Keep the Dart Swingers alive. Live on baby big block killers. I have two 70 currently out of many over the past 40 years.63 now and still loving the mighty Swinger….ENJOY!
Awesome car! To bad about the crappy sound track so that we couldn't hear the Awesome motor. I was excited at first because it looked like you took out the radio. I took the radio out of my bee and threw it in the trash. Not that you could hear it anyways, lol. Then I made a perfect, crinkle finish, "radio delete" plate. Great car, son.
Love these things. My older brother owned, at the same time, a 1969 and 1970 340 Swingers, 4-speeds. He still regrets the day he eventually sold them. I wish I was old enough ,and working, to buy them.😭
We just picked up a 1972 Dodge dart swinger last summer. Originally had a 318 under the hood but it was tired so the previous owner put a 340 in it and that thing hauls ass we love it!
@@ross_mickovitch6435 there is so much power in the 340 it is unreal. When I was out for a cruise with my father he gave it a little bit of juice and he was only up to maybe 4000 RPM and it had me pushed against the seat! 🤣
Good for you, BB! Some of my favorite cars were ones that I towed home. Back in my day, I paid $500 for a 340 Challenger with a blown head gasket. I never looked in the trunk when negotiating. When I got it home I found the spare tire floating in a couple inches of water, lol. I had sooo much fun with that car. With headers and a 4.33 rear. It ran 14.85@97 mph.I sold it for $1,400 and put that money towards a RR. Good times. Best of luck to you my friend.
@@RedneckRealist a million thanks, BB! I wish I still had the 69, RR. It was too nice to be a race car. I swear it was a Twilight Zone episode when I went to look at it the first time. It was sitting in the parking lot of my local Dodge dealer! It looked like a brand new, off the assembly line RR! Immaculate. Metallic Turquoise, white vinyl top, white bench seat, Air Grabber/Coyote Duster air cleaner. It wasn't the Super Commando, 383. It was just the 4 barrel one. Not fast at all. Probably a mid 15 second car. What I really needed was something to put my '61, 413 with max wedge heads, in. So, I sold it and found a 69.5 Super Bee with a seized 383. This with my 413 ran 12.55@107. I was kind of a celebrity with groupies and everything! Crazy times. If there's a heaven I will be reunited with that Bee, someday. I'm 60, so it prolly won't Bee long. Keep me posted on your project please, so I can live vicariously through you? Thanks for the memories. kembleg7@gmail.com
I had a 73 340 Dart Sport When I was 17. Bought it at a dealer in Ft. Lauderdale, back tires were new when I left and bald when I got home in North Miami Beach.
My very first car was a 1970 340 Dodge Dart Swinger. It was 1976 and I had just turned 16 yrs old and had a fresh driver's license in my pocket. It only had 42,000 miles on it and had what I thought were interesting choices of items to have on what was essentially a jr. muscle car at the time it had been made. It had a 727 Torqueflite transmission, check. An 8 3/4 " Sure-Grip rear end. Same transmission that came in the bigger and faster cars and that rear end was tough enough for big blocks. Ok, must have wanted a cheap jr. racer racer. Saw an ad for back then recently that said, "6,000 rpm for $3,000!" Well, it was also ordered with air conditioning, power steering and power disc front brakes that had 4 pistons in each caliper. Those brakes actually came on the these Darts stock, people had to specify NOT to have the disc brakes. The power part of the brakes. Dumb, saved my butt too many times. Bone stock from it's carburetor to the factory exhaust manifolds. It even had the 4 hubcaps that it had from the factory. The deck lid had already rusted out to the point that the lock was about to fall off and there was rust in the quarter panels. Lucky for me, we were 3 years into the first OPEC rationing. Suddenly everyone wanted an economy car and muscle cars were the devil. Anyway I got it for &350 plus TT&L.
Back in 88 the 1970 Dart Swinger was my first car. I have to laugh! I had the same look and played Motley as well as GnR. I hope you enjoy the hell out that thing like I did mine.
Cool had 69 swinger when I was young like you very fast car straight from the dealer those the real deal nice car sounds good and looks like it runs good
My first car was a 70 Swinger, Slant Six auto, gold with a white top. Great car. Back in 95 I found an orange 340 sitting about 3 blocks from my house. Knocked on the door but no answer. About 2 weeks later there was an ad for a 70 Dart in the paper. I called, and the lady selling it bought it new with her dad as a cosigner. She said it was all original, and asked if I wanted to come look at it. I said yes, she asked if I needed directions. I asked if it was orange, she said yes, I told her I didn't need directions. It had a black bench seat interior and column shifted automatic. No vinyl top and no performance hood paint, but it did have the black bumblebee stripe. I rebuilt the AVS and it lit right up. It was indeed all original, #s matching, and if I remember correctly, it had a 3:55 Sure Grip in it. The interior was pretty much trashed with duct tape seat covers, but it was all there. I was about a year and a half into the resto of a 70 383 4 spd Air Grabber Road Runner coupe at the time, but I couldn't pass it up. After I had the car about a year, I decided I was done restoring cars. It went to a guy outside Chicago who had to hide it from his wife as he had 4 or 5 other Darts. Wish I'd been able to keep it and restore it to the condition your is in.
Never shows us what is under the hood...claims 350 horsepower at rear wheels......hahahahha....no way...it would take over 550 horsepower GROSS to do that and this is no 550 hp......nor 450.....
Its really not hard to comprehend once you read and see that these motors made 300 net/bhp out of the box. ua-cam.com/users/shorts5MXhIVrWt7w?feature=share
@@ross_mickovitch6435 I saw the end----it gave 5 seconds of nothing....tells us nothing except looks like a 4-barrel and stock motor......which I bet that's all that is....you are avoiding the subject.....go on the record..what are you claiming the horsepower to be....give us a number. If it was really modified you would be bragging...owners dont spend big bucks and dont show it......all you are showing thus far is a car with loud exhaust. The 0-60 videos you posted look rather lame...no horsepower seen. try again
@@chadhaire1711 lol you are a fucking goof, not everyone needs to brag about how much money spent, you can see the specs in the description of the other video. Believe what you want to believe, I've already told all the truth. Its actually funny how little you know for your age
My grandmother had one of these, I hope I’m able to run into one of these when I’m able to afford one. Would love to have it in remembrance of her and it’s just an all around beautiful car
That's not a crappy sound track
Nobody wants to hear that" all they want to hear is the 340👍
Turn off the music so we can hear the car.
Music ruins it

