Manhattan Speed Parts '1968 Hemi Dart'

[Paul Ceasrine]

1968 Modified Production

Yes, the NHRA required the same 'stupid' rule.

Exhaust pipes were required, and replacement production-type Mufflers had to be 18" in length.

The Mufflers had to be placed in the 'stock location', or if
they were originally installed behind the Rear-Axle, they
could be re-positioned in front of the Axle.

The Exhaust Outlets had to exit equal to the center-line
of the Rear-Axle.

Here is the Motion Performance A/MP 1968 Camaro.

That is a very awesome picture. Nice find. Wonder if there was any gold dust involved for the hook? doesn't look like it tho.

Photo is from April 1968

Check out the Oldsmobile 4-4-2 'W-30' {Outside Air Induction}
Air-Scoops under the front-bumper.

The 'SS' Hood was later changed to a Fiberglass 'Stinger Hood'.

Nope and nope. It was "Super John" McFadden vs. Ron Lyles' driving the "Mutt Bros." ex-S & K Speed Shop Hemi Dart.
