I was going to say something about it's big  , but it's not so big in comparison to it's previous owner's, by the look of that seat! Lovely car, I've always liked the dart. I think I generally prefer the less well-known muscle cars, and with that engine I'd imagine it'll be something special when you're done with it! |

Well Andy,
It's even better than I expected.
When I saw the first pics I wondered why you needed that hub cap as its on nice wheels anyway.
Then I saw the trunk with the spare bits in. Gotcha.
Anyway, I do look forward to what you get up to with this one.
Maybe you can post up pics of your other cars n trucks so we get an idea of what you have done before.

Do it myself and use Kingstown shipping to transport the car to docks in USA and off load at Southampton. They will also process the import paperwork. Its not hard to do, just a little worrying at first when you tie up a lot of money in something you have only seen in a photo. I'm always amazed and relieved when they do actually turn up!

That's a nice example of '71 Swinger! I would go to the original way with the dash. But that's my opinion. Have any idea what components engine has inside? Viljami |

No idea on the engine, but it doesn't appear to have done many miles, if any since being reborn from an original 6 banger drums all round to a v8 360 cu with discs at the front. I think it might even have a meater diff installed. initially plans with the dodge was to go gunmetal respray with 17" rims, sort of like this.  But now i'm not sure about the large rims. I need to change the magnum 500's currently fitted as they remind me too much of MGB rostyles, which I don't like. It looks good in the photos but does need a repaint. So not sure on a colour change or keep the gold? But think I'll loose some of the chrome side trims to clean the bodylines up a bit. maybe I should go a little more bold?  |

I think this one is a 67, but done very nicely... Classic looking wheels but looks quite sinister!

A nice looking car there. I don't think they get enough attention compared to the Chargers and Challengers but on the up side I imagine the prices are more sensible?
Whoever did that wiring and dashboard needs to be sent to a darkened room with nothing but a copy of Anne Widdicome's autobiography for company 'till they apologize.
