I can just imagine.
A friend who worked at Ebbets Field Dodge back in the 60's, got delivery of one of the LO Darts (that ended up being the SPEEDWIN car) and it came off the trailer with one of the header manifolds uncapped in some way. He told me it was rather loud that morning they received it.

Some local people must have thought it was the ghosts of the Brooklyn Dodgers fans roaring. LOL.

A reminder from time passed. Not totally "race ready" as some younger fans might think they were.

My friends LO Dart kept on dropping its side door window down the slot and breaking. I believe he told me they replaced that glass a couple of times. Strap must have been faulty or not adjusted right. It was raw to say the least. Some parts were left in the trunk.
Today's Drag-paks are a far fetch from those qualities of years past.

Pardon me for getting off topic but that C Body just above the hood scoop in the background looks funky! It definitely has a 67 roof line but look at the trim/style lines above the wheels, especially the rear wheel. and the rear bumper area looks more early 70s. Possibly a one off prototype?

Re: Original hemi dart information
 
Did the LO and BO cars have the two vertical scoop supports originally from the get go or where they added shortly after? My memory ( or lack of ) says they came later.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 
Just curious. Does the letter's "LO" and "BO" have any particular significance to these vehicles? Besides being a rare production..
Thanks......
