That's something I never noticed before. Good eyes. You've convinced me enough to look into the possibility again. The engine compartment picture is of particular interest. 1- is the aformentioned 3 point bar. Yes,my car had that style of bar in it when Hennesey purchased it. 2- the fuel regulator location. My car has those holes in the approximate location repaired. 3- the rear center hood pin. This is something I can't find the repair on my car. I asked Hennesey if he had repaired this area & his response was no. I'll have to double check. 4- Mechanical tach mount. Same as what was in my car with cable going through the defrost vent
The blue & white dart does look it has a 5 point in it. The red & Silver definately has a 3 point. Strange, like you say to remove it to install a 3 point. The first paint was the blue & silver then painted red in 1970. The silver remained. I spoke with the original owner of the WildFire awhile back, Tim Wing.I wrote as much as I could about the conversation, but I can't find it. Time to call him back.

More to follow, after I go through all my emails & info on 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.
