Here's a couple of photos from Doug Potter's collection. The "El Toro" Dart pic was taken at Bristol around 1970. I don't know anything about it. The "Rumble Bee" Dart photo was taken at the old "Drag City" track in Ringgold, Georgia about 1969. This car was owned by Thurmon Callaham at the time. I've seen other photos of the car with a different owner. I don't know where this car went after Callaham owned it.

I can't remember the classes back then. Was the 4-AA or 1-AA the single 4 barrell?? A lot of guys ran the single 4 with the "bathtub" intake, they still could class race and dodge the "hitters' ie, Bagwell.
