Bought my 69 Swinger in 1980 saw it for 4 years from when it was NEW

My 69 Dart is green also but I don't see very many mopars in this shade of green. Everywhere I go I get nothing but compiments. Hoping to take it to Goodguys here in Scottsdale az. this weekend and that will tell me all I need to know.

I was born in 57, in 1969 was finally old enough for Washington Post paper route. Only had route a month or 2 when I came around a bend in the road and saw this green glow under the street light!!!!! Been a mopar lover since. Anyhow 11 years after first saw that green glow under the street...

Clint, even though I am not running anywhere near as productive, heat generating engine as you but I have a recored 4 core original radiator with shroud and a direct drive fan[7-blade] and my car runs 195 all the time without a thermostat. BUT you have to keep in mind when it is 110-115 degrees...

George it looks like you are making great progress, you will enjoy it so much when you are done.

I live just east of the intersection of Gilbert and main street, it is the first street east of the intersection I spoke of. The name of the street is Chestnut, All you do is turn south then turn left on Alpine and I am the sixth house on the left 2245 east alpine ave. Where is your new house?

Man this is cool I just got done reading a 69 Dart build a day or so ago, and had 408 also I believe and the guy had never even been on a drag strip---first time out for car and driver and went 10 something!!!!!!!!!!!! Have the time of your life when you get it going!!!!!! I think it was...

Hey there fine69 do you have pictures of your car on here somewhere as I would love to see another similar to mine. I have owned mine since 1980 and drove it clear into 88,89 when I parked it. I got it out of storage in 2013,dec. and started work on it. Do you like the wheels? Is yours a stripe...

Clint, just finished reading the whole thread!!!! Nothing but respect and admiration, I went through teething problems and my Dart is pretty much stock. But you stuck with it and what a car 10s out of the box!!!!!!! Great job!!!!!!!!!

Yes now the garage is built lets see some serious progress!!!

I was wondering what happened to you, or if you changed your mind. Let me know. Paul

Doc, I am sincerely sorry to hear about that body shop guy just flat taking advantage of you. I wish I could help out in some way but I am probably just to far away. But it really pisses me off!!!! When we did my car I was down there where my car was every day sanding on it in 115 degree heat...
