Vehicle Description
1972 Dodge Dart Swinger
The Dart name originally appeared on a 1957 show car featuring a
body designed by the Italian coach builder Carrozzeria Ghia. The
production Dart was introduced as a lower-priced, shorter
wheelbase, full-size Dodge in 1960 and 1961, became a mid-size car
for 1962, and finally was a compact from 1963 to 1976.
This Custom 2-door hardtop coupe became known as the Swinger, and
now for consignment the beneficiary of a frame off restoration,
this sweet mini muscle car is in near perfect condition. Dollar for
dollar, this is the most fun you can have for your buck, and it is
right here at Classic Auto Mall. Take a close look at the photos,
and you will see exactly what I'm talking about.
Exterior
What is believed to be a respray of pastel yellow covers the
exterior of this car. A golden yellow stripe runs from front to
back at the belt line. Ultra-clean chrome bumpers are present in
front with 2 rubber vertical bump bars, and in the rear, taillights
inserted. Badging is all beautiful, as are handles and remaining
brite work. An unscathed black vinyl top is present. Looking into
the trunk you will be able to view perfect rust-free interior
panels, and a like new liner which matches the original factory
liner. Standard steel wheels are embellished with shiny aluminum
deep dish rims.
Interior
Gold vinyl split bench seats upfront and a rear bench in back are
virtually showroom. Consigner states that the bottom bolster in
front was rebuilt, but otherwise the seats are original. Vinyl door
panels are noted, and they match the seats. The inverted "V"shaped
dash has original gauges, and an aftermarket tachometer attached to
the steering column. A stock AM radio, and factory air is seen
hanging from the underside of the dash. Gold carpeting is on the
floor and looks like it just exited the showroom. The left rear
window needs a provided crank installed, and consigner says the gas
gauge is not accurate, so he has provided a new one for the buyer
to install.
Drivetrain
Pop open the hood and a gaze into the beautiful, clean engine bay
we can see the 440ci 4-barrel engine that came from a 1969 New
Yorker. It has been returned to a stock motor, with work done and a
small cam installed. Behind the engine, we see a 727 Torqueflite
automatic transmission, which puts power back to an 8.75" geared
limited slip differential.
Undercarriage
Not unlike the topside, some major work has been performed here as
well. Including the K member changed to accommodate a big block.
Big sway bars were installed in front and in back. 4-wheel power
disc brakes are all around, and frame and other components
underneath are very clean, true, and rust free.
All the work is done for you, and the car runs better and stronger
than showroom new. This 3-owner car really has been well re-done
and is an eye catcher. Very affordable car for the MOPAR buff to
gain entry into the work of a classic. And what an entry it will
be!
