(4 wheel drum) The interior is original to the car as well, however the
seats dyed black and the door panels and headliner were replaced. All looks
very presentable. Factory rally wheels with newer Kelly Brand radials. The car is 98% finished but needs about $300.00-$500.00
worth of small items to be 100% complete Heater box not in the car (delete plate) I have some of
those pieces would take very little to install it. Wiper switch, glove box latch and few interior trim piece
missing (all still available) Like I said, would take very little to finish or drive it
and enjoy the way it is. I need the garage space for other projects I’m
involved in, so this one must go! The car starts and runs perfectly and can be driven
anywhere. I have about $15000.00 invested not including my time.. Clean clear Illinois title in my name. I COMPLETELY recommend a personal inspection!!!! I don’t
want and disappointments. NO RESERVE!!!!!! JUST LISTED LOCALLY, I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY I may consider 68-72 Mopar, 67-70 Camaro project trades... Call with questions 630-999-3114 Mike |

Ralph Gilles responds to Dodge rumors, says brand is 'here to stay'
Fri, 12 Jul 2013This is why we love Ralph Gilles. While in Italy hanging out with a group of Viper Club members in Europe, the SRT boss took the time to respond to a question directed at him on Instagram in regards to the future of Dodge.
Recent reports have painted a bleak picture for Dodge, but Gilles defended Chrysler's full-line brand by stating that the rumors are, "all rumors, Dodge is here to stay! It may get more focused going forward but not killed!" The idea of a "more focused" Dodge brand could lend some credibility to reports that the Grand Caravan and Durango are on their way out, which would leave Dodge solely as a car, or car-based, automaker.
MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.
Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot boards meet to finalize merger
Tue, Dec 17 2019MILAN/PARIS — The boards of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Peugeot will meet separately on Tuesday to discuss finalizing an initial agreement for a $50 billion merger to create the world's number four carmaker, sources said. A source close to FCA said the two companies could announce the signing of a binding memorandum early on Wednesday, followed by a conference call to explain further details later in the day. The two mid-sized carmakers announced plans six weeks ago for a tie-up to help them deal with big challenges in the industry, including a global demand downturn and the need to develop costly cleaner cars to meet looming anti-pollution rules. Ahead of the meetings, entities representing the Peugeot family, Etablissements Peugeot Freres (EPF) and FFP, unanimously approved a proposed memorandum of understanding for the planned merger, a source familiar with the situation said. FCA and PSA have said they would seek to finalize a deal by year-end to create a group with 8.7 million in annual vehicle sales. That would put it fourth globally behind Volkswagen, Toyota and the Renault-Nissan alliance. PSA's Carlos Tavares will be chief executive and FCA's John Elkann — the scion of Italy's Agnelli family, which controls FCA through their holding company Exor — chairman of the combined company. The group will include the Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Chrysler, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Peugeot, DS, Opel and Vauxhall brands, allowing it to serve mass and premium passenger car markets as well as those for trucks and light commercial vehicles.
