Freddy,

I sent you a PM

The first '2' 1968 440 Dodge Darts 'GTS' (SS/EA) went to
Dick Landy, and Saddleback Dodge in California.

Both were delivered 3-weeks before the 1968 NHRA Winternationals.
The cars were original 383 GTS cars, automatics.
With bucket seats, consoles, heater and radio
Drum brakes 10". No under-coating.

The 383 engines were pulled, and 440 engines were installed before they were shipped out.

I'll try to locate the full details
The original '6' factory 1968 GTS 440 Darts (SS/EA).
1) Dick Landy (California)
2) Saddleback Dodge (Charlie Allen) (California)
3) Friedman Motors (Des Moines, Iowa)
4) Greater Detroit Dodge Dealers (Ron Mancini)
5) Rockville Center Dodge (Rockville Center, L.I., New York)
6) Bob Banning Dodge (Hyattsville, Maryland)

A guy in New Jersey (Tom ?) got the Rockville Center Dodge car in 1969.
