Default Re: Original hemi dart information

OK This is the information I have been able to compile on Wild Fire through different sources

-Tim Wing purchased the car new through Town & Country Dodge in Farmington,MI. He picked it up from Chrysler. Car is an auto
-Bob Alton partnered with Tim on it
-First paint was Blue & Silver
-Repainted in 69. Silver was masked over & blue was repainted to red by Findley Jackson
-One of the engines was a Ramcharger built mill
-Sold in 1970? to Jack Schneider from Canton, Ohio. Don't know if this was the owner at the time the video was made of it.
-It then sold again to someone out east to someone that owned a Sunoco Station.Supposidly ran the car out of Cecil County Raceways.
- It then kind of vanishes.

There is rumour that Bruce Meiuls (from Rod Shop Dodge fame) partnered up with Larry Morgan & purchased a red & silver Hemi Dart. It was disassembled.
-Supposidly Carol Fink from Finks Used Cars purchased it & is still owned by him today.

Is it the same car??? I don't know. But I'm pretty sure that Wild Fire is not in my shop. What leads me to believe that??? There is a center hood pin that was installed at the center rear side of the hood. I have looked very close at mine, even on the backside with mirrors, & I can't find any traces of that hole being repaired on my car.
