Thanks in advance

I purchased it in about 1977. Drag raced it and street raced it. Had a lot of fun with it but I was always paranoid about street driving it mainly if someone leaned on one of the doors. I removed the hemi when I purchased it and swapped in the one from my hemi roadrunner. Left on the inlines and drove it around and even drove it back and forth to work. There's been a LOT of stories on this car and believe me everyone had to get there share of $$$. That not what I owned/sold it for. It's a shame how everyone knows better than me. This whole thing really irritate me. I guess I'll just stop now. Thanks for your interest.

Hi again. When I purchased it looked exactly the same in the picture with the 11.10 on it. The first think I did was sand off his name and the fist on rear of the quarter panels lol. I eventually sanded everything off of it. I do have some pictures somewhere when (if) I get the time I'll dig them out and post some. Man those were the days. What part of the country are you from?

What year did you sell it ,who did you sell it to? Did it eventually get crashed?

I found a few pics but I don't know how to post them. I'll try to figure it out.

I saw an orange 68 Hemi Dart at the Mecum auction his past weekend in Fla. . Probably a clone but it was a GOOD clone. Its was closed up so I could not see all of what I wanted to see. It was a street driver with under the dash A/C in it....LOL.
