Hello! Picked this 48,000 mile Swinger last year, late in the summer. Didn't get a chance to drive it much before the weather turned, so I'm dying for Spring. Got it out for a little bit today, but we're supposed to get a lot of rain tomorrow. Glad I found this site, hopefully I can find a 3 speed manual set up for the car. Here she is out and about today:

Very nice! Welcome on board!

Thanks for the welcome guys. 48,000 miles, ice cold A/C, perfect interior and 110% rust free. And of course the Slanty! Found her tucked between two garages about five miles from my house. Here's some more pics:

WOW, now that's a straight car. Very nice

Very sweet ride! And it looks like the previous owner was a Slant 6 fan by the looks of the front license plate!

Thanks. I've been a Buick/Pontiac guy forever, but always had a soft spot for the Darts. Would have been nice if it was a 70-72, but it's nearly impossible to find a body like this in the Northeast(especially at the price I paid for it). So I'm not complaining!
What's funny, is that I've had some really nice cars, but this car seems to attract everyone. I can't go anyplace without someone striking up a conversation about it. I think everybody 40 and over had one, or so it seems!

Nice car, my 73 has the same interior.

Cool Dart, its neat you found one in that good of shape in your part of the country. I think the reason everybody talks to you about your Dart is EVERY ONE had one! [/quote]

Sweet! Mine's the 4-door version of yours with only slightly more miles on it. Wish my vinyl top were tan like yours rather than black.

Oooooowhy wishing for a 3-speed manual trans? The 3-on-the-tree shifter is godawful.

一期一会
Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

I'm not looking for a three on tree Dan, I want a floor shifter. Why you ask, because I suffer from two diseases in this world: The first is that if I see a car under a cover in a driveway, I have to know what it is and if it's for sale. The second is that I just can't leave well enough alone and I have to mess with it. This car is an example of both!

If you are going to all that work to put in a 3 speed why not just go to a 4 speed with OD? with proper gearing you can have better acceleration and better mileage both. one man's opinion.

I have a 3 speed and factory shifter out of a duster/dart I would part with if your really interested. I'm in PA. Drop me a PM if you want to discuss it.

Rick
