69 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 that I bought in December 1970 from our local Volkswagen dealer, which was owned by the guy that lived across the street from my folks. 4 speed, 3.55 Sure-Grip. Beat that car mercilessly and it just ran and ran without complaint. Eventually put a 4.56 gear in it, and some huge cam that was a poor match for the otherwise stock engine. Traded it to a friend in June of 72 for his 68 Olds 442, which I kept for all of three weeks. The out-of-focus Polaroid picture is the only color picture I have left of it; the in-focus picture (taken at the same time) I gave to a friend who was doing a series of car-related articles for our local newspaper. Never saw that picture again, but I did scan the newspaper feature that he wrote about it and used the in-focus picture. My friends 69 Super Bee in the background.
