Original hemi dart information

[Charlie A]

Article I found says Frank Spittle bought it from C.K.Spurlock and indicated it was the former "Nix" car. You probably know that much already.

I think that's the FX car. I will know more after Indy as all these guys are coming for 50 year Hemi deal at US Nats.

Yep...old age brain fade. This would be the Jimmy Nix car mentioned:



It is a shame Daryl and his Dart can't be at Indy with all of you.
With all that knowledge present SOMEONE would have to know something about the history of his LO 23.

"Envious" is my word.

You guys have a GREAT time and someone post some pictures here when you can.

VERY ENVIOUS are my words also Charlie.
This thread I believe has helped a few people with pictures & information on their LO23's. Altho, not why I started it, but I am glad it has helped. It's also been a wealth of very kewl information & pictures for all of us. I know I've learned alot from shared info from many people. Thankyou to all!!!!

Now if I could only have some luck..........

I think I'm going to put some decals on the doors soon that say "Unknown Soldier" soon if this keeps up.

For those heading to Indy this week. Have a great, great time, & pass along some info or questions about my old war horse.

Thanx

In late 1968,

The Dart was lettered with 'Manhattan Speed Shop' on the front fender when it raced at Englishtown in October 1968.

Thanks, Paul. Someone has to have photo(s) of it. If memory serves me correct, Sal Marino was the track photographer at Madison Township Raceway Park back then. Perhaps The Local Brush lettered the car? Doesn't hurt to try and contact him.

I did some checking...

and yes, indeed, Sal Marino was the track photographer at Raceway Park back then. He was from Staten Island. A few years ago I tried to get the late Bob Plumer to contact him, you know, one professional photographer to another, in an attempt to get him to share his archives (if he still had his negatives and/or slides) with our Yahoo StockSSDragRacing group. I don't believe Bob Plumer was able to make any contact. I forget the name of his photography business but that's how I was able to give the info to Bob.
