Daryl’s thoughts about the Dart that John posted are pretty accurate. The Dart pictured is the former Hall&Williams 1968 factory Hemi Dart from Cleveland Ohio. Hall&Williams bought it new in 1968 and raced it about four years in SS and later in Pro/S, they installed the 69 grill and tail lights in 70 or 71.
Hall&Williams sold the Dart in 72 or 73 to Bob Porter from Parma Ohio. The pictures that John posted are shortly after Bob purchased the Dart. In those pictures the Dart still has the second Hall&Williams paint job with the purple flake and pearl with purple cobweb trim which was applied by Bobby Nolan (Nolan Brothers) of Cleveland Ohio. Porter later had the Dart painted black with orange and yellow accents. The car was stored away in 75 or 76 and I purchased the car from Bob in 2004. Many thanks to John for posting those pictures I have never seen any pictures of the car during that time period before and thanks Daryl for encouraging me to post the above information.

My new goal on this thread is to not only get the history on my car, but I think it's really important for this sport to be able to get as much information together as possible on every one of these cars. ie; from day one to current. I know there's alot of previous owners & current owners that frequent this thread that don't want to come out into the public eye because of ??????????????, BUT, by participating & getting info out for all to see & read will have nothing but positive results for not only today, but, for the future of this sport/hobby. There's ALOT of hear say, & inuendoes that is attached to many of these cars. I would like to see as much factual information put together as possible. There's ALOT of people that can share ALOT of very cool information that will benefit us ALL, along with making for some REALLY GOOD reading material. II know we would all welcome old racing stories etc. Bring it on!!!! So, now I'll step down off my podium, hopefully I've had some influence on you all to come forward. It's win, win!!!!. Both for the history of these very special war horses & with that keeping the value where they should be & not turn into what the Model A prices are today because of a lost generation of interest. Have a great Easter weekend liteweight ![]() Last edited by Liteweight; 04-17-2014 at 04:03 PM. |

Never could have foreseen this topic becoming the historic reference that it has. (609,000 hits)
You are correct Daryl in that REAL information from owners /crew/ family past and present would add credibility and value. I would love to see a picture of the JRT Dart as it is today. Do know that I have enjoyed everyone's pictures/stories and the few bits and pieces that I have been able to add here and there. Got involved (addicted) to this topic all because I was going down memory lane one night and typed "68 Hemi Dart" in the search window on my computer. ![]() Last edited by Charlie A; 04-21-2014 at 08:38 PM. |
