This was the first car I owned. Bought it from a guy who let me drive it for the weekend to make up my mind while he went camping. It had an unstoppable 318 in it. I treated the car like crap, and it never failed me. Owned it for 4 years in Alaska. Changed the oil 4 times total. Never had a problem with the thing running at all. In fact, with the air shocks in the rear, I was able to take this vehicle places that 4-wheel drive trucks were getting stuck! I REALLY miss that car...Jan 27, 2010

This is 73 Swinger with a 360, bored 0.30 over, 1970 Mopar 340 "J" heads, shaved for high compression. Runs on 94 octane pump gas, but prefers VP Racing fuel or higher-than-pump-rated marina fuel. I've got a Holley 650 double pumper, which is extremely finicky! It's got a freshly built 904, 3spd auto with a quick-shift kit and 2500 stall torque converter. This setup puts out about 375HP and the car runs low-mid 13s 1/4 mile without slicks. It's got a 12-bolt posi rear which locks up nicely on takeoff! This car is great going in a straight line, but it's not much for braking or turning. Gas mileage is unmentionable.Jul 30, 2008

I bought this car in January of 08. I paid $500 for it, it didn't really run, but I managed to get it home, and have been restoring it ever since. I have about $2,000 into it now, and it gets better every day. when purchased it was a forest green on forest green car wirth an avacado/green interior. I'm keeping the body all green, but all of the trim (vinal top, grill, bumblebee stripe, and scoops (exterior)) are black, or will be black. I have Scoops coming in the mail, for my next small project, but so far it has new Black/cactus green front seats, new black armrests, a new grill (painted black) I have fixed the front bumper vallance, and bumper itself from a wreck previous to my ownership. also I have put on new front shocks, and adjustable rear air shocks. new "Swinger" eblems on the front fenders, new windshield wiper/spray setup. the original 225 slant-6 is gone with a '77 slant-6 from a Valiant as a replacement. I've also done a little wiring, and changed out some burt out switches, and bulbs. most of the little stuff is done now, it still needs a new dashpad, headliner, back seat re-upholstry job, and new carpet wouldn't hurt. I would like to put in a 360 one of these days, and beef it up a little, buit that's later.Apr 15, 2008
