The 4th Generation dart unveiled itself in 1967, and after a successful marketing campaign called the White Hat Specials this era of Mopar was on the top of everyone list. The 6,000 RPM for Under $3,000 tagline was a hit and the Dodge was one of the best values a Swinger 340 Package ran you $2,800 for 275hp with heavy duty Rally suspension, firm ride shocks and dual chrome tipped exhaust, it was perfecting balanced for this small car. The Bumblebee stripe tagged it as a Junior member of Dodge’s elite Scat Pack which included the Super Bee and Charger. It could run with the big boys knocking out quarter mile times in the mid 14s and hit 60 mph in just 6 seconds. Moving into a new era and style the 1970 was broke the mold and buyers flocked to showrooms. The 1970 model year marks many changes for the Swinger, it is also the most searched year online. Not only was the Swinger redesigned in order to differentiate it from other Dodge vehicles such as the challenger, it was also modified to comply with new safety standards.
In 1970 Dodge returned to the muscle car seen with new front and rear styling, Instead of smaller power vents, the hood now had two long, narrow hood scoops. Despite the introduction of the Dodge Challenger, the Dodge Dart still remained extremely popular, one reason the Dart Swinger was still fast and could often keep up with higher horsepower cars.
A as 2nd tier muscle car many have forgotten its sleek styling, awesome performance and unique appeal!! Over the years many examples have suffered and fallen victim to deterioration. In today’s market the Dodge Dart is often not restored or repaired as needed ALL in need of rehab. For an Automotive enthusiast of the brand buying back his loved car is quite a challenge and building the dream car can be difficult. Restored clean Darts are a bit of 1-off Unicorn and Extremely Difficult to find, as parts are difficult source and a thoroughly restored example is almost unheard of and will exceed 100k in restoration cost alone.
