There's another one right here in Victoria...

On the weekend of February 24th I put my freshly done '72 Swinger 340 Special in the Calgary World of Wheels, to great fanfare - and here's a few pics.

Yes, the Dart Swinger 'special' was offered from '71 to '76 as the 'base' level price point version of the Swinger, so you didn't get much as far as creature comforts - vinyl floors, no trim, no rear arm rests, taxi cab seats etc. For '71, 13,485 were made and in '72 19,210 were made, most got...

So my 1975 dart swinger special has been on jack stands for about a month as I have been fighting to find headers that fit (318 w/ ps) idk what transmission is in it but I think it's a a904 I could be wrong only had the car about 2 months. Anyways I finally got everything buttoned but and...

Hard to see beyond the lift arms on your pic but here's how they'd look - this is my '72 Swinger 340 Special 3sp manual on the rotisserie, with call-outs to the 4

I watched a video about tearing a 545 down just in case I find out that it's smoked to see if it required special tools to tear apart. You'd think I would have remembered that the entire rear shaft just unbolts and comes out..... Thanks for the reminder! I guess I'm just so used to GM...

swinger340specials.ca Go ahead and check out this new website dedicated to the handful of '71 & '72 Swinger 340 Specials built for 3 dealerships out here in Western Canada. I've hi-lighted all aspects of these very rare little muscle cars and what makes them so 'special', as well as a page...

Hot of the presses!!! I wrote this article for BoneStock Magazine on this J6 darn-near-survivor version of a Crosstown '71 Swinger 340 Special. Check out the real thing by getting a copy which would be a little easier in Canada, but in the US, some Barnes&Noble's and some Books-A-Million are...

I was only 11 when the 64s came out, and not yet into cars, But by 68 I could hardly wait to get a license. In 69, after I passed the driver's test, I got me a 57 Impala 283/2-speed. In 70 I needed to upgrade, and, it only took one ride in a first-gen Mustang to know that was not the car for me...

Those steering wheels look so right in those cars I have a 69 dart as well....original EF8 green car (triple green) and it has a woodgrain wheel factory because it is a White Hat special dart They did such cool options back then

2010 Challenger R/T Classic Plum Crazy. I special ordered the car in fall 2009 from Colonial Dodge of Hudson MA. It has been driven only during the summer and treated like a collector car since day zero. It has been garaged its entire life winters and summers from the elements. All the...

1971 engine & transmission wanted: 1R263395 this would be to my Canadian friends as car was Crosstown Dart Swinger Special. I purchased the Dart in California but word is the drivetrain went into a face car in Alberta area. All leads appreciated 860-4168434 call/text or [email protected]

Well almost six years since this post started, but I would still like to know how you think you have a 340 'Special' when all my info seems to indicate that the only Special (Swingers) were Slant-6 or 318 cars. In 1971, the (340) Swinger was replaced by the Demon 340, but supposedly there...

the roller cam 318s with 302 heads the 80s were rated somewhere in the low 9s for compression were they not?

So what your saying is a 360 with stock heads, some taller pistons with the 318 whiplash cam would be a good combo? It would be nice since I can reuse alot of my components which saves me some money. I might also change the transmission to a 727, but think I should maybe go with a slight stall...

Another shot of that ultra rare '71 Dart Swinger 340 Special, Canada only.

This is a true, ultra rare, '71 Dart Swinger Special 340, made in Canada only. Very few of these left.

Geez Rany that is a straight lookin car!!!

That is a beautiful car!! I'm jealous of that! I'd drive that sucker as is! I love the color with the grandma wheels

The Dart I just bought has Special under the Swinger emblem. What is the Special package?

I drove this 72 swinger special around for 2 years with a 318/ 3 on the tree. Towards the end of the two years before I parked the car, the linkage was the problem. One time at a red light, the 1st gear lever came loose so I was stuck in 1 st gear. That wasn't a good thing to happen when I was...

hey all! I am looking into swapping the original 3 speed manual(floor shifted) transmission out of my 1973 dart swinger special for a 4 speed(a833). I was wondering if there is a specific version of the A833 I will need to find to fit into my A body, or if they all fit universally. The car...

my 71 dart is a swinger special what does the "special" really mean? stripped down version/basic?

...pictures and the awesome attention to detail on the restoration. One day I need to get up to Canada to see all of these great 71-72 Swinger Special 340s you guys have up there! Hats off to you on the fabulous job you did to bring this car back to its former glory. One thing I wanted to ask...

Canada only built 340 Swinger, a few were made in 72 also.

Great job Cliff!!! Web site looks great and I just signed up to stay in touch. I thought there was guy in Michigan that has a project 71 FJ6 Swinger Special 340? Thanks so much for doing up the web page dedicated to these ultra rare cool Canadian A bodies :canada:

As mentioned earlier in this thread, I had found an EV2 '72 Swinger 340 Special buried in a slough, and was just too far gone to build back up. So, over 10 years later, buddy Kev, who had already built/restored his Y1 '72 Swinger 340 Special (see above pic) had discovered and purchased a B5 blue...

I was more into Motorcycles at 15. Still am. It took me a few more years to get into the 340 Mopars. Owned a '72 Demon 340 in '74. I didn't like having the detuned 340, bought a '69 Fastback Barracuda in '79, owned for 18 yrs. Marriage, Mortgage, and kids, sold in '97 for $1400.00 Canadian...

Sweet deal for $300!! Like other's have said... it's your car, do it however you want to. In my humble opinion, it's not worth keeping it stock without the numbers matching drive train that the car was born with. And there are a lot of engine options that are more fun than a 318. Not that...

The swinger emblem location is not dependent on 70 vs 71. It depends what model/options of Swinger. "Swinger Special" for instance has an additional emblem. Same goes for the "DART" emblem.
