Original hemi dart information

[Liteweight]

John is referring to the photo in the pits of New York National Speedway in mid 70s. I made contact with the guy that took that photo and am waiting on the response. BTW that photo was posted on facebook on a Camaro page. Something I havent tried before. Thanx John

Yeah I wondered if anyone would recognize the Camaro... Sometimes folks who pit next to each other are buddies.

I talked to that guy a couple of years ago. He said that was his first time at NY National. He was actually taking a picture of the camaro and didn't remember anything about the Dart.

Yeah maybe the guy can send the original pic, if it's better quality my photographer friend it's possible to maybe clean it up a little.

Yes sir. IIRC it was you Terry that found that photo originally. The guy that took it George Robert just told me the same thing.

I’ve been studying the picture of the “Dandy Daryl’s” Dart and the blue Camaro in the pits, and I think:

1) what some think is a dent on the lower 1/4 in front of the rear bumper, I think is an American flag sticker. Here’s why…look at the center cap on the front wheel; see the blue on the Cragar cap? Now focus on the top left of the “dent”…see the blue? I’m not sure there is a dent there.

2) I can not say for sure that the passenger side window is tinted yellow, nor can I say that it is completely covered with something. To these old eyes, I see yellow writing like maybe that day’s race numbers written in yellow, or possibly a van(?) parked next to the Dart with something written on it that we’re seeing through the window. A couple things I can’t figure out that lead me to think the yellow might be on a vehicle next to the Dart are the white rectangular object at the roof near the windshield of the Dart, and the two white things protruding up in the air to the right of the white rectangle shape. Could that be a contractor’s or plumber’s work vehicle with equipment racks and the company logo in yellow?
