This is my new ride now that the Pontiac is dead and gone. I made $150 bucks off of it but anyhow, My '76 dodge dart cost $650 bucks and has a lot of minor problems (my speedometer is off, the engine is miss firing and the ring and pinion need shimed, also the grill and bumpers are wrong). However it runs decent and looks good, so I am happy.
The rear rims are actually vintage "Cragar ss" and I am trying to get two more for the front. The back end is jacked up because of the air shocks in the rear, I am debating putting hydraulics in there instead.


This is my engine and once I get a book about it I will put all of the specifications on this page. My car has 95 horsepower and is 225 ci.


My dash looks shoddy now but once the engine is running smooth I will be remodeling the entire dash.Oh I also need to put carpet in too, the idiot who owned it before me couldn't fix a minor leak and pulled it all out. I sold my old setup and now have a mp3/cd/zip drive capable off-brand deck and a 425 watt amp with a single 10 inch woofer.

I am hoping to convert this baby to a street racer. I want to put a 318 under the hood and give it a wicked paint scheme. I also want to put wide racing tires under it. If all goes well this should take 7 years at most due to monetary limitations. Keep checking my page for updates/upgrades.

The 318 is still waiting, i dont have enough cash to put it together right now. but i am slowly fixing the slant 6 and it runs a LOT better now. Anyhow I bought a 1974 4 door dart parts car and am in the process of swapping front ends but I still have no emblems for it ( I think they fell out the day I got the car and I never found 'em ). I am going to be putting pics of my new tail lights/grill up as soon as possible.

Ok now I want someone to tell me whether or not this car is a 1976 dart swinger SE or just a regular 1976 dart swinger. I was looking around online and found brochures for a "special edition" hardtop that sorta looks like mine. If anyone out there can direct me to a site/place that has dart stats and photos let me know. Thanx!

TO ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED: I am still in need for all the emblems! I am interested in any emblems 1967-1978 at a reasonable price.. if you have some you wanna part with, post your info in my comments page and I will get back to you.
