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.

Best and worst car brands of 2022 according to Consumer Reports

Thu, Feb 17 2022

It's that time again, Consumer Reports this morning lifting the curtain on its 2022 Annual Car Brand rankings and its 10 Top Picks in the car, crossover, and truck category. Drumroll, please: This year, Subaru climbs two spots to claim the winner's circle, having come third the last two years. Last year, Mazda climbed three spots from 2020 to take the crown. This year, Mazda slipped to second, BMW taking the last spot on the podium, also a one-spot drop from 2021. Six automakers in the top 10 hailed from Japan, which is one more than last year, and five luxury makers occupied the top 10, which is two more than last year. And South Korean representation didn't crack the top this year, after Hyundai managed tenth last year. The seven makes after BMW are: Honda, Lexus, Audi, Porsche, Mini, Toyota, and Infiniti.  The magazine and testing concern says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CR’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." The domestics also took steps back among the 32 OEMs ranked on the 2022 card. Chrysler and Buick were the domestic carmakers who made last year's top 10 in eighth and ninth, respectively. This year, Buick dropped to eleventh, Chrysler to thirteenth. Dodge went from fourteenth to sixteenth. CR continues to ding Tesla's yoke steerer, the not-exactly-natural handhold responsible for the electric carmaker going from sixteenth last year to twenty-third this year.

Only in Japan: Dodge van one-make racing series is a thing

Wed, Jul 15 2015

Japan seems willing to embrace a level of automotive insanity that many other places lack. Whether it's 1,200-horsepower Nissan GT-Rs blasting through tight, tree-lined mountain roads or advertisements with dances for the Toyota Prius Plug-in, the country definitely has a unique way of expressing a love for autos. The D-Van Grand Prix might be one of our favorite examples yet of crazy Japanese car culture, because the annual, one-make race at the Ebisu Circuit is exclusively for heavily customized Dodge vans. Like many great things, this wonderfully crazy idea came from a little rule breaking. D-Van Grand Prix organizer Takuro Abe was at a track event for a motorcycle racing school, and vans were used to haul the bikes around. During lunch someone came up with the idea for a race. Ignoring that the big machines weren't actually allowed on the circuit, the drivers headed out. The popularity has just grown since then. These days, the racing vans absolutely aren't the stock machines from the event's inspiration. In addition to stripped interiors and track rubber that you might expect, the list of mods for them is a mile long. For every possible advantage, the racers fit them with things like Brembo brakes, cross-drilled rotors, heavy-duty transmissions, and much more. Seeing vans lumbering around the track is very weird at first, but the racers take the competition very seriously. These folks even employ all sorts of little tricks to coax the most from the machines. This is a fascinating motorsports story, but be sure to turn on the subtitles to understand the interviews with the competitors.

A look at the Dodge Demon's drag settings, modes, and go-fast tech

Thu, Mar 9 2017

In the same video that gave us a peek at the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon's performance stats, there's a serious dump of info on the tech and tools that will likely help this muscle coupe slaughter drag strips. Dodge has outlined a few of them for us and we're using the power of inference to figure out the rest. Here's what we've gathered. A lot of these hints come from the Demon's version of Performance Pages, the infotainment screens that show what SRT models are doing and let the driver change the powertrain and chassis setup. There are a lot of Demon-only features, including line lock, a quick cooldown mode for the supercharged engine, and data recording. And of course there are pages to show a digital time slip with acceleration and braking figures, a g-load plot, and lots of gauges to track temps and levels. The engine output is shown in the video on a special Dyno page. It tracks horsepower and torque over time on the upper graph, and engine rpm and shift points on the lower graph. And we think it's still hiding something. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Any good drag car has a line lock, allowing the driver to lock the front brakes and leave the rears free to do a nice tire-warming (or tire-shredding, depending on length) burnout. Ford has it on the Mustang, Chevy puts it on the ZL1, and now Dodge is adding it to the Demon. It should help get the giant Nitto tires up to temp for a drag run. And once the tires are warm, there's launch control, just like on the SRT Hellcat, with selectable rpm to dial things in for the conditions. The Demon also has a shift light in the cluster, and the driver can set a shift point individually for each gear. After each drag run, you can activate Quick Cooldown, which Dodge says uses the first production application of After-Run Chiller – it runs the cooling fan and intercooler coolant pump with the engine off until the coolant reaches its target temp. It's shown in one of the slides above. The checklist on the left side of that page suggests it requires a set of conditions be met to work: engine off, hood open, and sufficient battery level. This further reinforces our theory that the supercharger is going to make big boost, beyond the Hellcat's 11.6 psi. And while you're waiting for the supercharger to cool off for another run, you can review the performance data the car records.
