Joe Jill of Speedwin Automotive (Hauppauge, L.I) who prepped the
'Brookyln Heavy' Dart also had a 68' Hemi Dart (SS/BA car).
The 69' Cuda (not an original 68' Factory Hemi) Hemi was
Sox & Martins A/MP car, that Billy 'The Kid' Stepp drove.
As crazy as this sounds, only 3 (original purchased) 68' Hemi Darts ended up in the Long Island and Southern New York area.

* One other that came through the area, but not accounted for
Cy Greene Dodge, Manhassett.

Joe Jill's Dart was origianlly called "Ram Rod" which was owned by Joe Armor.
Also there was a Cuda SS/A bought by George Baptiste, he bought it from a private owner somewhere in Brooklyn after some kid told him about the car sitting in a garage. Talked to George at Indy 1994.
BTW, Manhatten Speed used to have a hell of a Cristmas party! Food, drinking and naked women. If you wanted a BJ, all you had to do is have it done in front of everyone as a show. LOL!
