I just can't find the connection to Castaldo. Believe me, I've tried, MANY different avenues, including speaking with Castaldo's crew members on several occassions. End result---There was no third Dart that he was campaigning, or, there was no back up car. NONE!!! As far as the doors go, the stick car doors were damaged way past being able to be repaired after Charlie put that car on it's roof @ E town in 69. They were scrapped with the rest of the car after it was stripped of usable parts. The auto car has it's original doors on it today. There is NO ONE that wants to fiqure out this connection to Castaldo more than me, but I just can't connect the dots. I have followed almost every possible lead, speaking with dozens of people about my car, but so far I'm not any closer than I was 3 years ago when I started this thread. If nothing else, I've been able to fiqure out which cars it's NOT now, &, the list of possibilities is getting smaller. I'm not giving up........... I think it's going to be one of those; being in the right place @ the right time scenarios where someone will bring up a statement about a car their buddy knew about, or someone who had an uncle............... etc, etc, etc. liteweight |

Yes it has, probably around 10 years ago. At the time of this picture, it was owned by Steve Atwell. I believe he sold it to Todd Werner in 07 or 08. Not sure where it is today. liteweight http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/...IMG_0006-1.jpg |

Re: Original hemi dart information
Hard to believe I've followed this thread for 3 years and no answer to the original question.
Have you ever gotten the race programs that match your car? I remember reading about bracket finals sticker? you had on it from 77 I think. Chris |

Re: Original hemi dart information
This is the decal that was on my car when Lou Vignona owned it in the early 80's
http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/...acingdecal.jpg This is the program that was available for that race held @ York US 30. I have only a picture of that program. I haven't been able to find an actual one yet. I think locating one of these would be key, as the drivers are probably listed in it. I keep my eye out for one, but so far no luck. If anyone has one or sees one advertised somewhere, PLEASE let me know. I'd even be happy with a copy of it. . http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/...psf3ac93e8.jpg Like M68 said, you probably had to qualify to be able to race @ this meet. You couldn't just show up, so my car must of frequented some local tracks on a consistant basis to be able to race at this one. For some reason, it's been overlooked & nobody took notice of it???? Maybe, because it wasn't a SS class car @ the time??? It always had the hemi in it, because Lou purchased the car turn key. He pulled the drivetrain, kept the motor for himself, & the trans landed in the trunk. And that's how Tim Hennessey purchased it. Funny thing, I ran the numbers on the trans a while back, & it decodes to a 1968 SS Hemi only trans. Quite possbly the original trans that my car was born with in 68. Can't say for sure, because none of these cars had the drivetrains serial numbered to the car liteweight |
