The Dodge Dart Swinger Swings Its Way onto Memory Lane
Back in 1970, the world was spinning faster, Elvis was alive, and the Dodge Dart Swinger was taking the streets by storm. This giant killer, with a package as rare as Native intelligence in Washington D.C., was a Mopar gem not often seen today. In the year the Apollo 13 narrowly dodged disaster, the Dart Swinger was fearlessly making its bold mark on the automotive world.
Flash forward 53 years later, and I’ve got a gem to share with you. Round of applause for this immaculate ’70 Dart Swinger, boasting the same sex appeal it had when it rolled off the showroom floor at Menlove Dodge in Bountiful, Utah for a suave $2,970. Puts to shame those boring econoboxes today, am I right?!
And gents, this ain’t just a show pony. This beast corners like a Ferrari, accelerates faster than Sinatra on a whisky night and goes in straight lines quicker than a comedian’s punchline. This Swinger’s a daily driver and a reliable sort; muscle and charm rolled into one.
A bit about what lies beneath the hood. We’re talking a 90-degree OHV V8, entirely in eye-catching Hemi orange, cranking out a whopping 325 horsepower at 5000 rpm. Kudos to the 340 cubic inches, the Carter AVS four barrel, and darn, don’t forget those 2.25 inch high flow duals!
But what’s a ride without flair? This Swinger sports the plum crazy paint (the only kind of crazy I’m endorsing), oozes bumblebee stripes and throws in a Scat Pack emblem for good measure. Plus, Heavy-duty Rallye suspension, wheels, and chrome-tipped dual exhausts show off its fighting spirit!
