I've known of Dave for MANY years. Met him once. He autographed my trunk lid in 08. Great, Great guy.
Thanx for the contact info.

I think the guy that Dave Koeffel is talking about is me - I scanned a bunch of photos from his wife Suzi's scrapbook at a gathering some time back. I occasionally contact Dave when I have some questions. I was recently forwarded a picture of a Hemi Dart at New England Dragway that I cannot identify. I have heard the name before but I thought that I would put this out there to see if anyone remembers this one? Daryl, any chance the quarter damage is the same as your Dart? Looks like the name is Ron Preer's

Lite weight you need to check out the name Albert Mocerino he lived in Rockland county and supposedly had a Hemi dart. That is as much as I could come up with right now.

Mark.... You haven't abandoned ship.... Welcome back my friend.
That Dart was posted awhile back & I hadn't seen it before this pic. either. Know nothing of this car. I doubt it's mine tho due to damage. See pics below.
The damage on my car is P Side right above the wheel opening, & it looks to have been caused from being twisted, ie: quarter not reattached properly to outer wheel tub after Hurst cut the opening. Hennesey confirms my suspictions in one of our conversations back when, telling me he had to have the car straightened on a frame jig when he got it.
The drivers side quarter & door are undamaged. Pic is not that great, but therre isn't any repair work done on the outside or inside of the DS quarter or door, even today.

Thanx for that Jimi.
I seem to recall the name Al brought up before associated with my car. Is this the guy your dad purchased it from?? or???
Is Mt. Kisco in Rockland County?

edit: just googled it. Mt. Kisco is across the river.

according to ken al is the last owner before my dad / uncle and he is supposed to be relation to castaldo. this is only passed on info so I am taking it with a grain of salt like all the other stuff so far.

[Liteweight]

Albert Mocerino
Al Moserino
Al Mosserino
Al Moscerino
Al Moscirino
Al Moscirino

all been googled with no results ,cept for Joseph Albert Mocerino who passed in 2010
There was a Albert Mocerino in a 1940 Census. He was 46 at the time.

If I remember my conversation with Ken correctly, I thought Ken was a relative to Castaldo also???. So, reading between the lines, am I correct to assume that Ken & Al are related???? or is it through marriage?????. or????
Dammnnnnn.... this is confusing
