1970 Dart Swinger - Bucket list build
A couple years ago I built a nice 65 Mustang mostly back to stock. I enjoy what we call the ice cream car. Fun to cruise around in and relax on a sunny day.
But I have the hankering to do drag week, hot rod power tour, maybe an NMCA event, hit a few drag strips for fun.
So I picked up this pretty rust free 70 Dart Swinger for $2300 with a lot of extra parts. Only rust was driver front floor board a few pinholes. The right rear quarter, and a few pinholes in the trunk. Rear rails last 2-3" need some attention other than that solid. 318 car soon to be a 360. Has an 8 3/4 open diff but at least the good axle. Entire interior. Missing a few minor things like the headlight bezels, and emblems. Swap meet here we come.
Time to scrape off all the undercoating. Have about 1/3 of it off the back of the car and it's solid. So here we go.
Plans are 360, 450ish horse, probably fitech or Holley sniper set up. Run 11s and drive on street all day, 6 point cage. Have fun.
