Daily Dart Fix:
My all time favorite Hemi Dart, even if I didn't previously own it. This is the stick car. Notice Dick has a glove on his shiftin hand.
Still own that particular woodgrain steering wheel Dick is hanging onto while rowin' gears. Puts a smile on my face every time I grab onto it in my Dart.

I'm that Canadian that bought it off Steve in 96 from a 2 line ad in National Dragster. Had no idea it was Landy's @ the time. It was just a real beat up looking original LO23 Dart with loads of potential, & was in the price range I was looking for.



This is how it was when I was "convinced" to sell it. Fully documented by a personal visit by da man hisself Dick Landy. Picked him & his very personable wife Jean up @ the airport in my original hemicuda to bring them back to my place 35 miles away. Dick thought that was pretty cool. A VERY special time to be sure.




Notice a few things on it. first off the obvious colors on front fenders. Second, the ground down paint on the door. This was to find the holes Dick drilled for the HEMI emblems he installed from a 68 Charger. Also, check out the holes behind the headlights. dick converted this car to a 69 & the headlight placement is different, so he cut out that area & installed alluminum sheetmetal to fasten the headlight buckets to in the new postions..
Ever since this car I have loved the spinners also. It's this car that made up my mind to install Cragars on my current LO23 complete with spinners. Still have them, but my current wheels are early 70's original Keystone Classics.



A VERY special night after the documentation complete with the finest of prime rib, & a few reallllllly good dark rums


Same car today


My current car with the Cragars in 03 complete with spinners. No engine, trans or interior at this time, thus the 4X4 height

Say Daryl - Might you please share with us some details about how and when you began to suspect that your beat up old Dart was an original Landy race car?

Thanks

OK I'll put something together. But it won't be short. It took almost a year & a half to convince Dick this was his car, phoning him every month, sometimes more with new evidence I was finding..

Here it is with current owner Todd Werner. turn it LOUD!!!!!

The completed car looks drop dead georgous, but I think he should reinstall the HEMI emblems on the doors along with the trunk filler panel. Both telltail trademarks for this car.
