Original hemi dart information

[SAL PIACENTINI]

Don't know if this helps but in the 60's the only MOPAR dealer I remember that had an elevator was Blue Ribbon Garage in Bridgeport,CT. This is in southern CT,{Fairfield County} & was about 25 mins from Bill Flynn's shop in West Haven.It was in the downtown area & storage in basement & service on 2nd floor.

Much thanks Sal....your contribution to this thread is much appreciated by everyone. Last Saturday I attended a "Gene's Speed Shop Reunion" (Gene O'Neill's original place of business when he was racing these things) up here in Webster, Ma. right near Ct. state line. It was great. People I knew from 40 yrs. past came out of the woodwork and showed up, some driving great distances. Again, thanks for your comments. WJ

Daryl,
As for as the Dart. my father got it black and thats it they way it was
sold. He did nothing to the car.
I wish I had checked the car out in detail. But I didn't. It was at my parents home, not my home. My father only had it about 3 months.
I'm doing somemore digging, but maybe the Murphy boys did the next project on the car.

Oh, Mark J (Bill Davitt stuff on the next post).
