Original hemi dart information

[hemid68]

Has anybody posted any pictures of the Musgrave & Sullivan Wayne County Speed Shop Hemi Dart? I'm not even sure it was an "original" Hemi Dart, ( I'm sure Mark J knows) because when I used to see it run at Coles County Dragway, I believe it was running Modified Production (late 60's early 70's). It was a big part of the reason my Dart has red wheels. I used to see there black Dart with gold wheels, and thought that was "cool", but I liked red better, so I used it.

Coles County was a little 1/8 mile out in the middle of no-where Illinois basically, but a lot of Hemi cars ran there. Besides seeing Wayne County's Dart, Lloyd McVey's Invader ran there a lot, Billy Fritz ran a '68 Hemi Cuda there a lot, plus all the other Hemi cars around there.

As far as I know, it is still in operation. A funny side note, I wasn't old enough to drive, so a time or two, I rode over there, from Terre Haute, IN, in an original '68 Hemi GTX, that my friend Chris Sanders raced, and still races.
Anyway, enough story telling for now!!

Hey Dan
Thanx for sharing. Keep it coming bud.

If I remember correctly this is the old Wayne County car. Notice the drooped front fenders from when it was running Pro stock. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. It's been known to happen on occasion

Also notice how the headlight doors/grille are sitting on the bumper. You can see the diffrerence comparing it to the yellow one next to it. 60's/70's aerodynamics !
