I have to go through my records. Either Jack or Ken was rolled by
Dean Nicopolis 1967 Plymouth R/O Hemi car.
I thought it was before Indy and even the June Springnationals at
E-Town.
Because whoever had it, got a brand new car from the factory.
The article stated it was only 3 weeks old.
That car was an automatic. The second car was a 4-speed.

Why does 'Knopf Plymouth' stick in my mind??

M68,
Damn near every right side (passenger side) shock tower of those cars
looks different. Too many different 'Ball-Peen' hammers.

R/T,
I could get in trouble. On the BO-29 Cuda's serial #'s.
#126 went to Wilkes Motor Sales, Zainesville, Ohio
#127 went to Myl Chrysler-Plymouth, Coraoplis, Pennsylvania
As far as I know, both of these cars were delivered to the dealers.
Tom Myl raced his for a short time.
Wilkes sold their car to Arlon Vanke, his second Cuda car.

R/T,

If you look at the purple Cuda. That is a Plymouth color.
My mind is a blank on this.
But what Mopar factory-racer utilized that color.
That might help determine its origin.

Paul, Daryl, and others...You guys know that Steve O'Neill is still looking for the whereabouts of his uncle Gene O'Neill's '68 Hemi Dart (Gene's Speed Shop) that was in the Worcester, Mass area and campaigned on the eastern seaboard NHRA tracks and in Canada for only a couple yrs. when new. Steve has found (in Quebec) and restored Gene's earlier '65 Coronet A990 Hemi to flawless original race condition (Flintstone Charger car). Steve would really like to find uncle Gene's Dart.... Anyone? Thanks. WJ:)

As far as I know, Hurst installed the factory length Dana's that were to go into B Bodys, Runners, Cornets, etc. That's why they used those goofy offset rear rims. This is the first I heard of a shortage, but I've been wrong before,---just not today yet!!!
There was a shortage on the glass fenders on the later cars I believe, & when they came available again, they came in blue gel coat.
As far as the modified steering arms,, the only car I've seen with them is the Joe Jill Speedwin Automotive car. When I purchased the Landy 4 spd. car from Steve O'Neil in 96, there was a new set of these things in the trunk, but not on the car. Not sure how many were actually installed by Hurst, before they let the cars go. I thought these were an after thought because of the poor steering geometry due to the K members being spaced 1/2". Only those "in the know" got them. ------- Any Input??????
