'69 Dart GTS, #s 383/4-sp

[Bill Pritchard]

Wow, that is beautiful. One of the few cars that I don't mind seeing a vinyl roof on. Of course, I have a real soft spot for the 69 Darts since my first true 'muscle car' was the 69 Dart Swinger 340 that I bought in December of 1970. Mine was a 4 speed also, but had a bench seat and although I don't really have a clear recollection of the shifter handle shape, I'm pretty confident it did NOT look like the one in this car. I AM pretty confident that if this car had a console, the shifter handle would have a dogleg that would bring the knob over closer to the driver's right leg.

My Swinger came with the same mag-style hubcaps that the car featured here has.....I traded those 4 hubcaps to a friend 'even up' for a running, driving 63 Chrysler Newport that I used as a winter beater so I didn't have to drive the Dart in the winter

Being a Chevy guy my next car would to find a 69 Dart 340 Swinger 4 speed. Those 340 engines were strong and fast. Tell me about yours.
