Whither 1966 D Darts for Stock

Alan,

A thought on the actual production numbers: Since these were built in 1966, Chrysler should still have the IBM Cards for these cars, correct? I believe they offer that service on cars up to 1967? I would talk to Darrell Davis and see if you or someone else could possibly make a trip to Chrysler Historical to go through the files. This could answer your question about VIN's, Production Numbers, and Shipping Dealers.

Just my two cents.

To put "how far we've come," into perspective, there's a 235HP 273 Valiant 2-door "post" running in Div. VI in K/SA that has run 12.0's (and, maybe quicker, by now), driven by Angela Bushmaker, daughter of longtime racer "WILLY B" Bill Bushmaker, a Seattle area Mopar devotee. I ~think~ Larry Hollums does the engine for that car. Dunno how much quicker it might go with the D-Dart mods, but it sure would be interesting to find out...
