1975 Dodge Dart Swinger review from North America
"This car does everything better than you would expect!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had two Dart's, this one had problems with the electronic ignition components, something you would expect as this was about when Detroit was just getting going on these types of ignition systems. Also had the misfortune of having a corner transmission shop "service" my automatic transmission, and they put the wrong filter on it, causing a complete loss of fluid and a burnt-up transmission.
General comments?
This is one of my all-time favorite cars! I liked the six-cylinder engine on my 1970 Dart better than the 318 v-8 on this one, and the six seemed to have as much power.
However, I really love the body style of my 1975 coupe, and the look of the dash on the inside! When I had to have a car recently, I was looking to see if I saw a car like my old one to buy!
