1971 dart/swinger...340 4-speed
Good to hear these cars are still around and coming out of the woodwork to be brought back to life.It's a hard to find survivor so it should be treated as such and not modified further.
As for what route to go with the car,if it were mine I'd return it close to stock as far as drivetrain (72 340,original type trans,8 3/4 rear),body,paint,and interior but since it has frame connectors and is minitubbed,I'd leave it like that and have some big cragar SS's on the back.Sort of a day 2 style hot rod,maybe add some M/T valve covers,aftermarket air cleaner,headers,aftermarket tach,that kind of thing.
Be sure to keep us updated,look forward to hearing how it progresses
