Help with 1970 Dart restoration please.
Cool thing about the family car....
I understand about the stainless tips. I do see them being sold now but wouldn't buy them unless I looking at them first hand perhaps at a show or swap meet. I have chrome tips thanks. Just researching options. Last time I looked at the stainless (years ago) they looked too boxy with sharp corners not rounded.
I have heard of Accurate exhaust so it's good to hear from someone satisfied when the time comes. I have had aluminized on another car now 30 years and they are still looking good.
I have spent time looking at pictures of "original" 340 Swingers from 1970 and I don't see much consistency at all from people selling cars. They are pushing the 340 Swinger but I do now notice that very few picture had the Dart Swinger on the trunk. I read two the factory brochures that mentioned the quarter panel emblems but not the trunk. It wouldn't be the first time they were off...
I believe the trunk on the car is original. Not 100% sure because I found three sets of "Dart Swinger" in a bag of emblems but the trunk has three holes that don't match up. The previous owner could have switched the trunk. Would you happen to know which emblem(s) these holes were for?
I did see the black paint on the hood latch and bracket so That must be from blacked out grill paint.
I do have AC and the thumb wheel AM radio
