I've been on stage throwing out bids knowing I wont win just for the hell of it with my buddies. All that free liquor does have some influence after awhile, don't ya know! :o

What I see here are a few D-Dart owners hoping to make an ugly duckling popular; something that even mopar couldn't do 40+ years ago. Of course that would help the bottom line. If you really love 'em, go out and race 'em as they were intended. Has anybody contacted mopar to get the cars possibly accepted in Stock with an HP reduction to boot? Same with SS as the cars were intended. Have any of these interested parties petitioned for a HP reduction with NHRA or is it just bantering on the net? If not, get it together, it looks like a no-brainier to me.

Yes, that little Dart has the coolest looking nose.
Mako-shark style. Throw in a nice tweeked 340, S/S springs and
4.89's.
After that, the only thing the other small-blocks will be seeing is the
back-end.
Whats that Pocket-Rocket weigh, 2700 lbs. soaking-wet:).

But how do you stop that car?
Surely those little drum brakes (9" originals) will get cooked going through the traps;).

Good brakes for the Dart.:)
Crazy brakes for the Cuda:eek:
The drum brakes never worked well on my 69' M-Code 440 Cuda.
I'll try to check out a 65' Dart 273/235 Commando (all original car), that still sits (garaged) in Jefferson Valley, NY. A convertible, with the
yellowing plastic rear window. Automatic, but with 7 1/4" rear.

Noticed the D-Dart on the auction block. The shifter is an "Inland" unit,
with the reverse-trigger handle. D-Darts came from the factory with
Hurst shifters, with a white round knob-handle. :confused:

Paul,
D-Darts came with the Inland shifter. I have a picture of John Bedell's D-Dart but have to resize it. Will post later. This is his car as rec'd by the dealership. Nice hub caps.
