Picked this up earlier this summer. Not for everyone but I just love this car! At the local car show not only did I win Best Modified Mopar but I also had this 4 year old girl come up to my car, try to hug it, stare up into the eyes and ask my car it's name!
The eyes sadly is one of the greatest features that people comment on and 99% of the compliments are good.
The car is a 1971 Dodge Dart Swinger. Used to be a slant 6 car before it became this.
Engine is a 440 Magnum built by K&S Machine. Dyno'd at 430hp and 500ft-lbs of Torque.
Rear end is a Moser built 8-3/4 with 3.91 suregrip.
The transmission is a 727 automatic with a 2800 stall converter and currently sporting a B&M Quicksilver Ratchet shifter.
Future plans for the car are to change the 18" wheels to 15" and also contemplating a fiberglass lift of hood with a scoop, all in flat black.
