Daryl i have combed through thousands of pictures, i cannot find the pictures of the dart from when my dad got it, i am missing a large container of race car pictures dating from 1964-5 all the way through 1985 or so.

daryl what is the production number of your car? i asked tony if he was familiar with any darts from the peekskill ny area that were painted similar to castaldos cars and he said no,tony remembered the dart when he came to look at it and remembers it looked just like castaldos car (paint etc) but was not it .he also told me the car he worked on was an automatic car.

so i have just one question what was the car my dad had in the barn that had the complete trans tunnel cut out and what happened to it? another lost hemi car!!!!!

Daryl,

That 'Wild Fire' car has some paint scheme similarities.
Study it closely.
