Paul,
Thanks for the reply. It was well said.

I'm one of the guys that love the little D/Darts and that's why I search for information on the cars. That's also why I bought the two of them when they went up for sale. I'm lucky I have an understanding wife. The only reason that I sold the one was because the buyer was willing to pay me what I wanted for it.

To the best of my knowledge, they did make 50 cars. By my records, "The Politician" was the first car built with the VIN 888. A gentleman in Ga. ownes car number 937. That would make 50 cars. I have the current owners names, VINs and S/O numbers on 8 additional cars (that still exist) that fall between these two VIN's. I also have paperwork for the Poarch Dodge that falls between the 888 and 937 VINs.

The second owner of Ted's old D/Dart ran it in L/SA at Lapeer Dragway in 1970. He sold it to Al Adam in 1971. I was never able to get any info from Al on the car as to what class and what it ran when he had it.

With all this D/Dart talk, I think I'm going to have to take the car for a quick jaunt around the block. I think I'll have to wait till Monday when all the kids are in school and the parents are at work.
