Today’s reader’s ride is a burly 1972 Dodge Dart Swinger built and owned by Mike Moreck from Akron, Ohio. Here’s the word from Mike:
The older pics are up until 2008, when we won the Chryler Classic series Pro Class. The later pics are body work and paint in the body shop, the next ones are in the shop at work covering overspray and blacking out anything in the wheel wells, and the last ones are the finishing touches. All the body and paint work was performed at my place of employment, Ohio Technical College, by students, and the engine assembly was performed by myself and several students in the High Performance course over the last year. The mechanicals include a 360 block .060 over bored with a 4″ stroke crank making 414 cid.A 727 reverse manual valve body transmission and a Mopar 8.75 rear end with 4:56 gears. If you need more info, send me a message.

Chris Green is in the Coast Guard Reserves and is currently re-called on active duty orders. And he is the creator of this very special 2007 Dodge Charger R/T. Here’s the word from Chris:
I designed the car myself and did most of the work to it as well. My great uncle was a POW during WWII in the Bataan death March. So I did a tribute car for him and others like him. I embedded the 5 branches of service challenge coins in the doors and engine cover myself. The wheels I had custom painted. The graphics are decals right now because I wanted to make sure I liked how it looked on the car before having it painted. It will get painted in the near future. I started this project September of 2010 I have escorted 3 MIA remains during the funeral precession, in front of the hearse to the grave side. Attended several events, car shows and parades with the car.

Sebastian bought this very original looking California car in Hamburg, Germany, and it currently resides with him in Dresden. Can you imagine this burly American muscle on German roads? Must scare the crap out of AMGs and Porsches. It’s a numbers matching 4-speed 383 car. Sebastian added a Magnaflow X-pipe for a little extra growl. You may notice from the pics that he also owns a 1968 Dodge Charger…

It’s refreshing to see an E-body convertible with its original small block drivetrain. This purple 4-speed 318 car is all numbers matching, restored about 12 years ago. It’s one of just 78 convertibles made with this engine and tranny combo in 1970. Great pics from its current home in Boca Raton, Florida.

Check out William’s beautiful 4-speed Dart GTS out of Leesburg, Virginia. Here’s the word from William:
I have had the car for five years. The car was done when I got it. I have had two other 1969s–one back in high school which was a 1969 Swinger with a 273 hi-pro in it. The second we did a build with a 383 in it but builds are so time consuming so I was looking for one done to start driving and enjoying. Wish I had picture from last year car was setting on 50 yard line at Washington Redskin training camp. Sold a 1969 Chevy Nova and 1970 Chevelle 454 to get this one. Great move on my part car will never leave my hands. The car will sit and rust before kids even get it.
This was originally a 383 car but now has a 440 bored to 492. It has a hydraulic clutch and stainless steel exhaust. See more pics after the jump!

Check out this sweet Slant Six A-body, which has been in Kevin’s family since the beginning. Here’s the word from Kevin:
This Duster was originally bought in February of ’76. It was purchased by my Grandmother and has worked its way down to myself. This car was never sold until I bought it from my Father. He is the man that has restored this car and all I am doing is a little finishing touches. All mechanical has been rebuilt, interior has been recovered and paint has been done. We love playing with old cars like this out here in the woods of East Texas.
