That listed posted a couple posts up has issues. Some of those cars aren't even "real" LO23 cars. Some are the same car, different owners; and some are second owners.

I'm not sure if these were posted before, but I couldn't help noticing the sticker in the quarter window of one of the Darts.

Doesn't the black Dart, with the red, and yellow stripes (which I guess is the Mr. Ed car), belong to a fellow named Norm?. I should remember his last name, but he was out at Carlisle in 1993 with the car. I'm sorry I don't remember Norms' last name, but does he still own it?

Norbert Knorr did own the "Mister ED" Dart and recently sold it to me. After buying it in the mid 1970s, he painted it black with the red/yellow stripes, raced it, and did bring it to Carlisle in '93. Norbert worked for Hurst and Creative Industries and is a first class guy and painter.

That is the Joe Ralph Thompson Dart after it went to Louisiana and became property of the Teuton family.

HemiDartDave,
Norbert always seemed to be a nice guy the few times I talked to him.
Congratulations on buying the Dart - it looks really great.

Thanks Dan, Norbert and I plan on keeping in touch, and I'm sure I'll have more questions for him down the road. Right now, I'm trying to find the parts to change it back to a 4 speed. The pedals, trans hump in the floorboard, and the ball is still attached to the frame to accept the cross shaft.....so I need an A-Body Hemi 4 speed, shifter, cross shaft, fork, blow proof bell housing and flywheel.

Maybe somebody (you?) could clean up the list make it a solid reference work for future use?

I know we need a list with VIN's to really solve the mystery....something, evidently, no one has.

Steve,

It only took me about 3-years to compile that list, as nobody else had.

Maybe you could add the finishing touches.........

Go ahead, 'Mr. Helper'
