Vehicle Description
Cars like the 1972 Dodge Dart Swinger was the way to get a truly
fast muscle machine. Just like the Chevrolet Nova, but a lot more
rare, this Mopar packed plenty of power into a compact, lightweight
body. This coupe takes that history up a notch with a lager 340 V8
that has been further enhanced. So while you might have stopped on
this one just because it's an attractive classic coupe for a value
price, you'll soon see it offers so much more.
1972 is a desirable year for Darts. This would be the last time
they did not have federally mandated impact bumpers, and that means
something special on a car like this. The front end is far smoother
and looks classically attractive, and the rear had a great design
that integrates in the body and even carries the taillights. Of
course, it also helps that all of this brightwork has a superior
shine that looks like everything is new. But we're willing to bet
it's not the chrome that got your attention at first. Nope. That
bold red looks amazing, and it's the perfect aggressive shade for
the dual scoop hood w/hoodpins. Capped off with the 15-inch
Centerline racing wheels, and anyone who looks twice at this Dart
will know it's something special.
Swing open the doors of this Swinger and you're greeted by a
correct black interior. Dodge had some extra style over the other
guys back then, and so this pristine vinyl almost has a tuck-n-roll
appearance to it. The instrument panel remains in stock form, but a
Sunpro Super Tach has been added underneath the dash to the
high-revving 340 in check. Also added is a iconic Mopar chrome and
wood three-spoke steering wheel. It goes nicely with the wood
paneling around the original instruments and glovebox. The upgraded
Alpine AM/FM cassette player w/digital tuner does a fine job of
fitting into this setup, too. And when the outside temps get
uncomfortable, the air conditioning is still blowing cold for you
and your passengers.
When you pop the hood, you'll find out that those callouts on the
hood scoops didn't lie. It's a big 340 cubic-inch V8 powering this
Dart. Not only is the displacement an upgrade, but this one also
has an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Weiand intake to really
give it a presence on the streets. And as much as you want to show
off this Mopar motor, all you have to do is let people hear the
growl of the H-pipe dual exhaust, and they will know you've got
something special under the hood. On the road this coupe feels nice
thanks to features like sway bars front & rear, a three-speed
automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes.
You know you love this Dart just because you can call it a
"Swinger." But with an enhanced V8 heart and a comfortable A/C
interior, well then, you also know this classic Mopar is a steal of
a deal. Call today!!!
