Default Re: Whither 1966 D Darts for Stock

Bill,
I know that Paul Canizzaro wrote that there were about 25 D/Darts built.

This is what I've dug up on the car so far. When my first one was registered with Galen back in 2000, it was one - of - six in his registry. He sent me a list of the VIN's and S/O numbers that were registered. The last number he had listed had a VIN ending in 937. In 2002 I bought "The Politician" from Al Adam. It had a VIN number ending in 888. So, 888-937 would be a 50 car build. The 417 in the S/O number indicates that the cars were built on Sunday, April 17th.

Since 1998, I have collected VIN and S/O numbers from 5 other D/Darts. All the VIN's and S/O's fall between the 888 and 937 cars. The number that I didn't include in my previous post was the Porach Dodge. The original owner had the paperwork from the car when he bought and raced it. The car is long gone now.

So I have 10 VIN's of cars that currently exist. I'm not sure if they were race cars or not.

D/Dart Race Cars of that time were:
The Politician (*)
The Bounty Hunter
The Coronet Dodge
The Suburban Dodge Boys
The Baby Goat
The Little Ram Charger
The Mount Vernon Dodge
The Porach Dodge (*)
The Newcomer
The Sam Brown Dodge
The "Big Bad Dodge" Jr
The Yakima Dodge

Plus -- A D/Dart owned by John Bedell - Pictures on the D/Dart website.

(*) -- Have the VIN numbers of these 2 race cars.

That's a total of 22 cars.................please feel free to add to the list of race cars. Please include stuff like car names, driver names, tracks raced at with - city and or state. ----- thanks in advance.

dart4forte,
Been following the build of your 64 Dart on FABO. Nice looking car. Still have the PM from that site on the D/Dart. Any help with the numbers would be appreciated.
