1972 Dart Swinger Special ??

Can someone tell me what the difference between a Swinger and a Swinger Special is ?

Thanks

Swinger special was the low line Dart for 71,72 and would have a LL as the vin.

Rubber floor mat, No rear arm rest bare bones. nothing "special" about them.

Here's a good place to start. It's the 72 Dodge data book and it lists the differences in the models.

72 Dodge Differences

Im not an expert,but I can tell you what I have researched since I own one myself.

Swinger Special is a base economy model of the 2 door Dart(Hence "Swinger").

Thanks alot that pretty much describes the car I just bought but fender tag has an E24 for the engine which has hooker headers and full dual exhaust installed. I believe the E24 is a 225/6 ?

E24 is a 225 /6 whereas E22 is a 198 /6

So the 225/6 was an option on the Swinger Special in 72 ?

Does the car have any badges or emblems on it?

On a true Swinger Special the DART emblem is on the quarter panel right behind the door.

The SWINGER emblem is on the front fender and underneath it will be a rectangular emblem which has the word "SPECIAL" on it.(SEE ATTACHED)


If im not mistaken a normal SWINGER has the "SWINGER" and "DART" Emblem on the front fender and nothing on the quarter

The car you have may just be a "Swinger"

Here a pic of where the "Dart" Emblem is located on a "Swinger Special"

Compare the pics of the emblems above to the emblems on this car and you will see a difference.

I have the broadcast sheet and it shows an LL code and it also shows the code 24 for the 225/6, front fender emblem is Swinger w/ Special under it, has Dart on the sides . This was a Canadian built car if this makes any difference, built for the USA.
