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...

Dodge Dart Registry helps you crowdsource money for your next ride [w/video]

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

To be honest, we're surprised something like this didn't pop up sooner. Chrysler is riffing on gift registries for couples getting married or expecting babies and cross-pollinating it with a social media funding website like Kickstarter to help customers buy its 2013 Dodge Dart. The Dodge Dart Registry allows people to build and customize a new Dart exactly how they want it, then let other people purchase some or all of the components as gifts.
The registry lets you add features like dark headlights, dual exhaust, various wheels and even interior options without choosing a specific trim level. This sounds a lot like the system Scion uses to let its customers configure cars, and this could be a great idea for Dodge. Of course, this system has the added benefit of being a social media affair for you to share with your friends... you know, so they can help pay for some of the parts, too.
The best thing about the registry is that you can configure your dream Dart from the comfort of your home computer, which strikes us as much better than walking around Bed, Bath and Beyond for the better part of an afternoon with an electronic scanner. The one thing that Dodge doesn't offer? "Thank You" cards. Those are on you.

Killing the Dart and 200 might lower FCA's fuel economy burden

Tue, Feb 9 2016

Killing the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 could allow FCA US to take advantage of an intriguing quirk in the next decade's fuel economy regulations. By increasing its ratio of trucks versus cars, the automaker might not need to worry so much about hitting the more stringent efficiency rules. At first thought, it might seem harder for an automaker with a ton of trucks to meet the government's mandated 54.5 mile per gallon corporate average fuel economy for 2025. However, every company doesn't need to hit that lofty figure, according to The Detroit Free Press. The exact target varies by the product mix between trucks and cars. "While passenger car and light truck categories have separate CAFE targets, it's still true that more trucks versus cars in a company lineup means a lower combined CAFE target," Brandon Schoettle, Project Manager Sustainable Worldwide Transportation at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, told Autoblog. "While passenger car and light truck categories have separate CAFE targets, it's still true that more trucks versus cars in a company lineup means a lower combined CAFE target." FCA US' current product blend has 80 percent pickups and CUVs, which means the company stands to benefit from a lower fuel economy target. It might not seem entirely fair environmentally, but this is a great move from a business perspective. The new CAFE rules aren't set in stone, according to The Detroit Free Press, but potentially taking advantage of the regulation is just one more reason to cut the Dart and 200. Modern crossovers also aren't gas guzzlers like older SUVs, which could make it easier to hit the fuel economy target. "Utilities offer practicality and versatility that cars do not, and now, built on car architectures, they do not penalize consumers on fuel economy as they once did," AutoTrader Senior Analyst Michelle Krebs told Autoblog. Schoettle warns that FCA is still making a gamble by killing the small sedans. "Depending on the previous sales volumes and how much these vehicles might have exceeded their specific CAFE targets, it's possible that these cars helped earn CAFE credits for FCA that they could bank for future use," he said.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat vs. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in latest Head 2 Head

Fri, Jan 30 2015

"Olympian" is one of the terms we use to signify the greatest height, the seat of the gods. Yet Mt. Olympus is the second-highest peak in the Balkans ranges, overshadowed by the crest at Musala in Bulgaria's Rila mountains. Both great heights, but one is a little higher. That's how we get the Olympian Chevy Camaro ZL1 pitched at the Musalic Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in Motor Trend's latest episode of Head 2 Head. The side-by-side spec sheet is filled with farcical numbers. For the ZL1, that's a 6.2-liter V8 with 580 horsepower, 556 pound-feet of torque, a 4,051-pound curb weight, 0-to-60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 12.2 seconds and a base price of just $57,800. Opposing that, the Hellcat wrings out its 6.2-liter V8 for 707 hp, 650 lb-ft of torque, weighs 4,449 pounds, does the quarter in 11.7 seconds and has a base price of just $60,990. Except in the case of the Hellcat, when Motor Trend put it on the dyno the machine spit out a reading of 672 hp and 606 lb-ft at the wheels. If there's a 10-percent driveline loss through those beefed-up internals and heavy-duty eight-speed transmission, that means the Hellcat is actually rated at about 750 horsepower and 700 lb-ft. But once they get put on a closed-off strip of coast road in Northern California, there are only a few strands of hair between their respective performances. That's not the case for they sensations provide; host Jonny Lieberman calls one of them, "One of the most incredible cars ever made," and says, "It changes everything." Watch the video above to see who got the verdict and how. Related Video:
