Dave,
I think Mark J or Daryl can verify this.
Ron Mancini's first Hemi Dart did not come directly from the factory.
He bought Gil Clark's car in June 1969. (an original factory car).
Gil was an AHRA-contracted racer out of Toronto, Canada.
I'm pretty sure it was a 4-speed originally.
Gil Clark's car was the #5 car out of the first 56 produced (first run) on
February 18, 1968.
Supposedly Gil's last run was at Detroit Dragway in June 1969.
Records show it ran a 10.73 in SS/B.
Paul
