Original hemi dart information

[rhinodaert]

Since this is the best thread on the internet I thought I would put out to the world that I too am working on a book through Cartech Books on the restoration of Dodge and Plymouth A-Body's. I signed the contract a couple weeks ago and my life is now over as I knew it! What was I thinking...


On a side note, I gathered most of the pieces for a Hemi A-Body 4-speed set-up including the original STEEL bellhousing and bottom cover, 72 Hustle Stuff A-Body 18 spline 4-speed trans, shifter and linkage including a used reverse lock-out, and a few other parts that will be for sale soon. When I got the Shipley Hemi Dart it had the floor pan cut-out and a frame mount for the ball so I assumed it was a 4-speed. Jack Arnew told me it was an automatic car, so it must be done that way, thus the 4-speed stuff needs to go if anyone here is interested.

Sounds nasty. I wish I could post it here, but when I tried before, it was too large.. (the video).

A nice shot of the S&K Speed Dart at a New York Custom Auto Show can be found on Bob Snyder's Drag Photos Collection on smugmug (page 5). Check it out...

Just started writing it, book due out Spring 2016. Would love to add a color picture of my Hemi Dart in the book, someone somewhere must have one! At least my car is known, don't have to search like Daryl did, LOL! Just not many pictures out there, I think I have all that are known!?!

That photo is the only color shot I could ever find on the net. Only a couple of black/white shots too.


As cool as that car was/is, like you I am sure there are other pictures out there.........somewhere.

I've been spending a lot of time on different facebook pages searching for pics of LO & BO cars, specifically for mine, but I've been searching for yours also Jim. So, far nothin', & I've looked at literally thousands of them.
Even been checking the background of the pics. That's how I found the "missing link" photo of my car. The one with the dent. That one wasn't on facebook tho.

Any interest in Chrysler manual trans with liberty gears? Input is gone but main cluster has front gear welded on it to alter first gear ratio I believe. Steel case with I think aluminum tail housing. Can send picture if interested. A fair price will get it because shipping such a heavy thing from AZ will cost Jeff
