Thanks for the update. Just a couple more questions on it tho... was that car in the US or Canada? And was it close to you?

Hey simopar, I'm sorry I didn't see the image of a fendertag you posted earlier, like almost 3 years, haha. Gotta love FABO, never gives you prompts. Anyway, it certainly shows the 'A51' Twister code and is stamped 'E55' and has an 'H' in the 6th spot in the VIN along with the VS29 meaning...

This time round it’s Geoff Stunkard at Mopar Action covering MCACN - but just hi-lighting 9 or so cars, and yup, you guessed it - we were one of ‘em!!! Too Cool.

FYI... a lot of you FABO members may be subscribers to Mopar Collectors Guide and may have seen the April issue - and yes, that damn blue princess made it into a feature there as well, haha. So, if you don't have your copy yet, they are on shelves for awhile yet, and here's what the article...

With the brand new (April) edition of Mopar Collectors Guide landing, here's a few of the magazines this little blue princess has been featured in... what a ride!!!

The publisher at Bone Stock Magazine, who in the summer ran a feature on my '72 Swinger 340 Special and knew I was going to MCACN in the fall and asked if I'd chronicle the trek down there for the winter issue. And here it is...

Thanks Kim. Doing my part to get the Canadian word out and it's turned out pretty good so far, LOL. Here's a neat aspect to me being there at MCACN... Dave Wise, of MMC Detroit, 'THE' new Mopar voice for all things in validating, inspection and verifications of all things Mopar, including being...

Hey all, OK, not a big article but Hemmings Muscle Machines magazine did a feature on MCACN in the March 2019 issue and out of the 550 or so amazing machines there, they featured about 20 of them and my '72 Swinger 340 Special was one of the stand outs!!! Too Cool, eh! Here's what it looks like...

Thanks Tom, and no problem waving the '340 Special' banner - I've got way too much time invested, haha, but loving every minute of it!!! Oh, and speaking of major magazines, I was on the phone with Randy Holden of MCG for over 1/2hr this morning and directed him to the website to verify things...

Wasn't that cool!!! This Jerry guy (who turns out to be a writer for Muscle Car Review magazine and others, along with his youtube videos) sticks a camera in my face and starts asking questions, and I'm like, blah, blah, blah and then I see this guy under my car (who turns out to be Dave Wise of...

Hey Mike, yes, wasn't that an awesome show - we were lucky as I/we had a car there - what a ride. Too bad we didn't have a chance to chat but glad you saw the little 340 Special along with literally tons of other Mopar's, which I heard there were even more last year - probably with the shaker...

Sweet. He must have been there Friday night, my canvas mat was still clean, haha. We actually had a good Canadian turnout, both cars and people, so that was neat to see - there were 5-6 guys out from Gibsons BC, they came with Dale Ingram, one of the '71 340 Special owners. With that said, we...

Hey Ron, was so awesome for you to go out of your way and show us Canadians a little Chicago - and stuff us full of D'Agostino's deep dish - nom, nom, nom :)- As well, great meeting you and your buds, great people, good times! Then there was the show - damn, that's one big *** event. On the way...

Thanks man, looking forward to it...

Hey Penstarpurist, you mentioned in your post here that one of the cars for sale in your area was a... "which includes a '71 340 4speed Swinger. Hemi Orange all numbers matching". Is there a way you could put me in touch with that guy/car? I have one of these cars but it's too far gone to...

Awesome info Marvin!!! Thanks so much. So, just to get it right, or as close as possible for my website production numbers - would you be good with me rounding the numbers to 140, but because I break them into years, 70 for each year? Also, I had put 20 Suisse built '72 Demon 340's (like...

Awesome. You rock. Thx

Wow, they made a lot of cars there! So, in your estimation, and you have said possibly all the Barracuda's got 340's for '68 and '69 - but do you really think that was the case? No 318 versions? Too bad those numbers have evaporated but let me know what you think. Thx.

Very interesting... thanks Marvin. That would be awesome if you could find out how many were 340 cars, vs 318 etc., of the '68 and '69's! It would be pretty wild if they were all 340 cars!!! So, when I made that image/page large, it pixelated, so just want to confirm the numbers: '67 - 24 made...

Marvin, very interesting, thanks! So you say there were a number of Barracuda's (68-69) that were built at Schinznach and some with 340's? Wow. Would you know approximately how many got 340's? And yes, we've chatted about the/your '72 Demon 340(s). And crazy on that 4 door Dart taxi with the 340.

Yes, too cool. Do you think any of the '71 & '72 Valiant 'Sport Coupes' got 340's?

Hey Sandy, you just posted your '72 Sport Coupe - sorry, I'm a little confused (easily done, haha), but is that an export car of some sort? Fill us in if it is - I see your in Canada...

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...

Thanks man and I'm sure you'll be seeing it at some point over the next while. Here's a few interior pics...

Thanks Mr. Gorsky. You noticed them among the 'swinger splashes', eh? And yeah, unorthodox placement for the 340 emblem and yes that was original. '70/'71's had them on the scoops and the '71 & '72 Demons had the 340 incorporated into the Demon decal/emblem behind the fender opening - so I...

I wish. But no. I love this country but it's so, so big. Haha. Joel says he's shooting for it - he has a '72 'Pembina' Dodge Y1 version.

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.

Mopar Muscle Magazine ran an article in June, 2001 on strange things Mopar had done thru the years. And in the 'scarcest' section, they ran this... interesting! Check out www.swinger340specials.ca for the full meal deal.

Here's a tech-sheet I had put together that hi-lights these '71 and '72 Swinger 340 Specials, but obviously the website has a lot more info. Make sure you take some time and check it out... www.swinger340specials.ca
