![]() Quarter mile performance is 13.32 seconds 102.29 mph. It was a first-class winner at the 1998 Mopar nationals. It has made the cover of Mopar Magazine twice. In 2000 it took the Grand National first prize at the AACA in Charlotte, NC and Hershey, PA. Eventually I would like to put it in some of the premier national shows, however, I don’t own a trailer for towing purposes. I will continue to put it in shows and attend local cruise nights. The only thing I’ve done is taken it to lots of shows and taken lots of awards. I bought it completely restored so that I wouldn’t have to do any work on it. At a curb weight of just under 3,000 lbs., the 340 was more than enough to win the majority of races. It routinely beat GTO’s, Chevelles, Camaros, Mustangs, and heavier Mopars. Compared to other 1970 muscle cars, it was a giant killer. Found out it is quite rare being one of approximately 700 made. What’s unique or interesting about this car?ĭon’t see them ever, I’ve had my car in roughly 50 shows and have yet to see one as I’ve described. No aftermarket add ons, is as if purchased right off the showroom floor in 1969. There are 8 new and used 1970 Dodge Darts listed for sale near you on with prices starting as low as 24995.

I met with the owner, made the purchase, and had it shipped back to Salt Lake City. It had been professionally restored and I decided to pay the asking price so as not to be nickel and dimed to death in fixing something up. 30 years later while browsing the internet, I found one exactly as I had in the fall of 1969 in Scottsdale, AZ. ![]() In 1985 I started searching for another Dodge Dart Swinger as I always enjoyed the car. Several automakers had fostered the pocket rocket from theory to reality: think Comet, Falcon and even Studebaker. I sold it when the gas crunch hit in 1973. I originally purchased a 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger in the fall of 1969 from Menlove Dodge, Bountiful, UT for $2,970.00. What are your future plans with the car?.What’s unique or interesting about this car?.
