This is our muscle car search wishlist!

Custom Search

The muscle car search is on! Though we loved both the classic American muscle cars (the '71 Charger and the '71 Cuda) we cruised in during our high school days, when the time came to find our next muscle car, the choice wasn't for one of those.

First of all, they are both outrageously expensive even in terrible condition! Second, we plan on driving the car frequently which wouldn't make sense with a high value vehicle.




She always had a fondness for the ScatPack cars and there were tons of little Darts produced in the early 70s making them easy to find and not in huge demand yet in the car collector environment, even though American muscle cars are the rage right now. So we narrowed the choice to a 1971 Dart Swinger.

Do you read the last chapter of a book first? If so, CLICK HERE for the end of the story. Otherwise, keep reading.

Here are the specifics of our muscle car search, along with what we'd be willing to settle for if we can't get exactly what we want in our price range:


Preferred Acceptable
1971 Dodge Dart Swinger 1968, 1970, or 1972 Dart
340 cu small block V8 318 cu V8
Automatic transmission 4 speed (love it, but killer in traffic)
Bucket seats Bench with center armrest (would love houndstooth interior!)
Factory Rallye Wheels Standard wheels and hubcaps
Air conditioning Not negotiable!
Body Color
  • High Impact Limelight
  • Plum Crazy
  • Root Beer
Or
  • Gold
  • Military Green
Dual hood scoops, Scatpack emblems, tailstripe Plain Jane, the other can be added
Block vinyl top None
Factory dash and interior components Don't want hacked up dash, front door, or package tray
Minimal to no rust This is a must


So we expect we can probably get a good basic car in the price range we want but only if we keep looking persistently. Right now we are seeing a bunch of rust buckets that would take thousands of dollars to repair for sale for $12-20K. Obviously people are trying to take advantage of the muscle car mania that is happening. Our plan is not to pay more for the car than it is realistically worth.
