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.

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...

I am aware that these cars bounced around class to class including Mod/Prod & Pro Stock . And altho some of the mods needed to be competitive in those classes were easy to convert back to SS, changing an auto car back to an auto while leaving no traces of having a stick in it is not so easy to cover up.
Besides the obvious hole in the floor needed for shifter clearance, there needed to be a bracket welded to the DS front frame rail to support the outer clutch or Z bar pivot.
What I was trying to say in my previous post is that my car has never had the floor modified for a stick & it's never had that bracket welded to the frame either.
So, it's never had a 4 spd. or clutchflite in it.

Daryl:
My thought was for you not to pass up an opportunity to check out a car in a photo just because of the PRO on the windshield or larger tires does not make it a true PS car because I am sure some automatic equiped cars were run as a PS for local PS booked in shows that did not fill the field. I was not questioning your car because you know what you have.
