Very cool man, what happened to it? It would be interesting to know what motor you had since the 6 packs didn’t come out til 68, I am building a rotisserie to start the restoration work on my 71 when I get my Jeep out of the garage
I’m so ready to get working on it

Rotisseries are the cats a*s when it comes to building a car, saves soooo much time and effort.
Building one is cool but that never crossed my mind.
I got to use one to do work to my '68 Camaro that needed frames tied, cross members put in, and the blueprinted 427 installed that still twisted it @ 625 HP, it was a lot for a kid to afford in those days.
I can feel your anticipation lol, I still get those "IWANNADOTHAT" moments.
And I still need to find a car for my 383 sbc stroker with the 380 offy tunnel ram on it like my '68 Camaro's 427 had but the exitement is waning.
It will most likely end up being a noise maker on a rolling stand with a rad.
Safer that way lol.
As for the Dart, I remember that the car was a '67, and the immediate memory was that the engine was a 373 or a 273, and the guy I bought it from said that it was called a "ratpack"
The six-pack was the whole reason I bought it as I had an earlier '63 Chev that had a 327 with a six pack on it and I loved the attention I got with it, never thought about oddball cars that could be worth money.
And in my mind, I WAS sure the '68 car of the same body type was the first year Swinger, but I'm not so sure anymore lol. Internet shows Swingers in the older style bodies, so obviously I have a few fused brain cells going on as there are other things that are just missing until someone mentions a trigger word lol, probably Alzheimers, at least I'll have new friends everyday If that happens.
Tried to find that same year and type car online, but it doesn't exist, or at least I can't locate even a pic of one.
So I'm all screwed up over what I had.
I sold it to a guy who eventually just about killed himself in it.
It also had a 4 speed with a reverse lockout on the floor, but no console, just a box with the shift pattern cut in the top. The car was a duplicate '68 Swinger, but in a dull red paint scheme and absolutely no pin striping or any sort of Swinger style tail stripes, just dull red and a totally black interior with a few chrome seat strips, one piece bucket seats and a chrome stick.
Now mind that I was an inexperienced kid from the other side of the world where toys were totally different according to mentality and character of the peops that live there.
Much more the British types of sports and road racing, American muscle cars and drag racing was not an item over there, we had 50 cc mopeds hopped up to the jingjang doing 65 miles an hour and revving at 16 grand, and what we called TT races, like the Isle of Man races and rallies.
Whole different world over there then.
Anyway, I fell off the thread direction and should stick with the builds.
beers.
