Since collecting insulators, this has been a project put on hold. My one owner 74 Dart Swinger. My grandfather gave it to my grandmother for Mother's Day '74. Their first new car. Build sheet says it was made at the Newark plant on Valentine's day. Appropriately colored metallic maroon with a creamy white interior. My grandparents passed on in 1990. Had the car since. Original 225 ci slant 6. It's driveable. 95% original. Solid. The only options are auto and A/C (broken). No power, drum brakes, foot operated window washer. Aside from the front seat and front floor, the interior rivals a 5 year old car. I hope to eventually have it restored. Electrical, paint and engine will be left to the pros. I will install easier stuff, like trim and bolt on parts. Any Dodge (MOPAR) ICON members with suggestions and tips?
