Original hemi dart information

[Paul Ceasrine]

Hemi D 68,

Regarding the Preston Honea / Ray Rixman SS/BA Dart.

Kwik-Way Speed Engineering (out of St. Louis, Missouri) did the
prep work on that car.

In 1968, it ran primarily in AHRA {S/S Eliminator) Events.

Lost to Herb McAndless at the AHRA World Finals at Kansas City
International Raceway in October 1968.

Jim, can you help me out here???
Mark Janaky has been collecting information on these cars also,& has a collection of the most pictures I've ever seen. He's also been working on a book. Mark, care for an update?? Haven't seen you frequent this thread for awhile. Care for a visit??

I'm in the middle of a thrash trying to get my car back together for Mopars in the Park in Farmington, Mn. June1-2. It's Sox & Martin's 50th Anniversery with 20 of their original cars being on display. Never before has this happened.

Not sure why you are showing me hostility. You asked a question, and got your answer. All I did was quote the larger photo. I did not mean to offend anyone.

I will go back to lurking and keep my info to myself from now on.

When something like this, pops up out of no where, it makes me think that the mystery of Daryl's car may yet be solved!
Thanks Again,
Dan

there are a few really good pages/groups on Facebook too, i think some members here also post in some of them. very cool to see some of the pics and information that gets posted there. i think the image i posted came from the Stock/Superstock/Modified Doorslammers group and i caught it paging through pics, not sure who originally posted it there. i hadn't seen it before and liked the paint scheme alot. i realized later that i had the other picture of the car saved from some time ago and i think the different paint schemes are interesting, reminded me a bit of the Hustlin Hemi car.

Dave,
Something interesting I noticed is the car has been converted to a '69 configuration in the second picture. When I got the car, it was in the '69 configuration, and had really been hacked up, I think to run the Pro Stock circuit in the St. Louis, Mo area.

The Regional Zone book lists a 1968 Hemi Dart (4-Speed) shipped to Western Missouri in May 1968.

And possibly ended up in the hands of Jim Clark Dodge (State Street, Kansas City).

This car has never been accounted for....

The Schild book is available from Mancini Racing, hope it's ok to post a link.

Any info that you can share here is appreciated. I think we have a overload of lurkers already, considering the viewing numbers to this thread, so don't let one comment rub you the wrong way.

Jack
Thanx for the link. I couldn't find it.
