Re: Original hemi dart information
Nonsense. Sort of. We do know it was the Manhattan Speed Parts Dart at one time based on the atypical quarter panel damage and repair work still visible from inside the trunk. We just don't have the name(s) of the guy(s) that owned it!

Re: Original hemi dart information
Have to agree here. That bodywork is hard evidence.

Manhattan Speed Shop. In truth, that 1968 Dart was 'not' sponsored by the Speed Shop. There was lettering of the front fender 'Manhattan Speed Shop', but > Al Ripolla of the Bronx stated that it was 'lettered' because they received some parts at a discounted price in 1968. There were a few cars in Manhattan, the Bronx and on the other side of Hudson River in New Jersey that bought parts from Manhattan Speed, and lettered their cars for getting a deal on parts. |

I was back on the phone again this past weekend, following up on some possible leads from the east coast, NY area taxing some peoples memories. I tried the Manhattan Speed, Charlie Castaldo 3rd Dart, & silver Hemi Dart avenues. No luck on any. currently looking for a Pete Pearson? I believe from the NY area originally. He is supposed to have a boat charter ?. Anyone here know dis guy? Could be Conneticut also? Paul, who is Al Ripolla? liteweight Last edited by Liteweight; 12-08-2014 at 11:05 AM. |

Re: Original hemi dart information
Charlie, you probably know your post of the Jack Thomas car 4 up that the orange dart in this last post are the same car. Owned by Race Hemi historian Dick Towers at the time this pic was taken alongside our dart. Geoff Stunkard photo. Dick always got a kick out of the fact our two cars are consecutive VIN/assembly #s. Miss that guy.
