Original hemi dart information

How much does a modified car hurt the sale value. Would a tubbed car still draw as much as a leaf spring car if it was original?

Anyone know if any of these cars still have the original engine. How would you know if it was. Did Chrysler affix any numbers to the block to correspond with the car it was going in?

Daryl,
I have my favorite Italian Ristorante' picked out.
And yes, my favorite dish...........GIADA.

I do think I have to research New Jersey and Pennsylvania for possible connections to your car.
There seems to be some lack of representation around ATCO for a Hemi Dart.

M68,
That Ed Miller SS/A car paint scheme is from 1970 and up. The earlier paint scheme SS/B was much nicer, and the car had Cragars all around.
Also, had Stevenson Garage on front fender, and Syracuse Region
Plymouth Dealers on back quarter.

The Giada dish might be a little pricey. We'll have to share that one.!!!!!

I never said this was going to be an easy one to find. With the amount of renewed interest these cars have generated in the past few years, you'd think it would be alot easier, but it's not. What is not helping is, that with every year that goes by, the frequency of old racers dying is getting greater, & with that, alot of history & info!!!!

I agree with Paul, I think the Ed Miller car's pix is from the early 70's mostly due from the size of the wheel tire combo. No, I don't believe this is the same car that's in my shop because it's missing the spoiler on the deck lid, & it still has the 68 markers in it.

No, I haven't looked into the Max Hurley Darts. I am currently on the trail of the "WildFire" Dart as there are similarities that I've found.

Paul, stop it! You're making me hungry! I don't know what that dish is comprised of but I bet it's delicious!

Paul, Daryl: Regarding Ed's Barracuda, yes, I realize the photo is from the 1970s; I was just wondering if it was the same car.

P.S. Who was the driver of this prototype BO29 Barracuda?

[mopar68]

I know it's not a Hemi A-body but it's just too nice of a pic not to post.



And one more 440-powered Dodge A-Body along with its bigger brother.

Question: what do these two Darts have in common?

M68,
I think the photo of the BO-29 Cuda proto-type is from
the AHRA 69' Finals at Tulsa.
Check out the front bumper,,,,it is not on the car.
Car classed in B/MR.
Woodward Garage lettering on rear section, maybe Ted Spehar,
Dick Housey or Ralph Costa?
Check out the rear slicks,, Firestone Drag 500 and Fenton mags,
a possible Arlon Vanke connection.

They're both sweet!!! Unfortunately I don't have any video of the Dart when Don owned it, but I will always enjoy watching the video of the car (under John's ownership of it), during John's 100ft + long wheelstand enroute to the 9.14 I wrote about earlier in this thread....
