You're welcome. That's the only one I have.

Thanks for reminding me that I need to get a hold of Butch with the Run-A-Gate Dart, no one has seen that car in decades and he needs to get it back out!

Since it was recently mentioned again, it sounds as though you know where this one is.

Just to kick an old can down the road again( we looked at this way back when ) this story mentions this west coast Dart had "brushed a wall" at some point.
It and a pile of parts was sold and was taken back to Atlanta area and repaired.
Did it ever get identified as to whose it was originally and where else it had been?

I have been meaning to dig up the pics that I have of the Run-A-Gate Dart from the Lockport show in 1987 and a show at Midlothian Dodge. Butch still owns the car and it was the first 4-speed that I can remember seeing live.

It would be GREAT if you can post up some new / old photos. And if you can get any updated pictures ( since you know where it is hiding) would be even cooler.
Everyone here is looking for LO 23 Hemi Dart history. Daryl's search about his Dart has turned into a worldwide automotive historical topic.
Thanks for any info you can contribute!

Pretty cool😎
