Re: Original hemi dart information
Congrats Dave!!!!! Great to hear your putting pieces of the puzzle together
Not so much on my end. I spoke with the originating owner of Manhatten Speed Shop today. He told me they never owned or sponsored any Hemi Dart, Just another chapter in this car I don't understand. The car in the picture I'm convinced 99.9% as being the same as the one in my shop due to that dent. I'm just not getting it. Why has the car in pictures been tied with Manhatten Speed? I'm emailing Joe these pictures to see what he has to say? liteweight

Re: Original hemi dart information
Hey, I just noticed something in the bottom photo caption! It says Manhattan Speed Parts Dart and not Manhattan Speed Shop Dart.
The mystery continues... Perhaps Ed Miller (still) remembers who the guy(s) he raced against were? Is he still around? Based on that atypical dent in the quarter panel same as on your car at one time, one can only logically conclude that the Manhattan Speed Parts Hemi Dart is your car. It has to be! M68 Quote:

Re: Original hemi dart information
Spoke with Ed Miller, he does not remember anything about this Dart.
Good eye on Speed Parts rather than Speed Shop. Anyone ever hear of Pomona Speed Shop in NY? liteweight |

Re: Original hemi dart information
You know, what might solve this mystery is if there exists an entry list for the 1968 Super Stock & Drag Illustrated Magazine-sponsored Super Stock Nationals.

Re: Original hemi dart information
I know this is a stretch but perhaps Bob Snyder, funnycar aficionado that he is, the guy who was there that day and took the photograph, by some slim chance, knows about or remembers the name(s) associated with the unlettered silver 1968 Hemi Dart with atypical dent in its quarter panel? I say it's worth a shot.
