I had a 71 Dart Swinger with a 318 and 2:73 gears. I would eat the local kids and their Mustang 5.0's alive. They would take off and spin while I wouldn't and by the time their tires caught I was long gone. It also cornered like a cat and someone factory ordered it with 10 inch drums all around so when you wanted to stop, you stopped. Check the torsion bars up front in the engine bay, when they went they would go right through the inner fenderwell. A little old lady had one with a slant 6 that did that. Mine was originally Plum Crazy with a black vinyl top and black stripe before the guy repainted it. One of the few cars I owned I want back. Some kid on a bike pulled out in front of me and I put it on its driver side and tore the unibody. I could not afford to fix that much damage. I would love another someday.
