That is the Joe Ralph Thompson Dart after being sold to the Teuton family.

So, neither of the two local restoration shops that I trust were able to commit to such a worthy project and give it the attention it deserves until this next late fall/winter. One of them, though, agreed to at least a quick primer/black epoxy job just to keep me happy for the summer, since I didn't really care for the Chromalusion paint job it had, and my son refused to go to the track in it until we had made it "our own" a little. So, now it looks a little more correct, and by next spring it will be painted a 1968 Dodge white color. Now, just waiting for that 604 hemi from Tim Banning...

That's a very cool intake...I had one once that was on Allyn Lee's car , on an engine he built for me. last mag intake he used before they changed the rules and allowed sheet metal intakes. Hundreds of hours in those pieces. Hopefully there's some kind of backfire poppet valve on it. All the pieces can be hard to find and especially hard to weld back together.

I remember when that colour shifting paint first came out. wasn't it 500 a pint?

Talking of intakes, I have a magnesium crossram like that with matching carbs waiting on the shelf if I ever get around to finishing my wanta be hemi dart. Guy I picked it up from said it came from an SS/A car, but then who knows. Anyway cool piece of nostalga. I have a current mopar crossram on my 572 hemi in the Savoy I put together a few years ago and it is definitely taller and wider than the 64-65 versions. Just fits under the hemi hood on my 64,

Thank you. Here is a blurb from an article done on the Keyes hemi cars in Hemmings MuscleMachines 2012 bonus issue. Yes, that House of Kolor Chromalusion paint was/is pretty spendy. Was sort of a shame to strip it.
