Re: Original hemi dart information
M68,
Great find. Preston Honea and the original SS/BA Ray Rixman Dodge out of St. Louis, Missouri. The Bill Flynn SS/B Dart. Looks like the Super Stock Magazine Nationals at New York National Speedway July 1968. Great scores.........

Re: Original hemi dart information
The Speedwin Automotive was the Dart that I remembered, it was owned I believe by my brother's friend Joe Armor, he got tied up with Speedwin. If you look closely at the front fender there is "RamRod" the name of the car. The way the story went is that Speedwin was the machine shop for the engine, the original engine was sold to a fire company's race truck. Speedwin built Joe another engine and it siezed going through the traps, at that point Joe gave up the racing. If I have it wrong, I was a kid at the time and didn't understand the politics of what was going on. The car was fast, when we took it to Islip Speedway, it was the fastest car there. It had trouble stopping at that track.

Re: Original hemi dart information
Pete,
Original Hemi Darts,,,,,,, Top two photo's of previous post (#824) SS/B Dart Jerome Williams out of Cleveland, Ohio. Later was a Hall & Williams partnership. Third photo is; Denny Kilbane 'SS/BA' Dart Kilbane Dodge out of Strongsville, Ohio (outside of Cleveland) Also, Mr. Ed SS/B Dart (post #799) That was Ed Knesevitch out of Columbus, Ohio. Notice; Ed put on the GTS stripe kit that was put in the trunks of all the Hemi Darts that left the Hurst facility. That car was purchased by Tony Chickery (out of LaGrangeville, NY), near me. Tony bought Mr. Ed in mid-1970 out of an ad in the National Dragster. All for,,,,,,,,,,,,, $5500 pc Last edited by Paul Ceasrine; 06-25-2011 at 03:55 PM. |

Re: Original hemi dart information
Since all of the 68' Hemi Darts started off as 383 GTS cars.
A bumble bee stripe kit was put in the trunk of each car, as they left the Hurst facility in Madison Heights. One white-stripe kit and one black-stripe kit. The 68's had the full dual stripe. Also, some of the Hemi Darts came through with Model #270 Dart front-grilles (ie; Shirley Shahan; 'Drag-On-Lady', post #817) Most cars came through with the GT sport grille, |
