1975 Dodge Dart Swinger 2 door hardtop. SOLD

Howdy from Hudson, Maine, about 15 minutes northwest of Bangor. Good to see so many Mainers on here.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not 110% positive it's coming from the front, but I definitely don't feel any vibration from behind or below like I've experienced with u-joints in the past with other vehicles. The wheel bearing crossed my mind, but I guess I assumed that it would be something...

Hey Guys, The last few times I've had my bone-stock 75 Swinger on the highway, cruising over 65, there is a slow pulse-like vibration that I feel in the front end and steering wheel. It's about the speed of a slow heartbeat, but each pulse is a series of very fast vibrations. It's not a violent...

Sounds crazy, but have you checked your motor mounts? That sounds serious, and if you get a vibration at 3,000 rpm while in park, that makes me wonder... and it still doesn't rule out the torque converter if I understand it correctly. I'd find and fix the problem before I took it back on the...

My 75 Dart's speedometer is off by 5-15 mph depending on where it is in the speed arc and I got to wondering if there is a way to calibrate it to be more accurate. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Not to hijack, but how about with a stock 1 7/8" exhaust? Just got my 75 Dart and it needs a muffler but I am not financially able to spring for an upgraded exhaust just yet.

Thank you guys for sharing your pics and tips and tricks... This is one project I want to tackle soon.

Good point. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hey Guys - I knew the muffler was the first thing that I would need to replace on my new Dart, I just didn't know how soon. Last night on the way home the muffler let go and I'm looking for a low budget quick fix until I save up to change the whole exhaust system. I'm thinking of throwing a...

Yeah, getting metal drilled out of my eye is an experience I don't want to repeat. Ever. I've got safety glasses everywhere.

That looks really good. Thanks everyone for sharing responses and pics. I'm leaning towards a way to do this without cutting the bumpers. The welding doesn't scare me, the cost of new chrome does and they are too nice to paint right now. I like the first suggestion, but until I get the plastic...

Now THAT's what I'm talkin' about! Thank you! Any photo examples of one of these done?

Is it that stupid of a suggestion?:-#

Have you ever heard or seen a car that scrapped the 5mph bumpers in favor of something more streamlined and tucked closer to the body like previous years? My 75 Dart Swinger is gorgeous... but how much sweeter could she look with different bumpers? Too much to ask for? Your thoughts?

I created a gallery that has all of the shots I took as I walked around the car. One is a rear shot and you can see that that left side is pretty jacked. It clearly got hit at some point. The bezel is in two pieces and the back up light is not the same as the right side. I wonder if someone...

Thanks Dude! She looks amazing from 20 feet, but I see lots of potential and the beginnings of a beautiful friendship.

Today is a good day! I brought my new Dart home and snapped a few pics. As you can see, I need a few things like a new taillight assembly, some stainless trim and some touch up paint and to chase a few small electrical gremlins, and a muffler, etc... but I am a happy camper. Let me know what you...

When you swapped out the "beak" did you use one from a 73-74 as well? Thanks!

Thanks for the info. The 73-74 looks really sharp and I think I know where I can get one cheap. The grille on my 75 is looking a little haggard and my wheels got to turning and I was wondering if I could find something that would fit and look good.

Just like the title says, do other grilles fit? I know anything can be made to fit, but I'm wondering if there were "bolt-on" options out there. Weird question I know.:coffee2:

Thank you for that!

Hey Guys - I ought to be picking up my 75 Dart Swinger next Wednesday and have started to search for some parts and just some general information. I'm wondering if you can share some basic knowledge about what kinds of parts might interchange between various years, makes and models... you...

I followed TXDarts advice and took the little dart for a test drive... it was great. 0-60 in a week and a half but smooth as glass the whole way. I've been juggling money and by my math thought I could have the money together by Thursday (yesterday) and told the owner I'd make him an offer at...

I'm in Maine, dude... if I can't stick my hand through it it 's rust free. I miss living on the west coast.

Yeah, I got a better look at it today and it is not rust-free... just cleverly covered up with pretty paint. :-( Do you guys know if patch panels are made for a 75? Also was there supposed to be some trim around the windshield and rear window? Thanks for chiming in.
