Original hemi dart information

[troublemaker427]

I took this shot of the older Comella paint scheme at the Mopar Nats in 1989 or 1990 at National Trail. I think this was one of the first SS/AA stand alone shootouts ever away from a NHRA event.

This is one. Chuck Comella
This is the paint scheme he had in the 90's





He lost his brakes & put the car into the safety net @ the Dutch Classic last year. It didn't have the original fiberglass nose on it & I hear it's repaired ready for battle once again.

I saw the car recently and have to go back there soon, I can't recall if I took a pic or not, I will see when I get back from vacation.

That's all well and good.
If they sell cameras in Kansas will the current owner (or any brave spy) please post a picture of how it looks today.

Sorry. It's an obsession.

Translation please:

Seems to have slowed down here.

I suppose everyone is racing or wrenching.

Still need to solve the greatest mystery of the Nostalgia Forums, the Dart from the Dark.

Thank you.
Been spoken to in that language before. It was probably good that I did not understand. lol

Is anyone E-V-E-R going to rescue Liteweight from the pain and misery of the unknown life and times of his Hemi Dart?

There has been so much history here.

It is just crazy that the one clue that could start the dominos falling has not been revealed !

Has to be something missing or overlooked.

Sometimes the obvious is right in front of me, and I just cannot see it.

"You can't see the forrest because of the trees" sort of thing.
