Jason O,
Got photo's of your Uncle's car (Dick Oldfield) at the 1969 (8/10/69)
Super Stock Magazine Nationals at York US 30. With the newer paint job, not the 'Good Guys Hats",,,,Engine must have went bye-bye after that..
RK,
I think the Penn Brothers had something to do with the second ownership of the Sox & Martin 68' Cuda, right after the 70' Winternationals..The only information I could come with, is Sox & Martin won the SS/A class at the
70' Winternationals (Feb 70') 10.44 @ 117.03, which means they were applying the brakes going through the traps...Of course, a couple of those 68' S/S Cuda's with the famous paint scheme were floating around.:cool:

Re: Original hemi dart information
 
RK,
Maybe someone else could make heads-or-tails of the cars you asked about.
I found (3) Sox & Martin car paint schemes.
One with red-base, white hood, blue roof and blue center-stripe.
One with red-base, white hood, blue roof and wider blue center-stripe.
One with red-base, blue hood, blue roof and white center-stripe.
The white center-striped car ran at the 68' NHRA Springnationals, it has the blue-tinted glass with the big round Valvoline decal on the lower portion of the front-fender (behind the wheel well). I believe that is the car that won the SS/B class, but broke during S/S Eliminator.

I have a bunch of pics copied and ready to send - I will stop at the post Office tomorrow morning. All the NE cars you have listed but I forgot to copy the Lendrum Dart pic before I put everything in the envelope. I think that you are right the blocked out silver area on the Castaldo 2nd Dart is where crutchfield's name was.
Jack,
I noticed on your Barracuda and Ed Miller's that you had what appears to be pexiglass over the grille areas - an early attempt at aerodynamics? I am looking for a good pic of Richard Shipley's old "Poison Dart" any suggestions?

Mark J

Joel,
Not positive on where the Lendrum car ended up. I think it was mentioned that it was in Florida...???
I have photo's, but I am saving them for a copulation of photo's, to be released at a later date. Sorry.
I'll send a private message, explaining. General info; Charlie based out of the Albany area of New York..SS/BA,,SS/AA car, then into Pro/Stock
with the 69' grille and Super Bee rear spoiler for 71'.

LOL!

Paul, I think the word you were looking for is "compilation." ;)

Re: Original hemi dart information
 
Mopar Steve and Brett,
mi' scusi'
I feel like Billy Crystal in 'Analyze This', trying to pronounce 'Conciliare'
I think I was trying to say 'compilare'.
Of course, if you saw one of my photo's of a Hemi Dart wedged into the back-end of a 70' Camaro,, you would say copulation.
Almost looks like the Aerosmith cover of their album 'Pump'.
Paul,,,I slipped on the dictionary 'banana peel'.