Sounds like Motley Crue saw them with AeroSmith here in San Diego 2012 and Def Leppard. Great Show.
Love your car but rather hear it than the music. Nothing wrong with it i just like the car better.
It's a shame you can't hear the car. In a car video.
Thank you so much for repeating the exact same comment that everyone else has made!
@@ross_mickovitch6435 Did you learn anything from everyone else?
@@jamesgullo8240 when you post the video of your car I'll be sure to write you so I can tell exactly how I want it done
My God, you just time-warped me back to 1988 dude lol. This car is stunning 🤩
My wife and I were going to buy one of these in 1982.We didn't because of the Swinger name! I won't disrespect my X.. boy was I the chump...
Ford guy here, but nothing on the road sounds like a 340!!
What a shame video started out good and then the trashy music comes in and ruins the sounds of a solid sounding 340..
😮its his video and his expression
Damn dude-kill the music. The real tunes are under the hood.
I had one with a 360 really fast

Very nice clean 340 dart, I had a 69 my daughter's called Edgar 😂
Why the music????
cette musique mécoeure dans ce vidéo.pas d,affaire a mettre ca.le reste ...bon burn out
The music drowns out the wonderful sound of the engine.
340 mopars !
I think when Chrysler engineers tested the first 340, they were like, "Holy crap!!"
That car is badass, I remember when they were brand new 👍
Looks great and sounds bitchin!!!!!
Could you get that dash in a Dart or did you get that from a Plymouth? Same dash I had in my 69 Barracuda.
It is factory for 340 swinger darts but you are right it is the Same dash as barracuda
Love the car the music sucks
Thank you 👍

Sounds like an awesome find!
You should’ve black out your plate!! So the OPP can’t use the video for evidence of Stunt Driving…..
Bonito auto,y de paso quemaba bien las ruedas,daba gusto verlo😊
Why would you turn the music up instead of letting us hear the motor unadulterated ?! Smh
The only thing missing is the girl, son.
That car is a work of art and they don't make them any more. Please dont beat on it!
Sorry Corky, but it was made to thrash. Anything less is unacceptable.
@aidanjlo exactly! the thing is gonna go to hell no matter how good/bad you treat it. may as well have some fun with it. I hate a trailer queen.
Ver ese auto es recordar mi niñez, bonito auto 😊
