your Mopar's story

My story goes like this. My 69 340 swinger was my first car, my father and I drug the thing out from behind a guys house. We restored the car to a very good driver. I drove the car in High school and my wife and I had our first date in it. It has a well warmed over 340 with a four speed and 3:55 posi. As I got out of High School I needed "better" transportation and I sold the car. That was 23 years ago! Well about a year ago I was messing around on Ebay and low and behold, there was my old car. In California, And I live in Illinois. After not meeting the sellers reserve I called him and offered 500.00 more than my bid. He rejected, then called back in three days agreeing to my price. So i had the car shipped sight unseen nervous as heck. And now its mine again, forever I went through the interior last fall and can't wait to start the bodywork this spring, everything needs touched up. Here are some pics of then and now. I love driving it down these streets like I did 20 odd years ago, and plan driving it through resto! The pic in the middle is when it pulled up!
