If I remember correctly A/MS was original AHRA for SS/A .

A / Modified Stock

If I'm right, that would make it a stick car.

Liteweight, notice the drivers side mirror & rear finish panel on the Asphalt Animal '68 Hemi Dart...I think it might have been a privately built car.

Never noticed that. Very Valid points, specially the tailpanel. Yup, I tend to agree with you

The primer one had LO dash tag if I remember right

The purple one is convincing but has a wedge in it by the looks of the headers. They look like fenderwells

The Asphalt Animal was a privately built car...it was built in McDonald, Pa. from a body in white.

Bob George is the one to contact....he knows all about the history of that one, including where it is now. Bob has built a clone to his original to race it...they had both of them up at Beaver Springs for the Nostalgia Nats....you can't tell them apart except for the shiny chroome wheels on the clone.

The purple one I believe belongs to PJ Davenport (dont quote me on the name). My dad bought some steel front end dart fenders from him. He thought it had a wedge and a hemi in it at different times. Pretty sure its not a real dart, but neat none the less

I witnessed that purple Dart being bracket raced in Illinois back in the mid 90s and I'm quite confident that it was home built from an ordinary production car.
