So......where did it come from and where did it go???????

dart in question is still in question, but the Mustang (I believe this is the car that Tab Talmadge) campaigned durring the NY street racing wars.

Painted lettering on the front window.

Speed Costs Money ~ How Fast Do You Want To Go ?

Famous for Hot Cars flying down {south} on West Broadway {One-Way street}, right in front of the Speed Shop.

What about the CAR Paul???

I have kept in contact with Lee Quinones, who lives just down the street where Manhattan Speed used to be. He was a starting line "official" @ one time. Today he owns a very sinister black 65 Plymouth & is a very famous artist in the NY area.

I spoke with the owner @ the time of Manhatan speed, Joe Doto, on a couple occasions, & he told me he never had any sponsorship with any hemi dart. So, I'm totally confused with the association of the two. This is why pictures are REALLY important seeing the name on the front fender

Something I came across, might be worth checking out since it states that this business started in 1964.

I thought this was going to be a great lead, sorry. Looks like they're out of business.
