Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Maybe somebody (you?) could clean up the list make it a solid reference work for future use?

I know we need a list with VIN's to really solve the mystery....something, evidently, no one has.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Steve,

It only took me about 3-years to compile that list, as nobody else had.

Maybe you could add the finishing touches.........

Go ahead, 'Mr. Helper'

Doesn't the black Dart, with the red, and yellow stripes (which I guess is the Mr. Ed car), belong to a fellow named Norm?. I should remember his last name, but he was out at Carlisle in 1993 with the car. I'm sorry I don't remember Norms' last name, but does he still own it?

Norbert Knorr did own the "Mister ED" Dart and recently sold it to me. After buying it in the mid 1970s, he painted it black with the red/yellow stripes, raced it, and did bring it to Carlisle in '93. Norbert worked for Hurst and Creative Industries and is a first class guy and painter.

That is the Joe Ralph Thompson Dart after it went to Louisiana and became property of the Teuton family.

HemiDartDave,
Norbert always seemed to be a nice guy the few times I talked to him.
Congratulations on buying the Dart - it looks really great.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Thanks Dan, Norbert and I plan on keeping in touch, and I'm sure I'll have more questions for him down the road. Right now, I'm trying to find the parts to change it back to a 4 speed. The pedals, trans hump in the floorboard, and the ball is still attached to the frame to accept the cross shaft.....so I need an A-Body Hemi 4 speed, shifter, cross shaft, fork, blow proof bell housing and flywheel.

lol.

Max Hurley owned three LO23 cars, but was not the original owner of any of them. His first car actually came from Eddie Smith (WV Hemi's), who purchased the car from Mr. Norm's. I believe that car still has the Certi-Card bearing Eddie's name.

Bill Tanner only had an automatic car. I believe he may have briefly ran the car in Pro Stock, which probably is where they 4-speed info came from.

Ken Holwick had a '65 Coronet called "Hemi A Go Go," but no Dart that I know. Holwick was a local guy to where I grew up. I only know of one LO car in that area, and the guy who had it was the third owner around 1971-2. It was the ex-Lendrum car. The Hemi A Go Go Dart was a Chicago area car.

Larry Griffith's hometown is wrong. Livonia, Michigan? Larry was from Illinois and still lives there.

I seem to recall that Gil Clark's car was the Van Dyke Dodge car.

The Chinook Dart and Cam Noseworthy cars are the same car.
There are a few things I see off the top of my head without doing any in depth searching...
