13: 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger
Opinions differ when it comes to the Dart. The car has a loyal following but there are those who downright despise it. Nevertheless, there were a few incarnations of the car that have come and gone. We won’t talk about the recent Dart model which cost Chrysler a billion dollars only to flop. Instead we’ll look back at the 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger. This rare model was designed to appeal to young professionals who wanted something different (via Barn Finds).
The vinyl roof was the most noticeable standout feature of the Dart. But the powertrain was also very powerful for the time. Of course, the rising fuel cost caused sales of the Dart to plummet almost overnight. The car had a distinct look that not many buyers were enthusiastic about. Nowadays, though, the 1970 Dart Swinger is the collector’s item and a rare Mopar collectors covet.
