that's it for sure. Depends on when/where the pic was taken, could've been when it was transitioning from Gene's Speed Shop to Border Jumper when Larry had it. Or like Hemitime said just after Kerr painted it and before it was lettered. Where'd you find the pic Charlie? Very cool, thanks for posting.

Sorry I mean Jerry, thanks for finding it, thx Charlie for making it bigger.

Could also be when car was getting lettering changed from originally being Gene's Auto Racing Equipment to Gene's Speed Shop.I think this makes the most sense? I also remember hearing story of how one of front fenders was burnt with a space heater one winter so maybe that prompted relettering?? I can ask Gene when this happened,he still is pretty sharp for an old buzzard

The picture came from the Vintage Camaro Drag Photos group on Facebook.

Still wondering about that LO23 Dart that sold on Cars-on-line a few weeks ago. Supposedly went to Arizona. Anybody know about the history or who bought that car. Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks in advance.

My father bought it. Dick Hansen drove it. I still have it.

My dad drove to Detroit to pick it up. I still have it. Always stored in heated warehouse. Arguably the most original one left.
