1971 dart/swinger...340 4-speed

Moopa, that white '71 340 special is now in Verdin, Manitoba and is still pretty much original – it was the 1st Crestview 340 Special, of the 25, to come off the assembly line for '71. We're debuting the first restored '72 Swinger 340 Special on August 8th at the Red Deer Mopar show. I noticed you were in Cedar, BC, where is that close to? There's a white '72 340 Special in a shop under a bunch of Mopar parts just outside of Mission, BC, if Cedar as anywhere near there. If you ever come across some old records on your old EV2, let me know. Do you remember if it had a white or black interior? It's hard to tell from the pic you posted. Hey, thanks for the info. Cliff

Sorry for the long response time, I just got the email tonite of action on this thread. As mentioned, I'm just south of Nanaimo on the Island. I don't think I have any records of the Swinger anymore, it was before I knew what all the codes meant, and they weren't worth alot( sold mine for $1600 with the new 340!), so not much thought given to that sort of thing. My car had white vinyl bench seat interior, column shift, manual steering,hood scoops, tail stripe, chrome exhaust tips,ralley wheels,radio,carpet,, thats about all I remember...cannot recall color of headliner( black or white).I might be able to dig up one more pic from the early 80's of the car, but I think there's maybe 3 photos of it, max.
What is the name of the place in Mission that has the 72, and is it for sale?
Also, it would be interesting to track my old car down in Sask...wonder if it's still alive??
Any way , if I think of anything else, I'll post.
