'71 Dart Swinger, mean or silly looking?

It would have been more humane to finish it off but then I suppose you could be stuck with the messy environmental hassle of disposing of the toxic carcass.

After driving the 5 hours home yesterday I found a Toyota Prius in the grille of my new Dart. I let it go back into the wild but I'm not sure if it will survive in this strange environment so far from home....

for the love of God take those stupid eye stickers off that damn scoop. I don't know where the vomit smiley is right now.

The car doesn't look bad for sure, I just hate those scoops. and i hate those stupid stickers worse than I hate those scoops. whats worse is when they put those damned led's in the pupils so it lights up. Just horrible. I think its worse than those stupid kid dolls leaning against cars at the car shows.

These ones aren't decals, they are painted right onto the valves

Paint some breasts into the scoop holes then the guys will all like it.  I dislike the scoop through the hood as well, but then again I'm not that fond of darts in general, only one I ever considered getting was a 70 dart swinger that had the two scoops on the hood from the factory, the next door neighbor took me along to look it over before he bought it, was a real 340 swinger with a 4spd.  Think he paid 400 for it, but this was also back in 1980.  He sold it a few years later when his daddy bought him a new celica. 

I'm sure a big block dart would be fun to drive, and not fun to feed.  A bit late to make the silly or mean choice now that you got it.  Enjoy what you have, make it your own, however you see fit, a dart doesn't need to be restored to factory specs, doesn't make them more collectible, they sold a lot of them way back when.

Those are some great power numbers. That car has to be a rocket! Hard to keep the tires from breaking loose I would think. I would not change anything too quickly. Get used to the car for a while. I like the scoop and the wheels just the way it sits.

On a wet road this car would be deadly. I punched it yesterday going down the highway and the rear end of the car started going squirrely. Then the tires finally got enough traction and I lost my testicles somewhere just north of town. Still haven't found them.

Sweet, i like it the way it is, wheels and all... I don't love it (no offense) But seriously cool car  :cheers:

I should have read this more closely - I didnt realize you bought it. Congrats, it looks like a very fun car.  :cheers:

I think the bigger wheels look fine and fit in with the new-school look of the car. It's really not my cup of tea, but if I owned it and was gonna change one thing on it, I'd get rid of the eyeballs on the scoop. It's juts too comical.

Now if you are gonna throw on 15's, by all means, keep the eyeballs, add some fuzzy dice, air shocks, and highjacker decals in the quarter windows.
