Joe Roy drove the car at some point . I don't know if Frank Marino did drive it. That car was built by Don Ness Racecraft. It is now in Regina , Sakatchewan , Canada. I have a few more picture , I need to downsize them.

Rather a late response but for some reason I missed this way back when it was posted.

Yes it was a Don Grotheer car. However Don never raced it in Pro Stock. It had a 440 Six Pack in it when Don had it. If I recall it was a B/MP car. I am not sure if Don ever raced it as that. It was a car he took to the Clinics.

This is a Pro Stock Dart owned by my buddy Carroll Morris. We've been trying to figure out who originally raced the car. Carol has traced it back to Gene Holt in Richmond VA. and the trail goes cold. Here is Herb McCandless looking at the car in 2008 at the All Hemi Reunion. The car was built by Don Hardy and was acid dipped with a magnesium Dana. If anybody recognizes the car let us know.

Looks like it has the same hood scoop and wheelie bars as Larry Huff's 'Soapy Sales' pro stocker, but sits much higher. Has it had suspension work done?

Larry Huff's car was built by Dick Landy. Landy bought it back from him when he crashed his personal Dart Sport, and repainted it to his colors. The car is restored as the Landy car.

I didn't realize they were the same car, I knew the car was restored as the Landy Dart. Looking at photos, there is a lot of similarities. Did Landy borrow this Dart after crashing his?
