We don't want to be unkind, but what did Dodge think when choosing the name of the Dart Swinger Concepts thought?! Long before Tesla launched its S3XY model portfolio, the sporty brand of the Stellantis Group tried to present itself with slippery model names. At Dodge, however, it was only a variant of the dart that was presented to the public in 1969 and never played a major role in terms of sales. In January 2022, this copy is now to be auctioned on Classic.com in the USA, and it is expected to generate more than 110.000 US dollars, as it changed hands for this sum in 2019. Now we will introduce you to the vehicle in more detail.
Collaboration Chrysler / Custom-Car-Forge
This Dodge was, so to speak, the forerunner of various SEMA concepts, in which the manufacturers now work together with tuning companies to create their very special highlights. As early as 1969, the project was the result of a collaboration between Chrysler and the tuning company Alexander Brothers, and premiered at the Chicago Auto Show that year.
After a Complete restoration Today the vehicle shines again like in the times of Woodstock and the hippie revolution, and thanks to the maroon paintwork, which has black stripes on the rear flank, the Dodge is still an eye-catcher today. Other highlights of the former exhibition star are an extremely eye-catching one Air scoop on the hood and alloy wheels by Ansen Sprint, on the Goodyear polyglass tires were raised. Other special features of the Swinger Edition, you don't want to pronounce the name without ulterior motives, are angular headlights and round, centrally placed fog lightsthat evoke a great reminiscence of the Mustang from the era.
This vehicle is part of a time that will never come again in automotive engineering, because the electrification of the automobile means that the days of crazy performance and displacement are history. The lucky winner who wins the bid for the vehicle should, in our opinion, cherish the Dodge and not try to wear it out and burn it up.
The interior is contemporary!
Black individual seats that were owned by one Hurst gear lever are separated, testify to the sportiness of the late 1960s. A bowl-shaped wooden steering wheel with chrome spokes, analog Round instruments and the complete abandonment of a car radio testify to the intention of the tuners to have designed the vehicle as a dragstrip racer. One convenience feature that has found its way is one Power Steeringto make it easier to maneuver.
A 340 cu.in. V8 petrol engine provides propulsion!
The number 340 in the model name of the concept car is not chosen purely by chance, but rather gives it Capacity in cubic inches. With his 5,6 liter V8 naturally aspirated gasoline enginethat after all 279 PS generated, so that it is not a bit stronger than the conventional swinger, he can certainly be on the quarter mile present the taillights on some vehicles. The power is transmitted via a Four-speed manual transmission on the rear wheels.
