Whither 1966 D Darts for Stock

Since my days of drooling over and memorizing the pages of the Direct Connection "Bible", I've always liked that package. Too bad it only came in the ugly '66 Dart. Man, there just no way I would want to show up in one of those! Now if they could sneak it by in a '66 Valiant, that might make it more aggreable. Homely but cute in a way. Of course I drive a Rambler product so what do I know about looks!
I don't think I would want to race a D Dart in SS/I against things like 340 Dusters for example. Basically in SS the D-Dart offers no more than more compression and a Holley carb over a 273/235 engine. Granted, that's significant but to be competitive it probably needs to loose 40+ HP. Could be possible, start your letter writing campaign for this winter's project!
