Al Ripolla said that,

Pete was offered the LO23 Dart {Automatic} that was 'under-wraps' at the Chrysler Fleet Service Garage.

The reason that the Dart was there, is because it was supposed to be part of a Photo Shoot with either 'Speed and Supercar' or 'Hi Performance Cars' magazine.

Al said Pete paid for and picked up the Hemi Super Stock Dart sometime in April 1968, but Al couldn't remember the exact date.

Al said he wasn't sure of the exact Purchase Price, but it was somewhere around $4500, and the Dart was definitely an Automatic.

A little confused on the deal with a guy that owned a Hemi Charger in 1966, but was a member of the Motion SuperCar Club????? Did he also own some Bowtie's???

So, maybe my "shot in the dark comment" a few posts back on that one photo being a photo shoot for the Motion boys, may not have been too far off the mark then huh??

If this was in fact a photo shoot rather than a random picture, there's gonna be more pics. out there somewhere with someone.

How's that Mr. Holmes.

ps good to get confirmation that this car was an Automatic

Daryl,


The Motion Supercar Club wasn't only restricted to 'Chevy Guys' in
1967 and 1968.

Jimmy Boyd who ran a 1968 Barracuda 340 was a 'charter member'.

As was Larry Fiorello, who ran a 1964 Plymouth 426 Max-Wedge
4-Speed.
