Check out the snow, first shot that's hard core racing
SS/E???

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

If I remember correctly someone said on here one of the *HRA's used Super Stock/Eliminator sort of like Pro Stock.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

AHRA, from '67-71 ran SS/E. They adopted "Pro Stock" in 1972. They also used GT (similar to Modified Production), and Super Stock was Formula Stock.

here's the pic

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Anybody recognize the Dart in the background ?

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Looks like Gene O 'Neils "Genes Speed Shop " LO23 before it was lettered , but cant say for sure .

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

that's it for sure. Depends on when/where the pic was taken, could've been when it was transitioning from Gene's Speed Shop to Border Jumper when Larry had it. Or like Hemitime said just after Kerr painted it and before it was lettered. Where'd you find the pic Charlie? Very cool, thanks for posting.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Sorry I mean Jerry, thanks for finding it, thx Charlie for making it bigger.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Could also be when car was getting lettering changed from originally being Gene's Auto Racing Equipment to Gene's Speed Shop.I think this makes the most sense? I also remember hearing story of how one of front fenders was burnt with a space heater one winter so maybe that prompted relettering?? I can ask Gene when this happened,he still is pretty sharp for an old buzzard

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

The picture came from the Vintage Camaro Drag Photos group on Facebook.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Still wondering about that LO23 Dart that sold on Cars-on-line a few weeks ago. Supposedly went to Arizona. Anybody know about the history or who bought that car. Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks in advance.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

My father bought it. Dick Hansen drove it. I still have it.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

My dad drove to Detroit to pick it up. I still have it. Always stored in heated warehouse. Arguably the most original one left.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Sorry fix it. Its was just sold, it was in a barn for over 35 years needs work.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

I am the owner of this Red M Code with the Hemi in it. I just joined as a friend of mine sent me the link to the picture you have of July 69. The 440 was taken out of the car pretty much after it was bought and the Hemi with 8 webbers was set in the car. Here is another picture of the car. My plan is to return it back to Day 2 with the Hemi and 8 Webbers on it as I got the intake also.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Day two as it was ran back in the day is wicked , cool story ,any current pics?

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Here is a picture of it in hibernation for 36 years and a picture of it removed and brought to the house for its new life back to its Glory Days about a month ago. :D

I still have the injection intake set up and a short block Hemi. Just need to round up some good heads complete.:)

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Is that an E-body ragtop a couple of cars over from the Dart? Is it available? Thanks

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Welcome here

Very very cool old car!!!!!! Good to hear your putting it back to Day 2 even tho it's an original M code. This car is very unique & should stay that way. Good on ya!!!

how much you know on it's past like where the Hemi came from & why on a brand new car.
Can you fill us in some?

liteweight

I may have a set of heads if your interested

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Yes, that's the first question that popped into my mind after finding out that it was not a factory Hemi Dart updated to 1969 body specs and higher priced interior. Also, whoever performed the swap (who did, by the way?), most likely used factory parts that were (still) readily available if you knew the right part numbers.

Hey Daryl,


A-L-M-O-S-T a MILLION hits on your topic.


How about some words of wisdom from the originator of what has to be one if not THE best automotive history sites on the net?


Always a fan....and still hoping for that ride to happen. ;)

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Have you noticed that you very seldom see a wheel stand from a lightweight???? They all used mopar SS springs and pinion snubber. In 1971, I was very close to a Mopar sponsorship, prior to their financial problems. I was told that I had to use the same set up (I already had it)....for sponsorship. In hindsight, it was not very good.....just my 2 cents

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

I presume you're talking about back then. You're right.

What he said .........


Lets at least get this topic updated.
If you ever sent pictures, try to repost and up date as many as you can of the ones that have expired and fallen off. Many from the early posts are gone.
