Daryl/Paul,
You know I was looking at the pictures that I have of the Manhatten Speed Shop Dart and I noticed something. I always assumed that the car was in primer because the pics are B&W but the car is painted - as delivered the hood and fenders were black & blue gelcoat - the fenders are painted. Many of the early cars Shirley Shahan, Bill Tanner and others were originally shipped without hoods - you will see some pictures where the hoods look black. The hoods were shpped whenthey were available. Note that the Manhatten Dart has a black hood. Possibly an early car?? Daryl are you smiling yet? .
I know that someone said that the car was a SS/B but I have seen nowhere where the car actually had a class designation on it. I think that this is a car that bears further investigation.

I'm up to it. Where can we start??? Can you either post the pix you have on it or send them to my personal email please? Posted might be a better option, as the pix might jog someones memory.
As far as smiling yet, there have been alot of leads we have pursued, & until I get a lil more info that is promising, I'll wait. But believe me when the time comes, you won't be able to wipe the smile off my face .
