[QUOTE=Hemi Moose;349625]Liteweight, I got a question for you, do you think that there is a possibility that there were 'two' 68 Hemi Darts called Wildfire? I ask this because I recall someone here having a old conversation with you about that car posted earlier in this thread, they either owned it or once knew of it or something like that, but I don't recall all the facts that they stated about it...Anyway my question is did you ever notice the blue & white Wildfire Hemi Dart had a full loop 5 point roll cage in it, and the red & silver Hemi Dart looks like it had a three point roll bar in it...didn't Hennessey say it had a three point roll bar originally, and the guy that stripped the paint on your Hemi Dart thought the car was Red & Silver...so who ever owned this '68 Hemi Dart then, why would they switch back to three point roll bar after repainting the car, does that make any sense to anyone? Here are some old before & after shots of the Wildfire L023 Hemi Dart...maybe it's just the angle of the photo in the last pic, and it's not showing all of the 5 points of the roll cage...but it sure looks like a three point roll bar to me.

I'll chime in again here, with more questions than answers, but here goes --- Daryl got these photos from Tim Wing one of the first owners of Wildfire. I never personally saw the Blue and White paint job since I started work there in 1969. But Hemi Moose has raised a valid question, why the rollbar change? Also the wheels on the car were not on it as I remember it, they ran steel wheels in 1969 and later photos show Cragar's on the car. I know that paint and wheels can (and were) changed rather simply but I think there is more to the story. I believe there were 2 Darts called Wildfire, somewhere there is a photo of one with Wildfire lettered on the front fender which is a totally different car than the one from Town and Country Dodge.
