1974 Dodge Dart Swinger

Really solid Dodge Dart Swinger 2 door hardtop, that needs restoring/clean up. Originally a slant 6 cylinder car, someone put a 318 v8 in it, runs but needs overhaul/tuning to be streetable. Automatic, factory air conditioned car, original radio still in it. Interior could be cleaned up, new front seat upholstery, and carpet and drive it. I have a recently overhauled 360 v8 Dodge engine that goes with it that will use the 318 accessories and heads to make a more powerful, fun driver with some zipthe 360 v8 can be 'stroked' and made into a 408 cubic inch killer engine for those of you who are hot rodders (I be one of them). Bought it to fix and drive myself, but have too many other projects, so decided not to do this one (I'm building a 1969 and 1970 Mustang, for myself and 3 other customer projects, so need to cut back.
Body is solid except the trunk spare tire compartment that has rusted through due to water getting in it, new metal replacement pan is $215. Floor pans are all solid with a little surface rust here and there. Along the rear roof line where the body seams were welded and at the front pillars at the body seam, rust has invaded those areas due to the vinyl roof that was on it. These areas will need repairing, but I will be working on those to fix and seal back up (price will go up some once I start/finish those repairs). Carpet is worn out so will need replacing, dash pad and rest of interior is in great shape, except the front seat. It will need a new upholstered seat cover (I suggest using Legendary Upholstery…$700, if you want the best on the market, but there are cheaper options available from restoration houses). It runs and drives as it is, but needs some mechanical redo, engine smokes a little on start up. Transmission linkage is off a little, but the car will drive and shift as is.
