Nothing looks better than those Fenton flat spoke wheels on a 60's stock/super stock car!

Car looks great,congrats Dave! Any pics. ever surface of how car looked and evolved when Gene sold it to 2nd owner?Would be interesting to see if 2nd owner had pics. of when he bought car and what it looked like thru his ownership. I hope they make a die cast model of this car,it sure deserves to be done!

Now that you mentioned it,, I curious how many diecast Darts are out there. I'm thinking the only one I've seen manufactured was Dick Landy's. Does anyone know of others that might have been created?

Rather than load up the whole screen with all the models, I chose this picture to blow up. Seems to say a lot about your Hemi addiction!
