Here's the story on the Dart directly from Mr. Paul Candies:

"Woody Car that Chrysler designed (piece of sh-t) until we took the leaf springs with traction bars off.

RAMCHARGERS/ GOLDEN COMMANDO each had one.
Almost went broke trying to make this thing work; went straight every run (straight left/straight right/straight up) but seldom straight down the race track.
After we copied the Logghe suspension it was ok."

Pretty cool...........

See you at the races,

What do you guys think about the modern day awb cars

I think they are a very cool addition to the world of hotrodding. There are a limited number of people that actually know anything bout the era when these cars were originally built & the class of racing that evolved from them. I believe they are a great education for future generations of drag racing fans.

ps: plus-------- they're just plain badazz freakin awesome

I had young people looking at the car and they were asking questions ,and then some people had not seen an awb car in the flesh since 1967. I took my car out to 6 races and everywhere I went it was the same thing it was so cool to see people get excited about a period in drag racing that was so short lived.
