With an extensive list of top-shelf engine modifications, this expertly restored 1973 Dodge Dart Swinger is a no-compromises car that is dollar for dollar, more fun than anything else you can buy. Benefitting from a recent frame up restoration, this Dodge Dart still retains all of its original sheetmetal. The cars solid panels were straightened and sanded until everything lined up just right and then covered in original Chrysler code GF3 Light Green Metallic and a gloss white Swinger stripe. Up front, a showroom fresh grille spans the entire width of the car and houses correct headlights and marker lights that function perfectly. On top of the hood, a Duster scoop, complete with chrome “360″ emblems, sits on the cars central body line and provides an aggressive look that goes great with new for 1973 front end styling. The profile of the car combines the modern look of late 60s and early 70s design with fender lines that kick up right behind the doors to provide the classic ‘coke bottle shape’ introduced in the 50s. At the back of the car, ridged fenders flow into another broad show worthy chrome bumper which houses four great looking silver trimmed tail lights. This is one slick car that someone spent a lot of time perfecting. Open the light green hood and check out the cars stout Mopar Performance 360 crate motor that has been completely disassembled and enlarged to 408 cubic inches. On top of the motor, a Holley 750 double pumper grabs air through a chrome air filter …

My brother owns this 1973 Dodge Dart Sport. He just built a 440 for it, so we took it out for a short traction test. It only had about 800 miles on it in this video, so we’ll do better once it gets fully broken in. 1973 Dart Sport, 440 RB, A833 trans, 8-1/4 rear w/ 3:55 gears, TTI headers w/ 3″ exhaust turned down.

My First Car. Age 15 . Dodge Dart Sport. Baby Blue. Slant Six. Ansens. More to come

Alright, now before a bunch of people start flipping out at me for abusing this dart, realize its NOT your car. I won this car on ebay in 2005 for 230 bucks. And We had some fun with it, put a small dent in the door, the ball joint went, then i sold it for 230 bucks to some dude who’s gonna put a ball joint in it, fix the rust, and possibly throw a 440 in the beast. This dart is a stock 318 with a 904 behind it. Its nothing special, and really rusted out. Especially the floor pans. I’m really not that big of a fan of the body style, especially compared to the 63-66 body styles. I really like the 64 and 65 darts. I sold my 64 dart in 2010, and still have my 65 dart gt convertible 225 manual on the column. I got lucky and won this car on ebay, and pretty much just bought it to use in the most fun ways possible. We are NOT the kind of people who buy cars to restore, to have these immaculate, shiny show pieces, that we hardly ever drive, that we only take out so people will look at them and think, wow, that dude has a nice car. We don’t buy things so that other people think cool things about us. we liked the car, and used it the way we like. And it did not destroy the car. A few burn outs, locking up the brakes, a little water, and some wobbly driving can’t hurt a car. Thats one of the points of this whole video, and something i think alot of people really need to learn. This was a tough puppy.

Correction: The torsion bars do not bolt in at the front. They are retained by the circlip I show and tension from being loaded.
