Don't remember seeing this photo. The car yes.
Looks like a little "crunch" on the driver side quarter panel. Great picture: http://classracer.com/classforum/att...3&d=1427768052 |
Re: Original hemi dart information
I just got word from Dick Oldfield that Tom Hoover is on life support.. I don't know any other information other than that dick said Tom had something last year & it's back but much worse. He is paralyzed from the waist down
Send him your prayers. Wishing all the best to the man that turned the automotive world upside down liteweight |
Re: Original hemi dart information
Dick Oldfield has reported the latest on Tom Hoovers condition. He is in recovery from a disorder called guillain-barre syndrome. It is some sort of nerve disorder.

Re: Original hemi dart information
Rick Lakin aka Frito sent me this photo. Hard to make out but there's a Hemi Dart on the back of that hauler. Right behind the Charger. Where I'm going with this is, Pete Marzec aka Manhattan Speed Hemi Dart silver in color had a 67 Charger previous to getting the Dart. Anyone know of Race Car Engineering, like, where they were located?etc

Re: Original hemi dart information
That sure looks like Lone Star Race Car Engineering in Oak Grove Ky. Bill Weller and Bill Barnett was the money behind it. At one time had two Darts. One SS and the other altered. The SS car was real, the not. Barnett had a big farm, pawn shop and liquor store. Oak Grove is across the street from the gates at Fort Campbell.

Here is the LO23 in question for Lone Star Racing. Similar logo? They both (car and shop) include the phrase "Race Car Engineering" so it's quite possible. But....no Star on the shop as part of "Lone Star". Always another mystery...huh Daryl? :) https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...QWCxe_WnSikbDghttps://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...TXpp-HvcU5APN6 |

Re: Original hemi dart information
Yep. Another great Paul Wasilewski shot . I've been purchasing prints directly from Paul and am fortunate he took quite a few shots of this car. He has a website and has a large collection of racing pics he took available as prints. Northeast tracks like New England Dragway, Epping, etc.

Re: Original hemi dart information
Since this is the best thread on the internet I thought I would put out to the world that I too am working on a book through Cartech Books on the restoration of Dodge and Plymouth A-Body's. I signed the contract a couple weeks ago and my life is now over as I knew it! What was I thinking...
On a side note, I gathered most of the pieces for a Hemi A-Body 4-speed set-up including the original STEEL bellhousing and bottom cover, 72 Hustle Stuff A-Body 18 spline 4-speed trans, shifter and linkage including a used reverse lock-out, and a few other parts that will be for sale soon. When I got the Shipley Hemi Dart it had the floor pan cut-out and a frame mount for the ball so I assumed it was a 4-speed. Jack Arnew told me it was an automatic car, so it must be done that way, thus the 4-speed stuff needs to go if anyone here is interested. Jim |
Re: Original hemi dart information

Re: Original hemi dart information
Any interest in Chrysler manual trans with liberty gears? Input is gone but main cluster has front gear welded on it to alter first gear ratio I believe. Steel case with I think aluminum tail housing. Can send picture if interested. A fair price will get it because shipping such a heavy thing from AZ will cost Jeff

Jim O'Connor Started off in Chicago Illinois as a 'Chevy' man, and ran a 1962 Chevrolet Impala 409. Jim ended up being the 'High Performance' Parts Manager at 'Nickey Chevrolet' in Chicago from 1964 thru 1966. Surprisingly, Jim also performed driving chores for Lenny Krause of Grand-Spaulding Dodge in Chicago in 1965 and 1966. Jim drove the 'Fuel Injected' 1965 Dodge Coronet 'Funny Car' for Mr. Norm's. In late-1966, Jim then moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan to become a Service Manager for a Pontiac Dealership. In early-1967, Dale Berger {Grandson of Bill Berger} of 'Berger Chevrolet' in Grand Rapids, Michigan made an offer for Jim, to come join Berger Chevrolet in their new home at 2525 28th Street, and to run the 'new; High Performance Parts Department. At the time, Berger Chevrolet was the #1 Chevrolet Dealer in Western Michigan. Jim also campaigned a 1967 Corvette for 'Berger Chevrolet', called 'The Carouser'. It was Berger Chevrolet's 'first' Race Car that they ever sponsored. But, Jim's stay at Berger Chevrolet was 'short lived'. In mid-1967, Jim moved again. This time it was to 'Azzarello's Chevrolet' in Lowell, Michigan. Jim then campaigned a 'new' 1967 Camaro SS 396 {396/375 HP} in Sper Stock {SS/C}. The 'Royal Plum' painted Camaro routinely ran 11.90's @ 117 MPH, and was a dominant force in Super Stock at; * US 131 Dragway ~ {Martin, Michigan} * Milan Dragway ~ {Milan, Michigan} * Great Lakes Dragway {Union Grove, Wisconsin} But, in April 1968 > Mopar 'came-a-knocking', and offered Jim a deal on a 1968 LO23 Dodge Dart 'Race Hemi' {Automatic} to run in SS/BA, as well as to become a Service Manager at 'Earle Ike Dodge' in Inglewood, California. Jim liked the 'deal', and went to the West Coast. |
