Dave,
Tony Chickery passed away around 2004 or so.
I have most of the details on how Tony purchased the car.
In late-1970, he saw an Advertisement in National Dragster.
The Hemi Dart 4-Speed {lettered ''Mister Ed' } went for $6000 {if I remember correctly}.
Tony had to pick up the car in Greenup, Kentucky ~ not in Ohio.
If I remember correctly, the Dart ran in 'SS/A' for the last month or two of 1970 {October/November} when Tony ran it Dover Drag Strip.
A beautifully painted car.........
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When they went to pick up the Dart, they were told to go to Columbus Ohio.
Make a left {on Route 23}, and head South for 2-Hours.
