This auction is for the car only WITHOUT engine or transmission!!!!! Otherwise 100% complete.

The first step in recovery is admitting you have a problem.... Hi, my name is Mike, and I am addicted to Muscle cars...

I woke up this morning, saw my wife's bags packedand realized that one of my cars must go. With three garages full of cars and parts, two restorations in process, I think I my have spun out of control!!!

Up for auction is a gorgeous 1971 Dodge Dart Swinger (MINUS ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION)(currently has 340/727 autoinstalled in car)

This Dart started life as a 318/auto a/c car and grew up in the Sunshine State of California. I bought this car 8 years ago from a guy who lives in Elgin, Il. He told me that he had owned the car for years and drove it throughout high school.

I must first say, THIS CAR HAS NEVER HAD ANY RUST.. HAS ALL ORIGINAL PANELS, NO ACCIDENTS, VERY LITTLE FILLER.... WAS 100% RUST FREE!!!!

I spent the better part of 4 years completing a ground-up restoration. The car was media blasted to bare metal before several coats of DupontPrimer was applied, blocked several times and finished with abeautiful House of Kolors Tangelo Pearl. The cost of the professional paint job was over $8000.00. Everynut and bolt was either cleaned or replaced. Other parts replaced and included are: All Brake Parts, All Front End Parts, All Weather Strips/Seals, Bumpers, Wheels/Tires, Radiator, Gas Tank, and I'm sure there are several things I left out...Interior is complete...I HAVE INVESTED THOUSANDS!!!!!

I have chosen to sell this car less engine and transmission to try to minimize my loss.

The car will be road ready with the addition of crate small block, monsterbig block or whatever you decide to do with it.

The restoration is 4 years old and if you look very closely, you will find small, insignificant blemishes as you would expect with any car stored and driven. Make no mistake, this car is show quality and turns heads every time itleaves the garage.

Drive train parts included; 8 1/4 possi rear end with 456 gears, driveshaft, headers/exhausts, all pulley, brackets, mounts, belts/hoses, power steering pump. Everything you need to drop in an engine and trans and go!!! I have several other parts I will throw in.

I strongly encourage you to inspect this car BEFORE bidding.....Pictures only show so much...!!!

I will require a $1000.00 deposit within 24 hoursof the conclusion of the auction and the balanceupon pickup. Car will need to be picked up (trailer), Unless prior arrangements are made. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. May be able to assist with delivery within 300 miles, for a fee.
