A low # car
#LO23M8B297857,,,,,,,Gene Snow

A high # car

The mystery Charlie Castaldo question.
Charlie Castaldo's first car (4-speed) had a higher VIN # than his
second car, the Tom Crutchfield 'Palmer Dodge' (automatic) car.
The Crutchfield/Palmer Dodge car was built earlier, VIN # wise.

Just what did a 1968 Dodge Dart 426 Hemi and/or 1968 Plymouth Barracuda
426 Hemi weigh before the Super/Stock conversion.

Estimated Weight.

With an Automatic and 8 3/4" Rear ........ #3394 lbs.

With a 4-Speed and Dana Rear .............. #3478 lbs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LO23 'Fun Filled Fact'

Engineer - Bob Tarozzi had to 'whittle off' {-344 lbs.} off the
'Test Mule' to get to the projected weight of #3050 lbs.

Chick Brignolo's car is supposed to be at the Carlisle Auction

Nice try Paul, but not quite correct for Darts or Barracudas.
