Mod Top Cars
Hello
I just recently purchased a 1969 340 Dart Swinger.I am told by the owner that it was a mod top car.How can I find out if it is a real mod top car,are there any codes anywhere such as on the trim tag.If so I will post the trim tag info for decoding.The car is originally Black on Black,bench seat factory 4 speed but is an auto on column now.When talking to the owner he said when his Dad gave him the car it had a hideous green and yellow flowered top.Being his Dad owned a Dodge Dealership he said he took it immediately to the body shop and had them remove the top and paint the car.Car still has all of the original interior and it is excellent except for one small tear in rear seat about 1" lomg,and of course carpet has a hole where the 4 speed used to be.Been painted on time and has never had any rust anywhere.I am thinking of putting a mod top on the car if it is in fact a real mod top Swinger.Does anyone know if the material is availiable and if so where. Thanks Bobby |

I'm no expert but according to this source ( http://www.mymopar.com/6971opcodes.htm ) you should have code V1H on the fender tag.

Everything sounds right about your car. The Swinger would have had the green top. Supposedly there were no Mod Top cars that did not have the Mod interior. You might have a very special car. Go to www.mooresmopars.com They have a section devoted to Mod Top cars and they can hook you up with a place to get the top material. 1969 and 70 were the only years for Mod Top cars.

Black car, mod top, white stripe, that car is so cool! That's exactly why I love old Mopars. You see so many interesting variations. I hope you put it back original as far as those options go. I bet you won't be seeing another one like it at the shows and cruise-ins.
