Default Re: '66 Dodge D-Dart at Mecum auction

Oh, the D-Dart info.
May 1966, Performance Car Review (now defunct) did an article on
the 1966 D-Dart and 1966 K-Code 289/271HP Mustang.
The D-Dart was equipped with a "Hurst" shifter from the factory.
It was part of the S.C. 364 Super Stock 66 Package. The "Hurst" model was listed, which was C/P ( I guess Competition/Plus).
I think Hemmings Motor News may have the part #'s or more detailed info on the article.
Also, stated that the D-Dart engine (short-block components) were
equipped with selected parts. Probably a visual inspection of the
10.5-1 pistons and connecting rods. Anything with an imperfection was dis-carded. Doesn't say anything about secondary engine component
balancing. Suprisingly not done, even though the specialty engine
building facility was equipped with a new state-of-the-art Stewart-Warner
engine balancing unit.
