Original hemi dart information

[Charlie A]

Too quiet on this thread. Over a month and no activity.
Don't know if this one has been here or not but, it's sort of a TTT bump as well.

From the '06 Barrett-Jackson:

1968 Hemi Dart. One of the few remaining original 1968 Hemi Dodge Darts, this is number 5 of 56 in
the Chrysler Registry. Formerly owned by Lou Mancini of Mancini Racing and the Chrysler
Corporation, this original was fitted with a 426 hemi engine and automatic transmission installed
by the Hurst Corporation. It is a true, unmolested and unrestored survivor with documented history.
It is capable of being street driven as evident by its Pennsylvania inspection sticker. It has
never been raced or altered. These cars have been deemed "the ultimate muscle car" and " the only
car worth selling your house for" by some. Final selling price including buyer's fee: $324,000.

Wish we knew! It looks like someone ordered a stick Dart from Dependable Dodge in Vero Beach, Fla. and I see DD are still in business. Wonder if they have records pre computer era. I just may give them a ring.


Off the original list (car list from Hurst),

An Automatic car went to Joe Weis, which was
delivered to Biscayne Dodge in Miami Beach.

A 4-Speed was purchased by Alan Carroli, which was picked up at the Hurst Facility.

And, a 4-Speed car was ordered by Dependable Dodge out of Vero Beach, but no name was logged on the order.

Would you happen to know the last six digits of the car from the Hurst list...also does it list any other L023 & B029 serial numbers.

Don't have the time for that unfortunately. It's all taken for family.
