Re: Original hemi dart information
 

BTW Anyone here planning on attending The Mopar Nats in Columbus this year?

I'll have the Dart there included in a display with a few Motown Missile cars, Jimmy Addison's The Silver Bullet 67 GTX, Tom Hoovers 66 Hemi Coronet, & a bunch of other really neat cars under a tent.

I remember reading about Addison's Silver Bullet many, many years ago and thinking that car is bad to the bone! I'll never see it in person, so I'm hoping there'll be some photos posted from that weekend,,, thanks Daryl.

Very impressive Daryl, I don't think I want to challenge you to a grudge race!

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Since you put it that way, I might make the trip, depending on my work schedule.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Frito will be there. Looks like 2 original LO29 Darts on the property.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

we was talking about this scamp
on facebook,was it a reskinned 68 hemi dart,has black buttons in the door handles which would be 68

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Hey does Frito know what the other Dart may be? Looking forward to seeing you again.

Nice find!!!! Know what / whose it was as a Dart?

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

This is what we're trying to fiqure out Charlie. We don't know if it actually was a LO23 Dart to begin with. It could be, and reskinned. But it could also be a Scamp with 68 lightweight doors on it from a LO23.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Hot off the internet re facebook. Jeff Husk replied to this car. Very knowledgeable dude with a way better memory than mine. He posted that he got info. from The 68 SS Historian hisself, Mark Janaky that this was Bob Ramstroms 68 Hemi Dart converted.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

The tent this year is 40' x 120'. If you look in the new Mopar Muscle at the event map shown in their Nat's preview, the tent is in the lower left area and is denoted on the map as "A-Body Club" which is what we called it the last couple of years in reference to our affiliation with FABO members but we have now renamed it the HDK Suspension tent to include a few B and E Body cars.

In addition to the cars you may recognize, the others, almost without exception have all been multiple magazine feature and cover cars with lots of street licensed Hemi A-Bodies included.

Of course liteweight's Dart as well as Skypower's Hemi Barracuda will be in the tent. (Bob's the O.P. on the Class Racer Hemi Barracuda thread)

We hope that all of the great folks on Class Racer will stop by! The tent spots are reserved and it is full but there should be a few display spots available right next to the tent it if anyone else brings their car.

If you are racing, when you get towards the front of the staging lanes just look to the left over the 3' high chain link fence (there is an access opening close by) and we will be within shouting distance. Walk on over!

The tentative lineup is:

IN TENT - Front row left to right (when facing the drag strip)

1. Harold Sullivan - Jimmy Addison's Silver Bullet Hemi GTX
2. Tom Devers - Tom Hoover's Terror of I-696 Hemi Coronet
3. Greg Charney - Mopar Sprint Car Motored Dart
4. Ben Donhoff & Larry Mays - Mopar Missile Duster - NOT YET CONFIRMED
5. Arnie Klann & Joe Pappas - Mopar Missile Duster Wire car
6. Arnie Klann & Dick Oldfield - Motown Missile Challenger
7. Ebbie Merritt & Mark Williamson – Motown Missile Cuda
8. Denny Laube – Hemi Duster
9. Daryl Klassen – SS/AA Hemi Dart

IN TENT - Back row left to right (when facing the drag strip)

10. Jim Bayer – Hemi Demon
11. Bill Watkins – Cross Ram Wedge Barracuda
12. William Parris - Gen III Hemi Barracuda
13. Dave Gordon – 71 Dart with Tom Hoover 6-Pack motor
14. Pat O'Conner - Hemi Duster
15. Dan Hausch - 383 Duster
16. Rod Lunt - 416 Demon
17. Mark Somma - Hemi Barracuda or Hemi Demon
18. Bob LeHoullier - Hemi Barracuda ("SKYPOWER")
19. Mike Ricketts – 68 original Hemi Roadrunner

I have also invited Paul Ceasrine, Steve Atwell and Ted Spehar but they have not confirmed as of this date.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

really looking forward to this deal John. Now I just gotta get my car back together.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

I'm sure a lot of folks will enjoy seeing your Dart in person for one of it's rare appearances in this part of the country.

We are going to have a GOOD time!

These two photos were just posted on the FaceBook page for Hemi Shoot Out. They are from the US Nationals in 1989 of the John Friel original "LO23 code" Hemi Dart. David Barton confirmed that this car had set the NHRA record (for E.T.) earlier that month at 9.33 seconds.

The yellow Barracuda is the Wendell Howes entry. The red Barracuda is the Don McCallum entry.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Thanks Mopar 68. I had never seen a picture of my car like that. I may have to see if I can contact Dan Sharp for a print.
Thanks again,

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

You're welcome. What shape is your car in, i.e., project car or finished?

Pete

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

It's finished. It is the Black Dart, with red wheels, in post #3456, on page 346.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Might the Dart # 3001 be the same car pictured as a wreck a few posts back?
