'66 Dodge D-Dart at Mecum auction

Ken,
The D-Dart would have been classed in F/S at the 68' Winternationals
(10.50 - 10.99 wt/hp). Yes the 340 was factory rated at 275, but NHRA re-factored it to 300. The 68' 340 Cuda's were classed in E/S.
Jim McFarland won E/SA with a 68' Cuda prepped by Sox & Martin, and was Runner-Up in Stock Eliminator. F/Stock cars out there were running 12.70's to 12.90's. Not sure if anyone ran a 66' 273/275HP D-Dart out there, or at the 68' Springnationals in June. Too little cubes to match up with the 67' 390 Comet Cyclones/Fairlane GT's.
