Is that the dart that Wayne Pendergrass has now, or had last time I talked with him.
It was a yellowish original 440 car.

Re: Potter's 69 Dart SS/FA Old Photos
 

That Dart ran SS/FA with a 340 ??????

Awesome looking 1969 Dart Swinger, lets hear some more stats on it and some more old photo's of it.

Re: Potter's 69 Dart SS/FA Old Photos
 

Check out that first photo of the 69' Dart closely.

Early 1969, that's B/SA on the window.

Later in the year it would change to C/SA.

NHRA did re-shuffle the 1969 season classes in mid-year.

Hey Paul, I think they have to run C now..Don't know anyone that is doing it.. Someone is running one in SS now, but can't remember who it is..Last I saw they were doing okay with it.

Anyone else notice this... In the first photo the car has Dart Swinger tail stripe, and in the last photo it has a GT Sport tail stripe. I'm curious what did this 1969 Dart have for a motor originally a 340 or a 440? :confused:

Is this the same track at Ringold now? Brainerd, I owned that Nance car several years later.

The reason I asked that was the "Dart Swinger" Bumble bee stripe on the car in one of the pix. Swingers came with 340s only. So the car was a 440 GTS with a "Swinger" stripe ???? Factory goof ??? Dealer installed ??? Owner installed ??? I did notice in one pic that the car had the grille with the GTS blackout paint treatment.

Re: Potter's 69 Dart SS/FA Old Photos
 

No, but we bought it from the Crawford Brothers in Ringold. And, there was a Factory SS Hemi Dart right across the street from them.

You should post any old photo's and any info / history / stories that you might have about this blue 68 Hemi Barracuda in the Hemi Dart thread.

Re: Potter's 69 Dart SS/FA Old Photos
 

Looks like in the beginning of 1969,
NHRA factored the 69' M' Code 440 Darts into B/SA.

But early in the year, they were re-classed into C/SA.

For Super/Stock, the class factors were shifted 'twice' during the
year.
They were classed into SS/FA, then into SS/GA, and then back
into SS/FA.
(wt/hp = 8.50 to 8.99 class)

My 69' 440 Cuda 'M' Code was classed in C/SA.
From 1970 and on they were classed in SS/FA, until the 440/375 HP
was re-factored to 356 HP.
Now, SS/GA.

I think that's correct.

My photo in our back yard shortly after purchase.

That 'flower design' on the front fender,,,,,,,,,,,,

Looks like the same paint scheme Goldie Hawn had drawn on her
during her 'bikini dances' on Rowan & Martin's Laugh In' (circa 1969).

Wasn't,,,,, Robert 'Mr Plymouth' Nance a Plymouth contract racer.
And got a 'sweetheart' factory deal for his BO-29 Hemi Barracuda???

Re: Potter's 69 Dart SS/FA Old Photos
 

Hmm, that's some interesting stats, but can you tell us a little bit more about your 1969 Barracuda 440 M code, or what happened to the hood scoops. What ever happened to the car after you sold it, is it still around?

KC,,

Despite the mis-information.
Dick Landy's 1968 SS/EA 440 Dart at the 68' Winternationals
won the SS/EA class, by defeating one of the 68' 428 Cobra-Jet
Mustangs from the Ford-factory team.

That car (with Butch Leal driving) made it to the Semi-Finals of
Super Stock Eliminator, losing to eventual winner Al Joniec
in the Holman-Rice sponsored SS/E 68' Cobra-Jet Mustang.

Maybe the first 'cloned' Hemi Dart,,,,,,,,,,,,,,1968....

Those guys must have been ahead of the 'curve' to get that car
together in 1968,,,,,,,

They look like 'sharp-minded' guys,,,,,,,,,,

SS/BA class,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
