A good friend knew Joe Patel well and almost bought his car. I'll ask if he knows where it went. I talked to Bob Banning a while ago and he gave me the name of the guy who bought his stick Dart. I couldn't get his #, but the lady who has something to do with the East Coast Drag Meet down south knows who owns the car now, but couln't divulge the name. The other Dart Bob Banning sold was the AT car John DeRosa owned and I almost bought from Fred E. I'll go through my notes this weekend.

Dave any update on Joe Patel's car

That looks like Great Lakes Dragway. No idea on the Dart though, sorry.

i know it is hard to tell with theses cars but what is the approximate build # of your dart? 1, 25 , 50? i was told that charlies first car was # 50

Al Mosarino has passed on. I have spoken with Kenny Wright a couple times & he remembers very little about his Uncle Charlie's Hemi Darts.
My car is one of the first 10 cars built serial number wise.

Thanks guys for the clarification on the fender tag info. Those tags were handy when we had to order interior trim parts (like when we received new Dodges with Plymouth steering wheels). The car's DNA was on those tags. But since this thread is a living history lesson I would like to know Daryl how you identified the fender tag for the Landy stick car (the tag that Landy's mechanic sent to you) without the VIN being on the tag? What other info did you use?

Morning Jim
There are 2 locations of body numbers on these 68 cars. One on the rad cradle, the other is on the DS trunk rail under the weatherstripping. These shipping order numbers ID the car to the tag

I have seen this pic before and CANNOT find it now. I believe there was also another car, perhaps a big bodied super stock with the playmate tag and similar paint.

If this one was built from an original that was wrecked....which one was it built from?
