1970 Dodge Dart Swinger

The Dodge Dart was a well-known nameplate by the seventies, but the Swinger was a last-ditch attempt to reinvigorate the brand. Unfortunately, during this period the Dart was lacking popularity due to the fuel crisis of the seventies. The Swinger did have a modest run thanks to the performance from the V8 engine, and the 340 V8 had a four-barrel carburetor and a reasonable amount of performance (via Barn Finds).

The car had features like a long sloping hood and a large interior, slotting it above other cars in this class. The Dart Swinger was one of the last cars from this decade to have a powerful V8 under the hood. If you got this in the bright yellow paint job you were in for something special. There are very few cars from the era that managed to be as much of a sleeper as the Dart Swinger.
