Six years should be long enough...
Fast forward to August of this year. While my wife and I were on a short vacation, I figured I would ruin it by looking at cars. I had been looking for a complete car that didn't need much body work, or a full on restoration like what mine needed.
I found a 1971 Dart Swinger in Washington Court House, OH that had a cheap paint job but looked solid. I wanted to see it in person because I was worried that paint job was hiding something.
Turned out to be a pretty solid car that wasn't made of Bondo.
I haven't seen floors this solid since I left the South. Yellow is obviously not the original color, but I can live with it.
It has a 318 with the standard "go fast" parts and a 904. It idled like it had a rowdy cam, but it wouldn't rev up. More on that later.
