CLASS RACER FORUM - Original hemi dart information

Does anyone have any other info on this car? where did it use to run? the car i'm thinking of ran at U.S.30, Union Grove wi, ect. was this the only name on this car? Original owners? was it out of Chicago? If it is the same car i remember.

Back in 1987 or 1988 at Eddyville, Iowa (an 1/8th mile track ?) I recall seeing a similar Hemi Dart with the name on the door "Fast Eddie". This car has probably been identified and could possibly be the same car.

Here is a YouTube video that might be helpful. Looks like the same car that I saw back then. Are these the same car ?

Ed Wheeldon of Delta, Iowa. I don't know the history on it, but it is an original.

We've discussed this before. Herb's old car is not Daryl's Dart. Pete M.'s "Manhattan Speed Parts" (not Speed Shop) Dart is. Thanks to Paul Ceasrine (miss ya buddy) for solving the puzzle.

Re: Original hemi dart information

That was not at all what I was implying. If you notice I posted that in a group of Mr. 4 Speed photos. The "Hmmm? " was just wondering what happened to it.
I am well aware of the solution to Daryl's Dart.
Trying to repost some old photos as a lot of the early ones are dropping off.

Just noticed the address on Cam's dart of Jim's Automotive shop in Edmonton was within a block or 2 of where I had my dart striped and lettered up by the uber talented Dunbar. Didn't realize I was so close to sacred Hemi ground in Alberta. All things Hemi in Alberta have ancestory back to Jim Rhonigan one way or the other.

Yes it is. the pic was taken at Mountian Park Dragway, Clay City, Ky. It went from Daily to Frank Madden and is now residing with a Mopar racer in Pa.
