A better view of the 1968 Dart 340 GTS.

Chrysler backed, and sponsored by the Los Angeles and Orange County Dodge Dealerships.

The Southern California Dodge Dealers Association had
'Wild' Bill Shrewsberry (The L. A. Dart wheelstander) drive the car
at the 1968 NHRA Winternationals @ Pomona.

Classed in E/S, it was expected to win its class, and challenge for the
Stock Eliminator Championship at the Winternationals, and then
head into the 68' Springnationals @ Englishtown in June, the Super Stock
Magazine Nationals in July, and and the Indy Nationals in September.

It was the E/S Class Runner-Up at the 68' Winternationals.
Over-heating problems was its downfall heading into the Class Final.

Chrysler put alot of time and effort into this car in December 1967,
while preparing it for the January 1968 NHRA event.
The Dodge Performance Heads even labeled it their 'Pride and Joy',
after it had won '3' straight Stock Eliminator Events in a row in
early January, prior to the 68' Winternationals.

Chrysler supplied all the parts, Keith Black did the engine, and Cyclone Headers
were even on the sponsorship too.

Ran 12.80's @ 108 MPH.
