there are a very few left in their original state. The one that comes to mind first is the Lloyd McVey Dart. Anyone else care to add?

Chrysler made 2 separate runs of these cars. The first run was 50, the second run was 30 to complete the orders that kept coming in from the first lot.

Loading for Indy. This is number 50 of first 56 according to my info. Feb 18, 68. Anyway, this car will be used at Indy US Nationals all weekend by MOPAR so check it out. Hemi shootout parade, racers banquet etc. Not too cobbled with original ball peened hammer tubs. Fla. car with Lucy in the Skies with Diamond paint job in late 70's. Like Liteweight, would love to meet early owner. Have records from 1978 until now. See you at Indy.

Frank Spittles old car? Stick or auto?

Care to share a few more pics? It would be great to see some in it's old "war" time paint scheme & colors.

Thankyou for sharing spyphish. Great to see another one here. Congrats on the Exposure specially coming right from Ma Mopar. Very cool!!!!!

your going to have a blast I'm sure. A few pics shared here after the Nats would be very fitting too. Wish I could attend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A stick car was ordered and delivered to Dependable Dodge in Vero Beach Fla. I have been in contact with them and they purged all the old records two years ago. A long time shop hand remembers a car coming in long ago with no paint on it. May or may not be? We are going DMV route as my buddy is State Police car theft dude. It will happen, thanks to this thread.
