Cool story. Yes those 340 Darts set up right for traction were tough to beat. I am a Chevy guy thru and thru but the Dodge Dart Swinger 340 4 speed cars would be my second choice without a doubt. Years back my former neighbor growing up had one. I took a ride in that car and it was impressive. Again never thought of asking him if i could buy that car when he sold it. It was all stock too, not even headers. Kick myself to this day which i am sure we all have a story to tell we had a chance to buy these types of cars.
