Good questions, and great thread going on here. The 'Brookyln Heavy'
Dart sure looks like the Mutt Brothers car. In 1971, lots of Hemi guys were going to the Tunnel-Ram and the monster Holley's, and abandoning the cross-ram with the 770 Holleys. Better atomization. So it is possible that the 'Heavy' car is one-and-the-same.

On Manhattan Speed Shop. Yes it did exist and they did sponsor a
72' D/G Vega (owned by R & R Construction) around 74'/75'.
The other location; Manhattan Speed & Power Equipment was located on 232 West Broadway.
As for other sponsors, Manhattan Speed Shop sponsored a Hemi Dart,
in 69' ?. I have a photo of their Dart versus Charlie Castaldo's SS/BA
car (his second Dart).

Amazingly, the only original Hemi Cuda that ended up in New York
(original factory order) was Ed Miller (SS/B) out of East Syracuse.
Paul,,,more to share

Bringing up an old post due to new info on my car. Paul, .head on over to my thread for the latest .

I think the Mutt Bros Dart was the SK Speed Dart.

What was his minimum, $500 per race?
Raced 'heads-up only', no car-length handicaps.
Don't remember anyone coming up with that amount of cash back then
71'/72'.
Never saw it at E-Town or Dover, but it was supposed to be a
11.50 machine. Yes, it was a street driven. Hung out along
Central Avenue Scarsdale/Yonkers..
Close-ratio, w/4.56's.

Yonkers Joe, the vette you're referring to is "Longette's Vette" from Matawan , NJ. :-)

Mutt Bros Dart was for sure the S&K speed Dart. I know the original owner and one of the last Mutt Brothers.

Back to the topic at hand, Connecting's last race was officially in 1997 when a certain Black car ran against a heavily juiced small block S10 truck.
The truck just nipped him at the stripe or the second overpass bridge if you wanna call that the line. The hole with its tar top was a bit bumpy out of the hole and then smooth once you reach the new concrete at around 300 ft out.
