'71 Swinger! Like it or Not

Nice car, but not my style.

One thing that really bothers me (and I've seen other 70+ Darts like this) is the rear stripe is supposed to continue onto the wraparound part of the rear valence and terminate just past the lower rear body line. Just guessing, but he probably applied the stripe with the rear valance not installed yet, trimmed that part away, and then installed the valance.

That and the shifter and hoodscoop are cheap looking and goofy. Like something you see in a JC Whitney "racing parts" section.


The stripe should end on the body line, there should be no stripe on the valance panel. When done correctly, you can stand behind the car and see no stripe. Then standing at the side of the car, see the stripe all the way down but can't see it end. So from a side view it should look as tho the stripe wraps right under, but it don't


My opinion on that car :pukerigh:
First off the tail stripe should match the roof
The wheels don't suit the car at all. I think those are the wheels from his Camaro, thats where he learned to black out the engine bay
The scoop out the hood is rediculous, give it back to the street rod it was stolen from.
And maybe its just the picture but the side of that car looks like the body work was done by a teen in his backyard at night with a flashlight and sunglasses after drinking a 12 pack and hitting a few joints
:supz:

He has some good parts in that car but honestly from what I see I wouldn't pay more than half the asking price.
In todays market, $22K will get you one hell of a car.
If someone wanted to give me that kinda cash for my Dart it would be gone today and replaced tomorrow.
