Dave,

Here is Tony Chickery in 1970.

Running his 1967 GTX 440, classed in SS/HA.

This was the Centolanza Brothers GTX.

You can still see the 'SS/FA' lettering from 1968 still on the 'C-Pillar'.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

As far as we know...the ownership history on the "MISTER ED" Dart:

Ed Knesevich (Columbus, OH)(Ed bought the Dart from Grand-Spaulding Dodge)
Frank Madden (Greenup, KY)
Tony Chickery (NY)
Frank Yokem (CT?)
Frank Dudash (MI)
Terry Thurman) (MI)
Norbert Knorr (MI)

Does anyone know Mrs. Knesevich, Frank Madden, Frank Yokem, or Mrs. Dudash?

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Yow converted his car to a '70. My question here is, where did you find this pic? I have the Zoom-O car now...

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

exciting when you can see old pictures of your car isn't it??

I could only be that lucky

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

My Grandfather had the car for over 10 years before I started tracking the history on it, lol. It's just a hacked up bracket car now. It will take a lot of time and money to fix what's been removed from the car, but I'm still young.

I am sure you've probably been looking at photos of your car for sometime now, just not knowing it's the car. With time, you will get the break you are looking for and everything will fall into place. On my '64 Dodge, I just found someone a month ago through Facebook who owned the car for a brief time in the 1970's. I didn't know he owned the car, or the two other people he told me about who owned the car after him. It's definitely an interesting experience, regardless of what the car is.

Someone is going to kick open an old box of photos one day, and there.............

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Steve, I found that pic on the HAMB website in the "History Drag Cars in Motion" thread. I found the thread a little while ago and have managed to make it to page 780 out of 1786...10-20 pages at a time. I think that pic was in the last few I viewed.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Before Ed Knezevich had the "MISTER ED" Dart, he ran this A990 car.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

There is a box of pictures out there somewhere with pictures of my car when Lou Vignona purchased it, but it can't be located.

Re: Original hemi dart information

Re: Original hemi dart information

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

While perusing the wares on eBay, I found this pic of DeRosa's Dodge from a June 27th, 1969 issue of DRAG TIMES newspaper that was being auctioned.

I have never seen this car before. Have you?

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

I really respect the fact that this car retains all of its "last time it was raced" characteristics. To me it's a shame that many of these cars have had their period correct chassis, roll cage and motor mods removed in favor of as delivered stock components. Late 70s throughout the 80s is the era of SS racing that I liked best since the leave spring / ladder bar cars did huge nose bleed wheelies that carried out forever.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Thanks for the update.

"Old school" rules in my book. :D

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Be kind of interesting to see a few of them parked side by side.

Original,as delivered.
Early S/S
Early Pro Stock
Today SS/AH

Sort of an evolution comparison.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Sounds like a photo session to me

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Well, yeah it does. Just trying to find a nicer way of sayin' it. I've been told "photo session" can be defined as a long four letter word. :cool:

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Early Super Stock, i.e., day two, sometime in 1968.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

I had forgot about this one.
Anyone have some info on it?? What car it turned into? Track??
Looks like Bolland was a multi faceted operation. Running both a SS/BA Dart & a SS/C Camaro. Owned by same guy or Maybe "in Family" operation. ie: brother,son, etc. I Can't make out the engine builder
A very rare pit truck too. 58-9 Cameo?

Re: Original hemi dart information

This photo was taken by Bob Snyder at the 1968 Super Stock (Magazine) Nationals held (sometime in mid-1968) at New York National Speedway.

found these ones

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Thankyou for that Bob!

I have been informed through emails, that the Bolland & McCollum Dart has not been located to date, but is not mine due to mods that were done to it by subsequent owners, that are not done to mine.

Another off the ever shrinking list of "Could be, Maybe's"

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

I ran across these photos while cleaning out. Thought you guys on this thread would appreciate them. The pictures were probably taken the fall of 1968; they are marked as developed 2-69. Herb was at Carlisle, AR with Don Grotheer on that day. There may have been others, but I believe it was a match race for the crowd. I do remember he stayed at the end of the race to make some test runs and missed a shift. I helped him change the transmission and he was complaining that the aluminum cases transmissions weren't as strong as the cast iron case transmissions that he drove in the full sized cars. Enjoy!
