This is a fantastic opportunity for a dedicated Mopar enthusiast, restorer, or builder to acquire a classic 1974 Dodge Dart Swinger with a verifiable history. This car was my first, purchased in 1989, and it holds many fond memories. It's ready for its next chapter as a rewarding restoration project.
Status: The engine starts! (Has been started this year, though it needs a full tune-up.)
The Appeal: A highly sought-after Mopar classic with its original, running engine—perfect for a ground-up restoration or custom hot-rod build.
Condition – Please Read Carefully:
This car has been kept outside since I acquired it in 1989 and requires a complete, dedicated restoration.
Mechanical: The 225 Slant Six engine does start, but it is rough and requires a full tune-up, fluid changes, and mechanical attention after sitting since 2010.
Drivability: The car has not been driven since 2010. All major systems (brakes, suspension, fuel lines, tires) are old and require replacement. This car is not safe to drive long distances and must be trailered/towed home.
Exterior/Rust: Since it has been kept outdoors for decades, there is significant rust on the body and various structural areas. Buyers should expect extensive bodywork, including panel replacement and welding.
Interior: Condition is poor and consistent with a car that has been exposed to the elements for many years.
Note: This Dart Swinger is being sold strictly "as-is, where-is." It is a project car for someone ready to put in the time and dedication to bring this classic back to life.
Price: $5,000 OBO (Or Best Offer)
