The guy(s) who purchased Daryl's Dart had to have a previous racing record to qualify them.

Chuck was actually from the Rochester area - not NYC. Chuck did just that - walked into a dealer and bought a S/S Hemi Dart that they had sitting there. I am not sure if the dealer ordered it for another customer and they bailed out or if they just ordered it thinking they could sell it - I do know of a few other Darts that were ordered by the dealer not by a customer - some of these cars sat a while - contrary to popular belief, you could go to the dealer and order one - if your dealer knew about them - most dealers were not performance oriented. You could also buy one from Mr Norms, as they even advertised the cars in Drag News.

I stand corrected. Yes, I've seen Mr. Norm's (really cool) ads in Drag News. Now, where's that time machine? :)

If ya can't get (or afford) a Hemi Dart, this is the next best thing.

Ads from that golden drag racing and supercar era were the coolest ever. But you already know that. :)

Starting on p.68 there is a special Hemi Dart & Cuda section. They claim to have photos of 27 Darts and 26 Cudas taken in 1968 and 1969. On page 73 is the shot of the Manhatten Speed Parts Dart vs the Ed Miller Cuda at New York National Speedway.
Thanx for that Jim
just got a copy from my bud Dave McD.
