What are the current SS/AH hemi darts using for front torsion bars? Looking at cloning a 67-69 Dart body and ride height of one of these current Super Stockers like Gary Wolkwitz or Jim Daniels. It will be a street/strip car with a 340 that is being given to me.
Thanks Manny

What they're using and what you need with the lightweight motor you're going to run . with a hemi/big block if you use the mopar performance race t bars your car will settle down low into the weeds eventually no matter how tight you twist them-they're that light. Stock the 68SS cars used the heavy 383 bars so you could set the height where you want it and it stays there. I wouldn't worry too much about them, build your car and see how the bars you already have work and go from there.

I've never seen a pic when Gil Clark owned the car. Plenty of pics as the Mancini car and the Irish Rover. |

Flintstone,
I have several photo's of Chick Brignolo's Dart from 1968/1969. When it was lettered 'Play Thing". Pretty car. Green with those nice American Racing Wheels. Paul |

Art,
It looks possible. HARRAH'S CASINO Las Vegas, Nevada Purchased a new 1968 Hemi Barracuda SS/BA in May 1968 (2nd production run) Wonder what happened to it. I wonder if it was around long enough to compete at the Stardust National Open in Las Vegas in February 1969. Paul Last edited by Paul Ceasrine; 06-06-2011 at 05:00 PM. |

Mike,
Judy Lilly was at the 1969 NHRA Winternationals in Pomona. Her car was painted in a Sox & Martin scheme, and lettered with Denver Plymouth Dealers on the door. ran SS/BA. It was re-painted later in the year, with Judy Lilly on the door and Denver Plymouth Dealers high on the rear quarter panels. In 1969 she posted at best of 10.52 @ 132.80. As per the information, she got the car in August 68', spent 5 months putting it together at a cost of $8000. She was a Hot Rod Magazine feature article for April 1970. pc |
