Re: Original hemi dart information
 

It became the white one shown, stll had the same paint in 2000-01. Herb and Danny both had a chance to look at it at the Indy Trade show sitting in the parking lot on a ramp truck. There also are pics of the car with the Sox and Martin paint job with West Virgina Hemi on the Door If it would have been anyone elses car it would never have been repainted in 2001, the car was that nice!!

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Here's another one of the West Virginia Hemi's...was it another repainted Sox & Martin car...any idea who's B029 this was originally.

Paul
Are you sure these 2 pix are of the same car???? I'm looking at the hood colors & they're not the same.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Daryl,

The fenders and decal placement are the same on those cars.

Yes, the hood and front-grille paint scheme are different, but it is the
same car.

Sox & Martin went to the 1968 Springnationals at Englishtown with only
one BO29. The NHRA #784 car.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

So if Sox & Martin did repaint the hood on the car from white to blue sometime during the '68 season as mentioned, then is this the same car that was at the '69 Detroit auto show...notice it does not have the engine call out on the right & left edges of the hood.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

And...no wide blue stripe between the white and blue paint line either. At least none my tired old eyes can see.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Here's a couple of old shots of Sam Carroll's B029 '68 Hemi Barracuda that he bought off of Sox & Martin...which he later repainted.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Notice that this S&M car has been updated with '69 header panel, hood and grille shells in this pic. Would this have been a legitimate Super Stock car or might it have specifically built as a match racer, Modified Production entry or very early Pro Stock car?

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Some good points made here...I'm thinking Chrysler told them to build one for the car show circuit to promote the brand...but it could have easily been put into action after the car show stint was over...Anyway here's another one of Sox & Martin's B029's with different decal placement on the front fenders.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Liteweight, any idea who's car this was before it was repainted in the Sox & Martin colors...was it the 'West Virginia Hemi' B029 car as well.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

This S&M Pro Stock car appears to have '69 header panel, grilles, and hood too but the blue / white hood paint is reversed from the S&M Barracuda shown at the '69 Detroit Autorama and in the Plymouth promo photo with Ronnie and Buddy.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Don Carlton is driving the car in the above pic.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

#784 was Not acid dipped. Sam bought from S&M and I drove,later I bought it from Sam keep it a few years then sold to the Carpinet Bros.
They still own it, and have no plans to sell that I know of.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

hi jack did the carpinet brothers have a 68 cuda that got wrecked in the garage by a drunk driver?

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Perillo and Cerrone Barracuda was the one that was hit inside the garage, I believe it was originally the Harris Automotive car.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Didn't Bob Gaudreau's 'Candy Cuda' experience the same fate in
a garage in Bristol, Connecticut.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Don't think so, Bobby Carpinet never said anything to me about the car being damaged.

When I delivered the Cuda they had a 68 Plymouth wing car that was running in S/S, but no BO 29

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Pretty sure this is Eddie Smith's car that he bought from S&M.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Bob, yes that's what everyone else seems to say about those pictures of the unlettered S&M '68 Hemi Cuda...also if you have anymore pic's of any other L023 or B029 cars can you post them.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Is it the "LOST" Dart Liteweight has?

http://images32.fotki.com/v1066/phot...SSHC976-vi.jpg

Appears to be a stick car......not an auto as liteweight's.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Here's what a couple of the West Virginia Hemi '68 Barracuda's ended up looking like, both repainted with similar paint schemes...notice the rear bumper guards on the car in the last pic.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Liteweight, so whats the story on this orange one, any history on this L023 Hemi Dart...and is it a automatic or 4-speed car.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

HM
The orange car is an original LO car W/ auto. These pictures were taken in 04 & the owner at the time
was uncertain of it's history. I understand he sold it a couple years later.

Here's another Dart very few have seen or know about.
Original LO stick car called the Gold Seeker that was raced out of Ohio I believe. Great original car with most of it's hard to find parts still intact. A complete car pretty much, with all the parts either in the trunk or the interior.

No way, do you hear me?
NO WAY would I have that Dart parked under a lift.

Gives me the shakes just thinkin' about it.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

do we know where this one wound up? another one that looks similar to what i remember.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Mark J has this car documented/located.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

I know I do, but I can't find them

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Herb McCandless car restored after being found in an autowrecker just a few weeks before it was slated to be crushed. Randy Hopkins campaigned it for a few years in these colors before he repainted it back to it's "true" colors. It now wears Keystones also.
