The challenge, as I understand it, is to COMPLETE the book on this Hemi Dart.

This forum has turned into a historical document on these cars.

Because there are some still unaccounted for.......the mystery continues.

Even if this car popped out of nowhere,with no history, the car itself proves exactly what it is.

Where did this SS/B 1968 Dart end up.

Did Arlon Vanke get this Dart, and run it in A/MP in 1969.

Don't have to prove it to me.

Finally figured why I like your Dart so much. It is basic red and reminds me of the JRT Dart. First Hemi Dart I ever saw. Fast is pretty enough. Yours and his.....just sit right with me.

[chris ok]

Didn't the dodge dealer in woodmere new york get one and someone wrecked it?
They are now at east hills chrysler dodge jeep.
Carl the parts mgr. is a bigtime Chrysler guy from the old travelling show and tech days in dealers for mopar fans and racers
I think a cousin of the family ran the racing operation then.
Call Carl in parts. He could maybe help

I really want to know liteweights car pedigree here.
