Re: Original hemi dart information
We trap at 161 plus MPH weighing 3200 lbs using top of the line Lamb components and a parachute if need be. If you could make it to Indy next month to look over the safety improvements made on these cars, would be a worthy trip. Mines the blue one that never wins a round...........Phish

In case I haven't mentioned it before, I am not interested in being competitive with e.t.s. I just want the thrill of drag racing an original LO23, albeit with a bit more horsepower than they had in '68 (since I was going to build an alternate engine for the car, anyway). My engine is being built more for moderate racing and durability, rather than to be setting records, and I am only going to run it down our local drag strip for exhibition/ test & tune style runs... but still figure it should run in the low 9s at the least... |

Re: Original hemi dart information
Just got pictures from Don Shipley, Richard Shipley's son who was the first owner of my car and I plan on painting it back to the original paint scheme. These will help a BUNCH!

Re: Original hemi dart information
Another pic. I displayed it at Carlisle last weekend and got lots of leads, one was a guy who knew Richard and called me yesterday with his phone number, talked with Don today. I can't wait to get it painted and gold leafed!
