This is all great info lots of fun to read. How about doing this for the Cudas they have just as much history maybe more.

I guess I wouldn't say more history since they were out the same time. I think they may have gotten more attention back in the day because of Sox and Martin, or heck might just seem that way to me since i'v mostly been a Cuda guy myself. But I love Darts also.

i saw a picture on Facebook the other day of a red/orange Dart with Preston Honea on the front fenders and Ray Rixman Inc. on the quarters, anyone know anything about that car?

That is my car!!! I have had the car since 1975, and a pet peeve I have is, people want to know whose car it was, and I do understand they want the history, BUT there are a lot of us, that have had these cars much longer than the people that originally had them, and taken much better care of that history, than they did, because at that time, it was just a race car, and they'd get another one next year. So I tell them it is mine. When I got it in '75, it was nothing, but a cut up Super Stock/Pro Stocker. With the help of my friends, and relatives, we have rebuilt it twice, where Preston Honea/Ray Rixman Dodge, and the people that had it after him, did nothing but thrash, and trash it, as a race car.
I don't really have any pictures of it, because when I contacted Preston Honea, I was told several different stories, about pictures he had of it, but the end result was I never got any! I would be interested in seeing the picture, and if you want any info on it, feel free to contact me.
Thanks,

Dan i have had the same problem with selling my dads a990 car over the years they want its prior history , well there is none!!!!!! i can tell who the original purchaser was and he has no original pictures of the car when new, but my dad made the car famous setting records and winning races.
in the situation with this thread the only real way to verify the rest of the hemi darts is to ask about the new pictures of unknown cars,and have the owners comment about there where abouts . the real story is will we ever verify daryl's dart? that is what this thread was started for.

i would like to see over the next few years the rest of the missing pieces fit in the puzzle to close out the dart controversy, look it has been well over 4 years this has been going on, and the amount of information disclosed is amazing at worst!!!!!! i really hope someone is savy enough to take all of what is here and right a book about these cars, it would certainly be a complete history .
