Probably seen this car on here before, but found this in an envelope marked U.S. Nationals 1992, so I'm sharing.

Where did you find reproduction thin glass? Is it etched like the originals?

Actually I found an ad in Mopar collectors guide this month. No it is not etched with the logo like the originals.

Anyone know this car? Taken at Thompson Drag Raceway 1970. Sorry for poor quality, but it's a 45 year old photo!

SSE on the window was 1st year of pro stock. Believe it stood for Super Stock Elim. AHRA track.
That class was great in the first few years.

I have a bunch from that track, but all similar quality b&w. A couple LO/BO cars, but mostly Camaros. I'll scan some and post.

Correct on AHRA track, I ran M and N/Stock Optional there.

I searched this thread and the only info I found was that the owner was Denny Kilbane, bought the Dart through his family's dealership, Kilbane Dodge in Strongsville, Ohio. Here is another picture that was posted with a different paint scheme.

"Do you own a BO29?

liteweight "

liteweight I am building a clone BO29, I have always wanted one of these legends and I am at a point in my life now where I can . I hope to be able to represent a day two version , with basically the only difference visually will be the car being painted . I plan on building a stroked 482 automatic car. I would really like to find the right hand side heater delete vent box, if anyone knows where I can find one.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 
So through a member here Davescuda he gave me a lead to a gentleman that may have original paperwork for a LO23 Hemi Dart. I gave him a call, his name is Roul McCole & purchased one of these cars new through Mr. Norms Grand Spalding Dodge. Turns out it was shipped to him by rail. He tells me he picked it up from the rail yards & drove it home, some 20 plus miles away. This car was known as "Denny's Dyno". He remembers selling it in the early 70's to a guy in New York by the name of Richard MacKay. Richard painted the car black. I asked Roul if he knew what became of the car, but he doesn't know. I then asked him if he still had paperwork for it, & he said no.
Cool guy in his early 80's that lives on a Mountain top in California. Enjoyed the short conversation with him, as because of his location, his cell reception was somewhat less than good.

> 1967 and 1968 Chevelle .......... 427
> 1967 and 1968 Mustang .......... 427 Wedge
> 1967 Fairlane ........................... 427 Wedge
> 1967 Cyclone ........................... 427 Wedge
> 1968 Dart ................................. 426 Hemi

I'll bet most of the original LO and BO cars don't have that part on them anymore.

Do you mind posting a pic of what the heater delete vent looks like? That period paint and lettering just kills me... Bucky and Travis's work never fails to take it over the top...and raise the bar mighty high.

I've only seen one come up on ebay about 5 years ago. Mine didn't have one either. Don't know why they were pulled off cars.

FWIW this place lists a heater delete vent box for a 67, says they're built to order so it might be worth reaching out to see if they can do anything to help with one for the a-body cars.

I know someone that has a heater delete vent, but I need it for my car and have not been able to talk him out of it anyway! I have a few people looking for me in Hawaii, where you can still find old heater delete cars, but not many junkyards, always hopeful though!;)

Re: Original hemi dart information
 
I bought one for the BO29 car, but I think we are going to use the original one. We were able to fix it. I paid almost a 1000.00 for it. Crazy money for a small box.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 
I always wondered why my Dart didn't run as fast as it should. I thought it was because I was the mechanic on it, but I've decided it is because it doesn't have a heater delete vent box!

The track is OCIR, and it looks like it says Jenkins & Rettig Bros. If I had to guess I'd say 1970, as "Fast" Eddie went to a Comet for '71.
