You are correct, this is the JRT dart. I had Joe Smith in Dallas update the roll bar,ladder bars and wheelie bars etc with the intent to race it some. Only difference now in appearance is the wheels and tires. The wheels are black flat no holes Bogarts to kind of give it that original look. It may come back some day.

great Dart, and Buick GS too. 70? I have one.
I have to get back in touch with a friend who was involved in NYC street racing thru the 70's and 80's. He is very knowledgable.
This is such a great thread.

Wonderful to see it in such G-R-E-A-T condition.

I'm 16 again.....well 61.

But you get the point.

You are correct Daryl in that REAL information from owners /crew/ family past and present would add credibility and value.

I would love to see a picture of the JRT Dart as it is today.

Do know that I have enjoyed everyone's pictures/stories and the few bits and pieces that I have been able to add here and there.

All because I was going down memory lane one night and typed "68 Hemi Dart" in the search window on my computer.

Trying to play catchup here in the past few days, since my computer crashed last week. Lost everything I didn't back up. Ya----I know. Currently trying to get my new laptop back up to speed

Charlie, you've been a huge asset in keeping this thread active with your continued support. Thankyou ma'man!!!!

hemi68-Dave, thankyou for the kind words in regards to that article in Muscle Car Review, but the real credit goes to Geoff Stunkard for putting that deal together.
Side bar--- I haven't been able to find a hard copy of that mag yet. Went to over 2 dozen convienience stores, groceries, pharmacies etc over the weekend & so far have come up empty . I personally haven't been keeping up with magazines in the last while, & was shocked at the lack of car related material that is now on those racks

JeffD, Stewart Way--- welcome here,thanx for sharing. Great pics, I haven't seen before

Daryl,
I found the magazine today here in Michigan (at the Meijer store), if you can't find it up there in Manitoba PM me and I'll pick one up and send it along to you.
