Ted & Tina Spehar both told me last summer that tried finding the car unsuccessfully. Tina still has the title in her name to the car.

Yeah....hide in plain sight. Nice pic in National Dragster this week of the car in Larry Morgan's article.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

It has been fifteen to twenty years ago, I was at the US Nats at Indy, at the Adams Mark reunion show buying t - shirts from the late Dick Towers ( matchrace madness shirts ) when up walked Ted Spehar to greet the other fellows standing around, When I asked Mr. Spehar where the Butterfly had gone he told me that the Rod Shop got the car. Now I know that they had many cars and drivers, but I do believe that was the only 64 Dodge they owned. A lot of time has passed since then, thats what I remember, if I am wrong it is because the information was wrong.

Carroll Fink actually had owned the car. I'll have to get in touch with Ted and ask again.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Jason,
Do any photo's exist of your uncle's Dart at 9/69 at Indy.
Or, at the X/SS big meet at York, 8/24/69.
Daryl (Liteweight), Thanks for mentioning on helping. Hopefully, something will turn up. May search in another direction for you. Possibly, Staten Island, New York. Big Mopar race bed their. Have not been able to find any 68' Hemi Cars (originally owned) out of that area. Staten Island Speed was pretty big in that area.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Mark J,
Any information on a Hemi Dart (68' thru 70') sponsored by a
S & S (Auto Parts, or Speed Parts, or Engineering).
Or, lost info or whereabouts of the 'Manhattan Speed & Power", Dart, and whether it was an automatic or 4-speed. Other than that the motor
blew.
The "Deb's Automotive" SS/BA Dart out of Springfield, Mass. area
most likely competed in A/MP, after its brief run in S/S. Those guys were into tunnel-rams and Modified/Production classes before alot of other
northeastern racers.
On that first Charlie Castaldo Dart, (2) specific items. (1) The Cool-Can
was inserted into the fender-well (fabricated cut-out with rubber-ring).
(2) That car had utilized air-shocks (for a short period), and the air-filler inlet was located on the trunk floor, to the right side (passenger side) of the trunk.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

I just talked to Carrol a couple of days ago. He said he drove the 64 with a max wedge and steel front end. He told me he did not know where the car went as Gil Kirk owned it !!!!

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Talked to Rick Johnson about the missing history of the Butterfly. Does anyone know about the ownership between Rod Shop and DeFrank? Rick and Lynn Balek think it spent some time in Louisiana. They also remember the car running in Brainerd in 71 with a max wedge.

Another NE Dart.
