Original hemi dart information

Mopar 68,

We travelled down that 'Avenue' also.

Tim Hennessey was 'told' that the Dart was Charlie Castaldo's.

Charlie's 'first Dart'; was a 4-Speed, and was sent to a salvage yard in Hunts Point (The Bronx), in 1969.

I was (jokingly) referring to Charlie's second car.

Did anyone ever consider, since "sometimes the obvious is right in front of me, and I just cannot see it", the Hemi Dart in question is not an original Hurst-built car like Fink's machine pictured below? I know that's unthinkable but sometimes one must think the "unthinkable", i.e., outside the box, when trying to solve a problem, figure something out, especially something puzzling, etc.

I can't make out whos' Dart this is at Seattle around '75,, at the Fallnationals, lining up along side of Larry Torres' '67 Nova. Hopefully someone here knows. My eyes are getting bad.

Hemi D 68,

Regarding the Preston Honea / Ray Rixman SS/BA Dart.

Kwik-Way Speed Engineering (out of St. Louis, Missouri) did the
prep work on that car.

In 1968, it ran primarily in AHRA {S/S Eliminator) Events.

Lost to Herb McAndless at the AHRA World Finals at Kansas City
International Raceway in October 1968.
