Hello Paul,remember story that Gene O'Neill's Dart came from So. Conn. dealer that had an elevator in storage building,car was in basement ,can confirm with a friend that I think may have been present with Gene when car picked up.Too bad Bill Flynn not with us anymore,he would know, according to Gene,Flynn helped him locate Dart which was one of the last ones still available.

Gene O'Neill's car may have been shipped to either Fisher-Lowe Dodge in West Hartford or Norwalk Dodge in Norwalk, CT.
The ground-mole investigator has some Hurst-Campbell Corp. shipping information that he his digging up. Bill of Lading stuff that he supposedly got from a Hurst-Campbell shipping clerk that went on to become a
supervisor for Anchor Freight (car shipping company).
As for Bill Flynn getting involved with locating a car for Gene. That does
sound correct, but doubtful whether (2) Hemi Darts were shipped to the same dealership. Even Sox & Martin couldn't get a second car right away.
Researching Chorches Motors out of Manchester, CT. They were involved with some Drag Racing sponsorships in 65', and may have had
a hand in something.
