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!!!

What's the deal with Chrysler demanding colleges crush their Vipers? [w/video]
Fri, 07 Mar 2014Students and teachers at a Washington community college are up in arms following an order from Chrysler that it must destroy the pre-production Dodge Viper that was donated to the school's automotive technology program ten years ago.
The Viper in question is said to be the fourth off the production line, based on its VIN, and has had its emissions controls disabled, allowing its ten-cylinder engine to produce 600 horsepower, according to a report from Yahoo! Autos. As one of the first Vipers ever produced, the school's AT instructors claim it could be worth $250,000 in a museum, while a local news report purports that Jay Leno once tried to purchase the car, but the sale was prevented by Chrysler.
As pointed out by our friends at Autobytel, though, there are a lot of things in this story that don't quite add up. Immediately noticeable from the news report embedded below - which shows the car at South Puget Sound Community College - is that the car in question is not a 1992 model. When the Viper went on sale in 1992, it was only available as an RT/10 with a (flimsy) soft top, like the red car shown above. But the car featured in the report from KING5 News (inset image) is clearly a hardtop Viper GTS, which didn't enter production until 1996. And even if, as reported by a local newspaper, the hardtop featured is a prototype, it doesn't explain the lack of another iconic feature of the first Vipers - their distinctive side pipes. This kind of pokes holes in the school's argument that this is the fourth Viper to ever roll down the line. At best, this appears to be a pre-production Viper GTS.
2015 Dodge Charger priced from $27,995, Hellcat from $63,995*
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Ladies and gentlemen, let's get the most salient bit of information out of the way right off the bat: $63,995*. That's the amount of money Dodge dealers will be asking for (at the very least, naturally) for a 2015 Charger Hellcat (*plus $995 for destination on all pricing figures). That rather reasonable sum will bring home its buyer a 6.2-liter Hemi V8 engine boasting a supercharger to post such gaudy figures as 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, leading to a top speed of 204 miles per hour to go along with an NHRA-certified quarter-mile time of 11.0 seconds.
With that out of the way, the rest of the 2015 Dodge Charger pricing information breaks down as follows: $27,995 will deliver a sedan with a 292-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Moving up one step of the ladder nets the buyer an SXT model with the same engine, but a nicer chunk of technology and optional equipment for a $2,000 premium. All-wheel drive adds another $3,000. Hemi V8-powered R/T models now boast an eight-speed transmission bolted to the same well-loved 370-horsepower engine as before, for a base price of $32,995.
The SRT 392 model that had hitherto been the top-performing Charger brings with it an asking price of $47,385 while bargain hunters can equip a Charger R/T Scat Pack machine with that same 485-horsepower 6.4-liter Hemi, albeit with somewhat less posh interior bits and pieces, the removal of the 392's adjustable suspension and hi-po wheel and tire package for $39,995.
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
