I've been on stage throwing out bids knowing I wont win just for the hell of it with my buddies. All that free liquor does have some influence after awhile, don't ya know!

What I see here are a few D-Dart owners hoping to make an ugly duckling popular; something that even mopar couldn't do 40+ years ago. Of course that would help the bottom line. If you really love 'em, go out and race 'em as they were intended. Has anybody contacted mopar to get the cars possibly accepted in Stock with an HP reduction to boot? Same with SS as the cars were intended. Have any of these interested parties petitioned for a HP reduction with NHRA or is it just bantering on the net? If not, get it together, it looks like a no-brainier to me.

Not trying to make an ugly duckling popular, just like to see Mopars of historical significance. I guess I'm getting tired of seeing the same old trailor queen/purfumed pig hemo and sixpack cars getting all the attention. My 64 Dart post car garners a lot of attention because its different, Not a numbers matching, one of whatever car. It's something I'm putting together for the nostalgia look. Nothing wrong with being different.
