Re: Original hemi dart information
 

I was just going by some of the comments and interest as well as the questions posted by other members on here...I guess the next step is to contact Tim again with some follow up questions.

- Who did he sell the car to again, and which state did it go to, was it Ohio.

- Who was it and who did that owner sell it to after he sold it...was it to somewhere out East as seen in the old photos...

- There was even some talk on another website that some guy named Joe owned it and raced it at a couple New Jersey tracks...

- Did he repaint the car Red & Silver or not, or did the previous owner.

- Also wonder who put the Cragar Super Tricks on it...were they swapped out from the 5 spokes or not.

You said in the past that Mark J said the Wildfire '68 Hemi Dart exists...so who currently owns it.

moose the super tricks were on it when my dad got it. the car was also red and silver ,it was stripped and painted white by paul pittman while my dad had it. i was told that al massarino (correct spelling) from ossening ny owned it before or when my dad got it. massarino is supposed to be a cousin of charlie castaldo.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Just suppose someone found an old red and silver Hemi Dart (perhaps WildFire) and removed the graphics, lettered "Charle Castaldo" (forgive the spelling if its incorrect) on the door -- presto-chango, one tribute car. Hmmm. The reason I would even suggest such a thing is that Daryl is sure Charle's cars are accounted for, yet Jimi remembers Charle's name on the door of the car when his father was working it. So for both to be correct it would require a third car that was done up as a representation of a Castaldo car.

I don't know if anyone seen this but in that You-tube video of the Wildfire '68 Hemi Dart, if you read some of the comments left there's a guy that says he has "lots of photos of this car" from back then...maybe worth a shot getting in touch with him thru his You-tube account...maybe he has some close up shots especially of the interior/dash/gauges of the Wildfire Hemi Dart to compare. :confused:

Hey Jim
Today you will see alot of tribute cars out there mostly because the originals are long gone. Back in "the day" I don't think the term had any merit tho.
I have to believe my car was indeed silver & red because there's Lou & Jimmi Vignonia, & Paul Pittman that remember it that way. There can be only so many red & silver original hemi Darts from that era. But it doesn't mean my car was that color in the late 60's or early 70's. It coulda been painted just previous to Vignonia's ownership also, yes?+

On the topic on the LaSalle, Quebec Dart..That was Gene O'Neil's car. When it arrived in the North it was still lettered with Gene's name on the car. At that time we had already purchased Gene's '65 car from Ed Miller and were running it in B/MP

Now you can. Open up your .pdf file, locate the image you want to copy, right click on the screen and choose Select Tool from the menu. Draw a rectangle or square around the image you want to copy. Once you do that, right click on the selected image, then left click on Copy Image that now appears.

Open Microsoft's Paint program or any other image editing software you have installed on your computer. Using Paint program as an example since it is installed on all Windows-based operating systems, open the program, go to the menu bar at the top of the page, click on Edit; a menu will drop down; choose Paste, and viola, the image you have copied from the .pdf file now appears on the screen.

All that is left for you is to save it. Click File on the menu bar, then select Save As from the drop down menu; name the file, select .jpeg (MS's Paint program saves image as .bmp file by default) by clicking on the arrow to the right of Save as type. All done a lot quicker than it took for me to collect my thoughts, type-up and edit my explaination to you. :)
