I believe that this may be totaled out remains of the Dart mentioned.

That maybe began as this one?

that is the one, I worked with a guy years ago who wrenched on the car for Bob Hodge but until today I did not know that it was the same one that Lynwood had. Lynwood also drove the Skarbeck Cuda some before he purchased the Dart. His partner in the Dart was named Bishop and is still alive but has Alzheimer's.

Wish we could connect all the dots for Daryl and his LO23.
The search for his car's past has evolved into this historical report of almost every Dart EXCEPT his.

Does anybody know anything about this wrecked Dart? I saw this on the HAMB forum awhile back.

Charlie,

When I got home last night and was reading the newspaper I saw that Bob Hodge died Tuesday. He was 80 years old and a retired machinist.

Sad news. But those of us that lived those days are all "seniors" by most definitions.
Cool thing is we lived what others are studying!
