Daryl,

Rufus 'Brooklyn Heavy' Boyd

In 1970, the car was running in Pro/Stock.

By the end of the year, 'Brooklyn Heavy' put it up 'For Sale'. The car was prepped
by Joe Jill of 'Speedwin Automotive'.

I 'do not' believe this was the same car as the S & K Hemi Dart 'The Avenger' that 'The Mutt Brothers' owned.

I heard they bought this Barracuda from Sox & Martin, so whose was it originally or was it a new car built for them.

You have just thrown me a curve ball with the below post. I thought it would be the same car. If not, where did this one come from????.What leads you to think he had 2??.
As you know "Heavy" usually bought high profile cars for his racing stable.

A few things about that '68 Hemi Dart photo now with 'Pro' on windshield...

- Those rear wheels & tires look pretty large to fit the stock wheel wheels...so did they split the wheel houses or cut the trunk floors for wheel tubs.

- Didn't someone say earlier on that your L023 had a funky looking hood scoop on it before the restoration.

- I can't make out the lettering on the door, anyone.

I don't believe there will be anything in common with this car & mine. Heavy's car being a "PRO" car will more than likely be a stick car. My car has never had a third pedal in it.
Yes, there is RUMOUR of my car having another hood scoop on it with the owner having the nickname "Two Scoop Lido", but untill I can confirm it, I'm leaving it as RUMOUR .

Liteweight: Alot of legal SS cudas and darts were raced as pro stockers at local level events with minor upgrade changes that were easy to change back for class legal SS events. At Brainerd and Mn Dragways there were novas and cudas that received larger tires and tunnel rams for the weekend to fill out a 16 car pro stock field.

Danny, nice shot of 'The Old Trapper'...

Does anyone remember which '68 Hemi Dart this one was...

I seem to remember a few people here talking about two being sold out of western Canada...

One was the Old Trapper car sold out of Chinook Chrysler...

The other one being the Demented Dart...

70) Chinook Dart
Calgary, Canada
SS/BA (Automatic)

71) Cam Noseworthy
Edmonton, Canada
SS/BA (Automatic)
