Restored 2014 High Revving 340 ci

STK 2956 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger

The Dodge Division of Chrysler Motors produced hundreds of thousands of Darts, but the 340 Dart Swinger was the best by far. This lightweight 'compact' Dodge was an affordable, potent package when fitted with a high-revving 340ci motor. Weight balance was good, traction was excellent and when geared correctly these little Darts would give many a big-block a run. The 'LA” series 340ci motor evolved from earlier 273/318ci configurations, but was much stronger internally. The '69 340 Dart was truly one of the most underrated muscle cars of the era. This stunning, fully restored Dart Swinger 340 has been the recipient of a full restoration (2014) with minor mechanical updates. The exterior was carefully prepped and professionally refinished in 2-stage Brite Red (exclusive color for the 340 Dart Swinger) with correct 'Dart Swinger' stripes and the 340 Dart raised hood. It sits perfectly on 5-spoke chrome wheels with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. The interior is comfortable, but all business. Front seats have been recovered and new carpeting was installed. The dash holds a full set of factory analog gauges and AM radio. No console - just a beautiful factory Hurst Competition+ 4-speed shifter. This Dodge Swinger was delivered with the 'P code' option - 340ci High Performance engine. The 340 'LA' motor was born to run. It had larger mains, forged crank/pistons, HD rods, new heads w/2.02/1.60 valves and an aggressive cam. These motors were built to rev to 6,000. Our owner believes that the engine in the Dart is the factory 340 that has been completely rebuilt. It is currently fitted with an Edelbrock aluminum intake and Holley carburetor. Exhaust is routed to a free flowing system by tube headers and it is backed by Chrysler's fully synchronized A-833 4-speed manual transmission. These transmissions were virtually indestructible, even when fronted with a Hemi. When optioned with a 340 motor, Swingers were also fitted with a Rallye suspension package and limited-slip differential. Gearing appears to be somewhat taller than stock 3.55:1. Steering in our Dart is manual and an upgraded 4-wheel power disc brake setup handles stopping requirements. If you are into old-school MOPAR muscle, come look at this Dart Swinger 340. It is an investment that will not disappoint on the street. ALL VEHICLES SOLD “AS IS”
