We have a winner!!!!! It is an ex Landy factory Hem,i Dart, BUT, it is not the stick car as Charlie pictured below on the haul It is the automatic car.
Landy won the 1968 Car Craft All Star award and the decals were proudly displayed on the windows of his race cars.
Along with the rear window decal, there's are some other stuff that puts a signature to its first days.
As mentioned a 69 tail panel along with 69 tailites were installed to appease Chrysler to stay updated to current model year. But you notice the auto car has round side markers, while the stick car has no side markers. Not sure why the 68 stick car had its markers filled in without the 69's installed, or why the auto car was converted to a 69 but the 68 markers remained.
You will also note the wheel well trim on all corners. Dick first put trim on these cars because when he went to install slicks on one of them, the rough wheel well surgery done by Hurst cut the back of his hand.

It is also still wearing its Cragars, WITH the signature DLI spinners.

Also check out the b&M decals on side glass
