Original hemi dart information

[HEMIDARTDAVE]

"Mister ED" was race ready again from the mid-late '70s until 1993. BTW Paul, great pic, do you have any more?

[Paul Ceasrine]

Dave,

Yes, somewhere in my stash.

I remember when Tony first brought the Hemi Dart to Dover Drag Strip.

Very late-1970........It was classed in SS/A.

Tony was more comfortable with Automatics.

It showed...........He lumbered to 11.10's for awhile.

Thanks Daryl, and thank you Charlie for enlarging the images. The original owner, Ed Knezevich, had a high enough position at United Petroleum Corp. in Columbus, OH to have a personal secretary( Rebecca J. Cottrell), or he owned the company . Does anyone in OH remember United Pet Co ? I could not find it searching on the computer. Mark Janaky may know more about the story concerning someone contacting Mrs. Knezevich to ask her about the car a while ago. They way I understood it, she had no knowledge that her husband owned a "car like that". Ed K. might have had a partner, or just kept the Dart at someone's garage.

That listed posted a couple posts up has issues. Some of those cars aren't even "real" LO23 cars. Some are the same car, different owners; and some are second owners.

[HEMIDARTDAVE]

I'm not sure if these were posted before, but I couldn't help noticing the sticker in the quarter window of one of the Darts.
