1972 Dart Swinger
I picked up this '72 a couple of days ago. It's a 225 2bbl/904/7.25 like everything starts out life. The tow truck driver parked it in front of one of my bay doors with no keys to unlock the steering wheel. I put an lock cylinder in it and got it running the other day. Some genius cut the harness off of the voltage regulator and ran the hot wire to an electric fuel pump. The pump works great, but the alternator won't charge for some reason?
I imagine it was the same person who tried to pry off the locking gas cap and left two pry bar dents in the side of the car.
Overall it's in decent shape. I've got to get a key cylinder to the locksmith so I can get into the trunk and find out what's in there. I found a center console in the back seat, so hopefully it'll be good.
It's not really as nice as it looks in the pictures, but are they ever?
The idea is to get it running and driving safely and then sport it around to the shows and beach this Summer while my Duster is in a million pieces for another year....
