Original hemi dart information

If your down south right now you should check out a few auto salvage yards to see if they have any nice rust free '68 Dart, '68 Barracuda, '64 Belvedere, '64 Savoy, '64 Dodge 330 rust free bodies or shells...the stuff is getting hard to find nowadays.

Anyone know anything about this '68 Hemi Dart that was restored at Bob Moshers shop in SoCal...heard it was an original L023, anyone know the history on it.

Not the Black car. It's still in my garage. I have put it on the street though. The one thats now silver was red with checkers on it . Glad to hear your in Phoenix. Don't worry about the heat, you do get use to it. Not.

Katrina got all the stuff down here. From garages to junkyards reports were over a half million vehicles were fresh and salt water flooded.
The salvage lots here were full of some really nice classics and rods that are by now a stick of rebar somewhere.
I know one guy that lost a real 427 Fairlane to 19 feet of water.
NEVER asked him what his insurance gave him or did with the car.
You could see the pain when he talked about it.

Hey Mark J, do you know who's L023 Frank Spittle's old car was originally...kinda like to know.

Frank got the car from someone in Fla. mid eighties. Bought it because it had never been tubed etc. and had all the pieces. He is looking through some boxes in storage to get more info for that connection. This car was #50 of the 1st batch 56 Darts on Feb. 18th, 1968 and is a 4 speed. SO was it always in Fla??? Wish we knew! It looks like someone ordered a stick Dart from Dependable Dodge in Vero Beach, Fla. and I see DD are still in business. Wonder if they have records pre computer era. I just may give them a ring.

Off the original list (car list from Hurst),

An Automatic car went to Joe Weis, which was
delivered to Biscayne Dodge in Miami Beach.

A 4-Speed was purchased by Alan Carroli, which was picked up at the Hurst Facility.

And, a 4-Speed car was ordered by Dependable Dodge out of Vero Beach, but no name was logged on the order.
