Hows about another Mr. Norms Hemi Dart that is not on the list. Richard Shipley from Baltimore, Maryland that went to Joe DeSantis? It was one of the 13 that went to Norms and he bought it new in June of 1968. Raced by Joe as the Poison Dart.

Sorry for the smallish pics, but here is another one.

Last one for now. Good top pic and bottom one has a Camaro in front with the Dart on a hauler in the background. Joe told me the car was painted red with black spiderwebs and a pygmy on the fender with a dart gun blowing a poison dart.....

[marfen]

Any one recall Lou Mancini having any other Hemi darts besides the famous uncut yellow one?

Lou had 1 Hemi-Dart (real) . Ron had 3 Hemi-Darts 2 clones 1 real. IIRC

On the Finks Used Cars' Super/Gas Dart.
Looks like a mid-70's photo.
Fink's (out of Zainesville, Ohio) picked up many factory
Super/Stock cars from the original owners.
Wonder if that Dart was Mary Ann Foss original 'Go Hummer II".
Zainesville only about an hour away from Bellville, Ohio.
Or possibly, from Dependable Dodge out of Mansfield, Ohio.

I was thinkin on those lines also but no it isn't either of cars listed above.

A picture of Joe Petelle's Hemi Dart from Hampden Dodge, Springfield MA, was sold out west somewhere!

A correction on my post above of how many Darts Ron Mancini owned.He had 2 not 3 . I forgot the 3rd car I was thinking of was Bruce Hawk's. Lou only owned 1.

Mike, I think alot of brain cells have gone away over the years. Ron sold the red and black car and built the body biw car it was yellow and orange. He then built another and also painted it yellow and orange. He sold the first one to Bruce Hawk and he had the other. I went to spring nats with him when both cars were there. Ron ran his in a/mp on that weekend. Mike Dawson also had his ss/aa cuda there that was painted yellow and orange. Jay Montrose had his yellow and orange cuda there running in c/sm. So there was 4 yellow and orange cars there that race. The A/MP car is the one that Ron crashed at Indy latter that year. Jake
Mike now that I think of it I don't think Ron ever drove the car that Bruce got.??????????????
