I got a 1970 340 Dart Swinger for my first car back in 1976 when I had just turned 16 yrs old. It only had 42,000 miles on it so the drive train (motor, trans and rear end) was in great shape. It was loaded with options. A 727 Torqueflite auto trans, 8 3/4 rear end w/ 3.23 SureGrip rear end. It had A.C., power 4 piston disc brakes and power steering. The car was medium green while the hood and scoops were matte black and a black vinyl top with the bumblebee black stripe around the back of the car. I loved the Rallye gauge cluster with the 150 mph speedometer. The auto trans was a column shift and it had the roller wheel type of AM radio. Lucky for me this was 3 years into the oil embargo from the middle east so people had been dumping these muscle cars like hot potatoes. That combined with the trunk lid being rusted with bondo thrown at it and not smoothed out. 12 - 14 2" x 6" bicycle reflectors glued around the trunk and quarter panels and curb feelers attached to the back wheelwells had this poor unloved, obviously, car sitting in what they at the dealership called the "dog lot". But, because of all of this, they only wanted $350 for it. SCORE!! Needless to say as soon as I got it home, off came the reflectors and curb feelers. With the rust and bondo, it was underestimated a lot. I smoked a lot of small block Camaros, Mustangs, Novas, and a few 383 Road Runners etc. The high school I went to had guys with rich daddy's who made their muscle cars beautiful. They were my favorite to beat! Great first car. Those disc brakes saved my butt MANY times. That 340 motor was amazingly tough. I considered pretty much every stop sign as the start of a 1/4 mile. Freakin' indestructible! Lots of happy memories. The thing I regret the most is never taking any pictures of it. After 3 years I had gathered up all of the pieces that I needed to bolt on before I got it painted. Hydroplaned on a wet road before I could put it all together. Wasn't wearing a seat belt and ended up upside down in the passenger footwell. Sad day, that car deserved better.

The 340 Dart Swinger and the Super Bee were two of the best performance bargains of the muscle car era along with the Plymouth Roadrunner and Duster 340. Mopars definitely didn't have the best overall build quality in those days as far as fit and finish but their high performance drivelines were the best in the business in my opinion

Super Bees. I've owned a 1968 with a 413 solid lifter cam 4 speed, 323:1 rear. Car was aluminum and fast. Owned a 1970 383 4 speed and 323:1 rear. That too was a fast highway cruiser with L-60x15 tires on all 4s. Both cars had non powered police drum brakes, no A/C, and no other accessories added, not even a radio for you couldn't hear it anyway. Ran headers and 3" straights to the back axial. Those were the days. Don't forget the 1970 340 6 pack 4 speed AAR Cuda I had too. Mopar was rockin the auto world back then. Those cars got real light on steering at 130. We didn't have electronic ignition either. We had 100 octane real gas @ $0.35 a gallon right out of the pump. That was when America was America.

I'm no expert, however. I don't have a lot of MOPAR memories because they were pretty rare in my circle of friends, but when I was just a kid I do remember going to Cardinals baseball games in the back seat of a Dodge Dart quite often. It was a typical plain Jane model, not that it matters... The rear seat was bouncier than any trampoline I've been on.

Some of our fine commentators, including one “Me Too,” one “Rick Bullock,” one “BuzzLOLOL,” one “Brian Cartwright,” one “OneFastDuster,” and several others ought to be informed that it says right on the filmstrip that, “This film is based on information available on Feb. 15, 1970.” It goes on to say that “information cannot be guaranteed.” The motor company has done everything it can to make the consumer happy but keep in mind that this is a dealer information film. The idea is to inform the dealer to help the dealer sell the motorcar. The more cars the dealer sells the more more money everyone will make from the janitor at Joe Blow Dodge or whatever to the assembler on the line to the executive to the shareholder. The dealer will be selling the 1970 Dodge so they all need to know about it so that everyone can make money and stay in business. And the Dodge Division is still in business.

Amazing features that were not sufficiently or properly promoted. They could have utterly destroyed sales numbers of Ford and GM if they had put someone that understood the significance of the numerous Incredible features the engineers designed. Our familys' 1970 Roadrunner that became my car eventually was the best car I ever owned. It totally outperformed my 71 454 Corvette.

What's the difference between a two door hard top and a coupe, I'd really like to know an answer from an expert, especially since I first rode in my now owned family heirloom since I was 11 yr.s old. PS: It's a Chevy, but love my old Plymouth Duster 340 Wedge too.
@wallyworld21746 жыл бұрын
jeff craven a coupe has a solid "post" between front and quarter windows (current challengers) a hardtop does not. Hope that helped.

According to the NHRA HP calculator that car with a curb weight of 3300lbs going 122 mph in the quarter mile was putting 467.7 horsepower to the ground. That curb weight doesn't take into account the driver. Assuming Landy was 200lbs means that the car was putting 496 horsepower, to the ground! Even factory prepped cars, which were common when given to magazine testers, wouldn't do anywhere near that. Take for instance the 1970 GS Stage 1. It was the fastest of the year for regular production cars at 13.38 at 105. That's only 344hp to the ground. The 1970 LS6 Chevelle managed 13.81 at 103.8 which means 339hp to the wheels. So that means that a 340 was putting 160 more horses the ground? I smell something fishy here and it ain't a 'Cuda!

Keep in mind this promo film was intended for car salesmen, not the public. Accuracy of information was not a high priority. On the other hand, Chrysler ran a really great magazine ad in probably 1970 in which Dick Landy made multiple passes in all the Plymouth performance cars. ET's and trap speeds were very accurate and representative of what the cars would run.

A two-door coupe normally indicates a thick B-pillar being present, whereas a hardtop has no B-pillar whatsoever.

The "Traps" or the equipment to measure MPH and E.T. was way off.....If a car achieved 118 mph, it would be turning like 11.50's. 123 mph would be capable of high 10's......The MPH trap was way off .The ET measure looked normal.....

Are you KIDDING? The 340 six pack didn't become available until 1970 and was never offered in the Dart. Only the AAR Cuda and Challenger T/A got that engine. Calling it a "slightly detuned racing engines" is laughable. Here's a vintage HOT ROD magazine drag test of a 340 Dart. It ran a 14.5 @ 95 MPH in bone stock trim. They managed to get a 14.38 @ 97 MPH after removing the air cleaner element and upper half of the filter housing, thereby improving airflow. wildaboutcarsonline.com/members/AardvarkPublisherAttachments/9990400592914/1968-04_HR_Dart_GTS_340_Test_1-3.pdf
