WoW there's a few swingers here.Heres one that has me in shock still----this is a 76 dart with manual drum brakes-no biggie but it has small bolt pattern axles and drums.I always thought they stopped the small bolt pattern in 72?

Just the disc brake cars got the big pattern on 73 and up.  All drum brake A-bodies are 5 on 4

JS27 That is what the wife wants done with the 73 we just got. The reason I bought it is she wanted to paint the 68 pink and white. I didn't want to put it on a 60's car. Now it's mine and I'm leaning twards the Hemi Dart look, without the Hemi though. I don't want to sell the house just to get the motor!!  :roflsmiley:

I had a '73 /6 Auto Swinger, green on green, very base model, for 4 years ('86 - '90).  When the Challenger blew its rear freeze plugs I had nowhere to work on it so bought a daily driver till I could.  I put 25K miles on it before moving to Ill Annoy, left it behind in Las Vegas with a coworker who really needed a cheap reliable ride.

Outside of the grille (hit and run while it was parked), normal Las Vegas sun damaged interior, and a couple small dents, it was still in great shape and ran well when I let it go.

Cool!  I like how the rear taillight chrome was whited out.  Looks very clean looking!  :thumbsup:

It does not look as good in person because it was his daily driver for a while so it has a few rock pits in the paint.  It interior is even nicer than the outside.  I will include a pic.

He got the wheels at Summit.  He wanted to get the ralley wheels, but after looking at the total cost for everything he decided to get something else.  These cost about $120 for all four wheels, I think they look great.
