1970 Dodge Dart Swinger Hardtop Coupe

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Introduced during an era of muscle car dominance, the Dodge Dart Swinger Coupe combined sleek design with potent performance. Although originally offered as a full-size car, by 1970 the Dart had become a stylish compact offering. The Dart Swinger, a variant of the popular Dart model, featured a sporty two-door hardtop body style and showcased the bold styling elements of the time. Featuring the iconic Mopar motor known as the Chrysler 225 “Slant-Six,” this popular inline-six became one of Chrisler’s most successful motors, in production until 2000.

This 1970 Dart Swinger is finished in a Dark Tan exterior with Tan velour full bench seats in the front complete with the dual band black fender and trunk stripe that was a mainstay on many Mopar products at the time. The Swinger Hardtop Coupe blends the appeal of the early 70s with an uncommon model that offers the possibility of years of enjoyable classic motoring.

This car is part of the George Foreman Collection, which comprises over 50 cars from the 1930s through today, with a focus on American classics and late-model sports cars.

Known Imperfections

Bidders are encouraged to review the Additional Documents section of each lot for any recent mechanical service rendered to help return certain vehicles to running condition. Additionally, bidders should carefully review the photos of each lot in the collection, which may highlight the oxidation of metal components certain vehicles sustained as the result of a garage fire caused by a golf cart battery in March 2019. Although none of the vehicles sustained fire damage from the fire itself, the negative cosmetic effects of the corrosive soot vary greatly from vehicle to vehicle and can be observed in the photo galleries of each lot. All lots are sold as is, where is, and bidders are responsible for any desired diligence before placing a bid.
