This is my son's 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger, which he is so very proud of. It just got out of the shop after beingh overhauled. It now sports a 318 engine, new rims, new top, new paint....the works. All the work was done by my wife's brother in Cut Bank Montana.....enjoy !!!  |

My son's ex-girlfriend's garandfather gave my son that car and it only had like 60K miles on it. The vinal roof was all torn up and had a lot of road dings in it too. Paint was fading a bit and had factory rims on it.
Took me two years to convince my son to let his undles fix it up for him.

Very nice ride. Congrats on the new coat of paint and overhaul. I'll bet it goes down the road nice and "smooth".

hmmmm gaetz...I haven't driven it since it was worked over...I did drive it from San Jose Calif to Cut Bank Montana to get it fixed...it was running so bad that big rigs were passing me on hills...got 100 miles to a tank of gas...man..it sure had me worried a few times.
Hope he drives it home this fall so I can get a chance to drive it and show it off a little..

I do have some "before" shots but..I sure don't know where they are. I had them on my computer but now I can't find them anywhere...did a complete search of all files too....bummer.
Will ask my son if he has any good pics of before..
