HWJOE ◊ 2014-02-28 16:05	According to imdb.com, this is a modified 1970's Dodge Dart Swinger, if so looks 73-76 to me

At a quick glance I thought perhaps a Rambler as well, but the Rambler had a horizontal line in the middle to split the grille. The most apparent distinction is the grille-mounted rectangular turn signals. Interestingly, I culled this information from the Internet regarding the registration: "Q number plates were introduced in the UK in 1983 to replace the previous "unregistered vehicle" plates. They are intended for use on vehicles that have been extensively modified, rebuilt using parts from different vehicles, or imported from overseas without a valid registration date."

night cub ◊ 2023-09-28 22:51	This is another capture that looks super dark on my computer, so I lightened it up a bit: Now I can see that it is a 1975-1976 Dodge Dart for certain. By the length of the door, I would say a two-door model, so either a Swinger or Sport. -- Last edit: 2023-09-28 22:52:32

It started life as a manual, probably a slant six, it had the remains of the air conditioning set up under the dash & was originally bronze. I think I was the 3rd or 4th owner after it was used in the film & was exactly as it was in the movie. It had a 273 V8 (probably from an earlier Cuda or Valiant), a Torqueflite auto & an 8 3/4 Posi. Stock black interior with bench seats, lowered & slot mags. I bought it from a fella in Beckenham in Kent & he told me most of its history. The only mods I made was a Grant steering wheel, B&M shifter & Autometer gauges. I sold it to another fella in Welling in Kent the following year who painted it satin black. The current pic someone on here put up (from Flickr) isn’t the same car. It’s an earlier Dart (judging by the front end & the doors) with my old Reg number or maybe a rebody? The original car or at least the shell I’m gonna assume is long long gone. Which is a shame if that’s the case as apart from the drivers front fender it had no rot. If I can work out how to post a pic on here, I’ll post a pic of when I owned it. ALABAMA ANDY wrote
