I bought my swinger when I was 15 as my first car. I drove it around all through high school with a slant six and auto. I graduated high school and the dart got a v8 fairly stock v8. I graduated college and it got aluminum heads and flat tops. Now I'm 27 and it's about to get a stroker .

I will never in my life forget the memories I made in that car daily driving it through high school and I doubt you will forget yours. A good tip; let girls drive it for their birthday present if it has the slant six. It makes them feel special. Also if you want to get "stranded with a lady one chilly night then sneak away and pull the rotor off the distributor. The only way to stay warm is to share body heat if the car isn't running . Then you can pop the hood throw the rotor back in and she is impressed with how handy you are. I could seriously go on for pages but just have fun and be safe!

So some more breakdown on my dart started to take the nose off found some surprising "fixes" I guess lol fiberglass on the driver side fender apron under battery tray lol and some more fiberglass on the front driver fender holding the bolt that holds the top of nose to fender lol
