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.

Awesome Jim !!!!  Love the '69 GTS's as well...........   :2thumbs:  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?  :icon_smile_big:

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

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

Awesome!  Congrats Jim - and I'm loving that firewall paint run  :o  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  :2thumbs:
