GT badges on a '71?
Nice looking car other than the noted vandalism.

'71 was actually the last year for the GT option though I'm not sure about the emblems, nor do I know if the GT option was available on the Swinger. However, the one 360 Dart built that year is/was a GT. It was the only known non-C-body Chrysler passenger car built that year with a 360, and just like all the rest, it was a 2-barrel. I remember my A-body fanatic buddy flipping his wig when he found out about that car back in the mid-'90s. I have no idea where it was or what became of it, but he had some kind of article about it from a Chrysler magazine. Govier documented the thing; it's in his White Book for '69-'71 in the production numbers (at least, it's in my old version). I still haven't heard of another non-C 360 car, but my ear really hasn't been to the ground like it once was either.

It's all in where your interest lies. I'm sure that you could tell us facts about paints that would blow our minds. :hmmm:

Man, how do you know all this stuff?

I did a lot of reading over the years, and for some reason the stuff just soaked into my brain. Also, a desire to excel at my jobs caused me to research things even further, particularly when I was working in R&D at Year One. I can't tell you what I ate Tuesday, but that's not essential knowledge to me.

If my oldest daughter was about 5 years older I'd driving to Portland to get that car for her. She loves that color...and would like to drive and old car...Check and Check!! :2thumbs:
