Default Re: Original hemi dart information

Daryl (Part V)...............Jack, more info on your Dover visit later
Talked to my father on the N. White Plains Dart,
When they picked up the car, the nose was off. The car was in a
co-op garage?? Both engines were complete, sitting next to the car.
The owner wanted more $$ for the cross-ram and carb set-up, which he passed on. He wasn't interested in the Hemi, and wasn't concerned with
the authenticity of the car, he just wanted an A-Body bracket car, for a
440.
My father and his friend had to rig the front fenders to the car with only a handful of bolts. And the hood was rigged with wire to the body pins, by his friend, to hold it down, before loading it on the trailer, to transport it home to Mahopac (40 minutes away).
