Now this was when the Feather Duster and Dodge Lite's were being produced in 1972 or 73. Someone back there planned to produce a new Super Stock Package car using those car bodies and a small block motor. I think they were maybe going to use the W2 cylinder heads, then being used by NASCAR.
Those cars were very light. Would have been quite interesting. Years later I knew a fellow who built that very car. Ran 10 teens with no effort.

The time period would have been around 1975-1976. That's about the time that W-2 heads were introduced and Pro racers were getting into Sportsman classes. 1976 was the production year for Dart Lites & Feather Dusters.
