Greetings! I just lucked up on an all original 1973 Dart Swinger. Truly one of those "little old lady, garage kept, low mileage" cars that you hear about! I have been out of the old car routine for 15 years or so and have never owned a slant six Mopar so I will be a bit rusty as far as my knoweledge goes. Looks like I have found the right place! Been lurking around for a few days and it seems like there are a lot of nice folks who know their stuff on here. Hope ya'll don't mind if I pick your brains in the months to come as I tinker with this Dart. It runs good (I drove it home, 4 hrs) but it did sit in garage for years and was only driven around the neighborhood. It is going to need a tuneup, U-joints, and motor mounts to start. Anyway, I won't overload you guys with Q's just yet, soon though! Thanks! |

The white walls have since gone, they looked brand new, but were 20 years old! I also rebuilt the calipers and put new brakes all the way around. Like I said, next order of business is new U-joints and ignition upgrade/tuneup. |

Did you get it in Moultry? The fairground sure look like it. I am from W. Georgia near the AL border off of 20. I won't say I am an expert but I have done a bit of work and torn down and built a slant back up. I have another slant car in the wings (64 Valiant 4 Door) waiting for some attention also. |

I actually found it on Craigslist in Palm Coast Florida. Rust free, still has factory paint on floor pans and original A/C that works! 81,000 miles!
