Re: Original hemi dart information
 
As for Darts that were converted to 70 models - I can think of at least 7 off the top of my head - 3 have been converted back. Larry Griffith's Dart is a real car - it was converted to a 70 and they still had the parts so they converted it back. Most of the other cars are unaccounted for. Yow's Dart was a real car that was converted as well.

From what I know Jim Wick's Barracuda (now owned by Danny Smith), 65 car and the Dart are all alive and well - possibly even the Duster. I thought I heard that his 66-7 car was crashed by a later owner. Jim's Barracuda is shown below next to the Jenkins Dart in the photo that liteweight posted below.

We inquired about it years ago.
