• Miscellaneous Mopar Madness *PICS*
  • Thanks Bill!! *NM*
  • The medium green 1970 Dart Swinger with Cragars appears to be the super-rare GT option upgrade (note badging on rear quarter.) If that's a true US based car (and not one of the overseas Darts), I believe this one may the first one I have ever actually seen. Cool! *NM*
    • So, according to the factory sales brochure, a "GT" is just a hardtop Dart Custom with bucket seats (instead of bench), and a GT medallion. And it'll have a 225-I6 or 318-V8 for an engine. (340s only came in the Swinger 340). No wonder it's rare. *NM*
      • Yep, that's the one I was referring to. That's what I recall from the Dart brochure that year. 95% of Darts 2drs that year were Dart "Swingers" with the "Free Automatic" (transmission package). It was such a deal that no one wanted - and no dealers stocked...
  • Love the black Duster with the HUGE meats on the rear. *NM*
  • I'm curious as to why the 1970 Coronet R/T convertible has no rear marker kights on the rear quarter panels that are supposed to be in the stripe? *NM*
    • A lot can happen in 54 years. *NM*
    • I think some aftermarket rear quarter panels were made without the cutouts for the lights. Because they differ year to year. Maybe the bodyshop forgot about the lights? Just a guess. *NM*
  • I really like the black 1971 Charger with the 1970 Dodge ramcharger hood scoops and the straight red pinstripe down the side. That car looks really good to me. I might build a model like that. *NM*
  • Oooo, that gold '74? Charger... *NM*
  • Still wish Revell had done the early 70s Swinger hardtop. For a while seemed like everyone was wrenching on 1:1 Swingers and Scamps *NM*
    • Question about that, so MPC did the La Dart and the Petty kit car, but no stock version?
      • LA Dart didn't have a front bumper, also the front wheel openings are too far back...
        • I had an MPC Charlie Allen decal sheet when Iwas in high schooL (class of '82), but I used it on a built Bobby Isaac Charger Daytona! The wheelbases lined up exactly!
  • Early Cuda Fastback + Cragars = Heaven *NM*
