Re: Original hemi dart information
Did anyone ever find out where the "King Dart" car originated from.
It was at Indy in 1968. Green with "King Dart lettered in gold, with
'old English' style lettering..
Jocko,
As for technical info.
The 1968 '383' Barracuda weighed in at #3254 lbs.
The 426 Hemi weighed #145 lbs. more than a 383.
In theory, a 1968 Barracuda with a Hemi engine would in weigh in at
#3399 lbs, without any weight lightening provisons.
The 68' Race Hemi Barracuda weighed in at #3020 lbs.
Which means, the Mopar Factory Race Techs were able to knock off
#379 lbs. of weight off the car.
The 68' Hemi Cuda's and Darts were approxiametely #400 lbs. lighter than the 65' Race Hemi Belvedere's and Coronets (Weight #3408 lbs.)
