Description: Selling my restored and modified 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger. I got this car 4 years ago as an auto body project that got a little out of hand with the upgrades. This is a rare car, I never see another one on the road. Included with it are two new side mirrors, the ORIGINAL manual (rare), original spare tire and other bits and pieces.

I have a lot of time and money in this thing and I’m definitely losing money on this, but now I need something more reliable and better on gas. Probably gonna get a motorcycle for commuting.

Thanks for looking at my ad, there is some minor damage on the front left fender from a hit and run when I was parked, but otherwise and extremely clean car. This is a great weekend car, everybody loves seeing it at car shows because everybody knew someone who had one in the 70’s. Constantly getting thumbs up driving around town or on the freeway. Definitely the baddest A-body Mopar in Santa Barbara.
