Then it disappeared, and Dover closed in May 76'.
4 years later, I'm selling automotive engine rebuilding equipment, and
I end up in Pomona. The owner (Vic) in a 2-bay garage with a small parts store in his office wants to buy tooling for his Winona valve guide/seat machine. One thing leads to another, and there it was, on the side of his garage, the Hemi Dart. Not for Sale, and sitting for almost 4 years, (only occasionally street-raced in Nyack, NY and North Jersey)
machine.

Do you have any more info that you can share with me about Vic??. Maybe a last name,phone number or last known location??? You can PM me if you wish. This looks like a promising trail to follow for sure.
Haven't recieved your pix yet that you sent me in the mail yet,but it usually takes awhile to get stuff up here to Canada. I'll let you know
