Haven't seen the magazine yet - which is usually a little different from this online version.

Congrats.  It's interesting that out of your fine collection, the Swinger makes it to publication.  BTW, it looks like there are a lot of bite marks on those battery terminals, that's a little unusual for a daily driver.

Ghoste - When I was 41 years old - I had more bite marks on me!

He did a bunch of cars - The Swinger is the first article - He wanted Doctona but it wasn't ready yet

Very nice...that paint drip will certainly make the car easy to ID, lol!  Incredible shape after all these years 

[41husk]

Congrats, that is such a cool feeling.  Just wait until you see it in the issue

Awesome Jim !!!!  Love the '69 GTS's as well...........     What a piece you have there. Speaking of GTS's........ Answer me this... On the white top and interior Darts, was it regular white like the B-bodies or did it have a pearl to it like the '68 B-bodies?

Thanks AB

The W1 white roof (painted roof on this car) is kinda an off-white - The stripe is bright white compared to the paint on the roof.

If you are talking about vinyl roofs and white seats - the white is fairly  bright white - some interiors like on my 67 GTX did have a "pearly" look to it. The white seats in my 69 X are fairly white but has a very slight "pearl" tinge to them. Confused yet?

Thanks - The magazine articles have more of the story and different pics as well.

  You and me both.

[tan top]

congratulations  MW      awesome dart ,  got to be a rare option on A body  !! V02 painted roof 

awesome stuff 

[maxwellwedge]

Thanks TT - The guy was too cheap to order the roof in vinyl and to order a radio as well. 

The only option was the automatic and upgraded interior - which got you actual carpeting!

[hemigeno]

Awesome!  Congrats Jim - and I'm loving that firewall paint run    I don't remember seeing that last year when looking at the car in person.  Great car.

Looks like I'll be collecting the whole Jim Bodanis edition series now

call me dumb (which i am sure many will jump on), but i guess i never paid attention to the stable of vehicles you have.  that GTS is very beautiful and very well taken care of.  congrats on the article.
