There are several ways. The easiest is to just upload at the bottom of your reponse in the "attach files". Use this to select where the picture is coming from on your computer files.
They will be included with your message. They will be small but we can take it from there. We have a resident photo enhancement specialist by the name of Charlie that will enlarge your pictures.

Very nice Vali. What is the history on this car. Is it the THT Dart by chance?

One thing I never found an answer for definitely, did the Hemi A-Body's have horns installed? Any pictures of that area of the core support around?

I have seen a pic of an original BO29 engine compartment taken in 68 and it had a horn ,but was mounted on the front side on the rad support not the engine comparment side , the car had a cool can added so they would have relocated the horn on the outside , they must have had to have the horn for rules otherwise they probably wouldnt have relocated it back on .

tbenvie 10-18-2016 01:27 PM

Re: Original hemi dart information
 
If it helps at all, the 69 Super Stock AMXs had one horn removed and one remained.


Still hunting for any and all 1969 Hurst Super Stock AMX info

Just a ‘Head’s Up’ Gents…

I know the primary objective of this thread is to help ‘Liteweight’ find the history of his LO23, and that this is not staying ‘on-topic’… but as a fellow Hemi freak, Mopar fanatic, and lover of these machines… I thought y’all might like to put this on your calander.

The Mecum Kissimmee 2017 Auction (January 6th-15th)… is slated to feature the following vintage Hemi drag cars crossing the block:

1963 Dodge 330 Lightweight… (Wain Pearce)
1964 Dodge 330 Lightweight… 'Hemi-Honker' (Bud Faubel)
1964 Plymouth Hemi Savoy Lightweight… ‘Virginian II’ (Pee Wee Wallace)
1965 Dodge Hemi Coronet A990 Super Stock… ‘N Harm’s Way’ (Harmon Friend)
1965 Plymouth Belvedere A990 Lightweight… (Miller & Guenther)
1965 Plymouth Belvedere A/FX… ‘Haulin’ Hemi II’ (Lee Smith)
1967 Dodge Hemi Coronet Super Stock… ‘Barnett Bros.’ (Arlen Vanke)
1967 Dodge Hemi Coronet Super Stock… ‘California Flash’ (Butch Leal)
1968 Dodge Hemi Dart Super Stock… (Bob Lambeck)

You can read a bit more about each of these cars by going to the following link…
https://www.mecum.com/auctions/kissimmee-2017/lots/featured/

Gonna be some sweet iron rolling across the stage…

Anyhow… good luck with the search Daryl.

Wow, what an opportunity for new caretakers/sitters!
Lee Smith asked me at AHR 08 if I wanted to sit in the Haulin Hemi...damn cool to sit in the real deal awb on the invite of the original pilot/owner. Incredible car, great guy.
Whole lineup 4 sale is unbelievable... LottoMax don't fail me now ( that's Canuck for Powerball, kind of. )

There are quite a few things that can be taken as very interesting in this one photo if you are looking.
Including the yellow warranty disclamer decals on windshield and quarter glass.
The inner wheel wells and rad cradle not painted black but looks like firewall is
The fender tab for splash pan attachment
And windshield wipers
