Re: Original hemi dart information
Mopar Steve, I saw the Butterfly race several times in the fall of 69. At Indy Us Nats and at the Drag News Open @ Columbus were Vanke set
the SS/C record with his 65 car while Grumpy sat in the stands just a week or so before the finals at Dallas. I Think. Its all a blur. |

Re: Original hemi dart information
Question? Where is the Butterfly now. Question? Could this car be the same car raced by the Fink Brothers / Rod Shop, Then DeFrank and Cohen, now Rick Johnson. A few changes , motor, fenders, hood and grill would do it. I sure would like to know for certain. Anybody got pictures of Ray Wilkes 65 Dodge Hemi car.

Re: Original Hemi Dart Information
Thought I would post an update on my quest to find the history of my car,since it's been awhile . I have been in doing alot of emailing back & forth with Jimi Vignogna, Lou's son, in regards to getting past the stigma of my car being being either one of Charlie Castaldo's Darts. Well, after showing him MANY pictures, & comparing them to the mods. that have not been done to my car,I can finally say,that Jimi & I are on the same page.He believes that 100% my car can't be a Castaldo car. Now, with that behind me, I can continue forward. Jimi says he's got a bunch of pictures of my car when his dad purchased it in the early 80's.I can only hope he can find those!!! Jimi, any luck yet??? It would make this a whole bunch easier!!! Paul Ceasrine & Mark Janaky have been a wealth of information on this also,& sure is appreciated. Anything new with you guys??.
I'll keep you posted as I get more. Liteweight Daryl |
