Default Re: Original hemi dart information

Pete,,,,,,

Great 'photo finds',,,

The Original 'Hemi Hunter' Barracuda,,,,,
Colony Chrysler-Plymouth, Plymouth, Michigan
SS/BA

Not sure if this is the same car Dean Nicopolis (Northville, Michigan)
ran for Gratiot Auto Supply in 1969,,,,,,, 'The Gratiot Auto Supply Special'

Which was later sold to Sox & Martin in late-1970.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I sent you a PM, I thought you meant the Dick Oldfield
'Good Guys' Dart,,,,,,,,,not the 'McCollum & Bolland' Dart,,,,,,

My Bad,,,,,,,,Paul

McCollum & Bolland,,,,,,,,out of Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania (southwestern part of the state).
Don Bolland, had a machine shop 'D & D Competition Engines'.

Photo must be be from late-May or 1st week of June, 1968.
See 11.10 on the Dart window,,,,,,,,,that was the June 1968 SS/BA National Record,
held by Larry Cooper out of West Monroe, Louisianna, with his Hemi Dart 'The Hustler'

Damn near every SS/BA Hemi car could run well under the record,,,,,,,,,,,,
as Mopar controlled who and when could run under it.
