1969 Dart Swinger

 

Street Machine Spotlight !

Dodge had some tricks up its sleeve when it introduced the Dart. In 1963 Dodge built the Dart on the compact A-Body platform for the fourth generation, engine options ranged from a 225 C.I. slant-6 to a hot 340,and there was the GTS version that featured the 383 big-block.

Even Dodge super-tuner MR.Norm built a Hopped-up street special called the GSS that was built with the 440 HP engine.
 

 

 

 

This Dart features a 340 small-block that has been stroked to 408 C.I. and it's backed up with a727 automatic transmission built with a 3800 RPM stall converter and a stage-2 shift kit,giving it firm shifts that chirp the tires. 

 

 The chassis features heavy-duty torsion bars up front with disk brakes and the rear was upgraded with Cal-track bars with S/S leaf springs and factory drum brakes.

Hooker headers and a 3 inch exhaust system let the engine breathe.Other features include a Holley 950 CFM carburetor and Edelbrock aluminum heads. Out back an 8 ¾ rear end was narrowed to fit some wide Cragar SS/T chrome wheels that were fitted with Cooper Cobra radial G/T tires.If the sound of the exhaust doesn’t get your heart
pumping maybe the Hemi Orange paint & black graphics will.

                           The interior is all business with a Monster Tach.on the column and a B&M Z-Gate shifter on the floor.

                                                The original hood call outs don't give any clues to what lurks beneath.
