craigslist find
1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340, this is the CAR CRAFT Mag. project car
https://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/c...385674524.html
copied from ad
1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340, this is the CAR CRAFT Magazine project / giveaway car. IOWA Barn Find and has yet to be washed in over 20 years, runs and drives great, Numbers matching motor and transmission, Galen Govier authenticated and certified. It has had multiple articles done about it in 1969 which discussed the engine build (By Keith Black) the chassis setup (By Saddleback Dodge) the paint job (by George Barris) and still all there. Raced by "Wild Bill" Shrewsberry, I have "ALL" owner history with copies of titles showing each owner history and contact info, I have a scrap book with original photo's and tickets from the 1969 Winter Nationals when the car was given away. Wally Parks presented the car, along with Keith Black, Lynda Vaughn from Hurst, amongst many other Hot Rod Hall of Fame entrants. This car deserves to be in a museum, under 22,000 original miles. Will make its debut at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals car show in Rosemont Illinois on November 18th and 19th. www.mcacn.com Come and make an offer or contact Tom at 1-727-501-2603

The Cadillac even has "air conditioned power steering!" I hate it when my power steering gets too hot!

Look at picture 2 of the second one (the pimped Cadillac.). Is that a K car limo in the background?

Loose the fender skirts and it would make a 90% improvement.

Yes that is the previously posted pimped K-car Limo, and another picture has what I think is a pimped late 80's Dodge Spirit?

I was in Las Vegas recently, and the local car museum was displaying "a limo once owned by Frank Sinatra:" A K-car limo. Even though they presented a copy of the original title, I still have my doubts...

That caddy looks nice and maybe runs like it was made on a Wednesday, but I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole, even if it didn't have the Superfly headlights, which are hideous. With 88K miles, it's knockin on the door.

The Town Car seems like an excellant value if you can stomach the gawdy styling.

Frank and Lee were buddy's back in the day.

I work for Chrysler back then (now Fiat) and remember those limo's underpowered but built not bad for the price and niche they were made for.

Not likely, but...

It didn't look too bad from the pics he had.. Cars in that price range don't last too long

Yeah, somebody probably snatched that up. There is a Sprint engine for sale near me. I've thought of picking it up as I dig those engines but realistically I'd never get around to doing anything with it.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
