Another Canadian 340 Swinger Special on Craigslist?
Interesting. I did a little background searching and I found that the inland empire was north central Cali, which includes Hesperia where I know a Canadian EV2 Swinger 340 Special resides, but its in much better shape than the one posted here. Also, this car was listed for 5K on October 1st, so was probably sold, and for that price, it was listed as one of the ultra rare Canadian 340 Specials which I think is questionable with what I see here.
So, I looked at the pics closer and I do believe this car was originally yellow. If you look at the firewall and where the brake cylinder unit was, and where the hood seal rubbed off the blue, they both reveal yellow. Now, the the drivers fender does indicate that it had the 'special' emblem which these 340 specials were. Also, the 340 has the '70 hi-perf exhaust manifolds, not the '71 versions. With that said, it doesn't look good for it being one of the Canadian cars but if someone from the inland empire steps up and knows about this car - let it be known here, because it's tough to verify it as one. But, lets not give up on this 71 Swinger because we've only found 21 of 65 built, and they've been found all over... Cliff
