Here's an update on this Dart acquired from Erik Carlson at the Byron Dragway Facebook page. According to Tim Ryherd, current owner of Lee Smith's Car Shop business, the Dart pictured was owned by Lee Smith. Larry Griffith drove the car for Lee at this 1974 Byron Dragway points meet, and the HEMI engine in the car was Larry's. Does anyone know whether or not this car was a genuine LO29, or if it is accounted for today?
