Alan,
Thank you for the kind reply.
Just trying to helpful. Good for you, on the (2) D-Darts. Especially on
the first one produced. Ted Spehar, excellent Mopar performance
technician. Put together several Mopar Drag cars.
Ted, got one of the original 65' A-990 S/SA Hemi cars back in early 65' (#14 car). Ran it out of his Birmingham, Michigan shop.
As for the car running in L/SA back in 70'. That doesn't compute.
Unless it was running in some AHRA designation.
The D-Dart in 1970 (NHRA classification) would have been classed in
G/Stock (10.71 wt/hp), with all the 289/271 HP K-Code 65'/66' Mustangs.
The L/SA designation ?. Did he switch over to an automatic. Our
273/235 HP 67' Cuda was running in K/Stock in 1970.
I'll post more later.
Good HI-Po Hunting.......Paul
