?..What ever became of the orig. class of " 83 ",68 SK Dart , It was re-painted black ,I remember ,and was street-raced during late 69- early 70's. ,by (Ron / John Lyle) out of Brookyln ,AKA, "Mutt Bros." ,in and around Conduit Boulevard, JFK, and some streets in Jersey..also @ Wendsday(s) ,Raceway Park,@ big money "street" nights..I was a t-shirted, 20 yo wide eyed kid.., at a diner in JFK one SAT.night , I recall Carmen Rotunda was there with one of Brooklyn "Heavys" car,(I think a ex-S&M Cuda).I never saw that much ca$h handled ever..even at my bank.. Lyle won. Re-match ended when 5-0 showed up w/ pistols drawn.

Funny part looking back.now...how 140 + mph tin cans handled a 70's NY street w/o much drama and how a large , quite unsavory and disparite race and age group assembled ..yet,seemed to engage and bet big ,and I mean BIG $$, w/o nary an issue.
Not so today..ever.
