It was only lettered 'later',

Mainly, because Pete had purchased so many parts from this Speed Shop and Parts Store, that he lettered the Dart with >
'Manhattan Speed Shop' on the front fender as a courtesy and appreciation.

This LO23 'original' Factory Hemi Dart was an 'Automatic'.

Though this photo was published in Speed and Supercar {December 1968}

This photo {below} was from much earlier in 1968.

The Dart is 'not' lettered, and is 'not' brandishing any Decals.

Was the Dart from bay ridge?
Have been inquiring from a friend who tells me of all the hemi cars the were around wayyy back in time. A multi color dart from Flatbush was very feared he said. It was a different one than the mutt bros aka sk speed dart.
I can't wait till we know true history of Daryl Dart.
There were many cars in Brooklyn at that time I've heard
