In '69-'70 I feared nothing on the street with my '69 Swinger 340 (4-spd,
3.91). Lost a few races but won most.
One night at Ft. Benning chose off a Road Runner. Had no worries as
usually ate them up....pulled even in first gear...hmm, even in 2nd... now I
starting to wonder...as usually I'm pulling ahead of RR's at this point....he
left me like I was standing still in 3rd! Turns out it was one of the
first 440-6bbls! I hadn't even known about them yet. Unfortunately
he was a jerk about it. But still a fun memory! Ah! I
loved my MOPAR... still do. Got that Dart down to 13.08, pure stock with
those skinny stock D-70’s!
And that’s why I again have a Dart Swinger340.
On ‘62 to ‘65 content: The Dart replaced the 1963 Custom 880 ex-CHP
car I had...413 but a BIG car.

I took my Dart w/340 to the strip one night and beat all cars that were
matched up with me till a GTO Judge appeared; man, I thought this is where I get
creamed...I smoked him right off the line and pulled to over 10 car lengths
ahead to turn a 12.8 @106mph through the muffs to his 13.8; saw him later at a
“cruise-in” and he was gracious enough to publicy exclaim he was thoroughly
outrun.

hurt on a GTO Judge with my '69 GTX.On Thu, Feb 13, 2014 at 9:31 PM, <dcdriver@xxxxxxx>
