Drache
1971 Dodge Dart Swinger
I have to say the amount of positive attention my new Dart gets is off the charts. I can't even go for gas or drive down the street without hoots, hollers, or questions. I have yet to hear a single bad comment about my car.
My favorite questions are the ones asking me what year is my Dart, simply because those people know it's a Dart even though it doesn't say Dodge or Dart anywhere on the car. The next are ones that ask me if it's got a 340 and see their faces when I say "no it's a 440".
Only 80 year old man came up and actually asked if the car had a 440. I said "of course" and his simple reply was "damn right" then he climbed into his 70's Dodge pickup and drove away.
Or I had to guys in their 20's pull up beside me, roll down their window, and while going down the highway yell out and ask me what the year made and model of my car is. When I replied they both started hooting and hollering.
I pulled into 7-11 to grab a drink and had 3 offers for dates and multiple offers to buy the car. Girlfriend wasn't too happy about the date offers since she was standing right there.
The best ever though came from two of my own cousins. One cousin you might remember owns the $100,000 blown hemi cuda, a $150,000 custom '56 Chevy, and a $40,000 '69 Firebird. The other owns a $50,000 '34 Ford Coupe Roadster and a $70,000 '69 Nova Drag Car. Now there is a reason I'm telling you what the cars are worth. Both these cousins invited me along with them to the Ashcroft drags this year for the Loafers race event. They have NEVER invited anyone in the family because in their eyes no one else in the family has cars in "their class". For some strange reason they count my new Dart in their class and want to see it race.
I am very happy with my car right now!
