The car is four speed and just wondering if its original and factory, also how many 70 340 Darts were built?

There are a couple of ways
1) Data plate bottom line E55 (340) D21 (4sp)
2) Broadcast sheet Line 2 >>> D Trans 21
3) on pass side of trans if original last 8 characters of vin is stamped LM23H [ ORxxxxxx ]

Govier's production code book lists 70 dart swinger 340 all LM23 cars

total production = 13781
shipped (US order) = 10382
3 sp = 955
4 sp = 4423
auto = 5004

Somewhat accurate
hope it helps

What condition is the dart in?
Will be doing a rotiserie resto on mine this fall.

Thank you for replying and giving us the information

It was one we saw and were wondering
You will love your rotisserie! we have a lot of fun with ours
one of the best investments we have made in tools/toys

It was so much easier for me to paint the bottom just flip it over as needed so awesome





Howard was working on making the exhaust system while I had fun painting









I got up early am this one morning and painted the interior of our ramp truck before he got as a surprise

Thanks for the added information

corrections also Howard quickly scribbled them down from a site we found and it was difficult to read and decipher his writing.
LM23 is correct
and the missing digit is a one and its at the end
