Original hemi dart information

1,355.000+ views. Seems like there's still lots of interest in these old cars if not more than ever. Wonder if there's an easy way to see how many different posters actually have posted on this thread. That's got to be a record for views on a single thread.

I remember when it was hitting the 100,000 pinnacle. That seemed like a huge number at that time.

I wish Photobucket would give back all the pictures they are holding hostage.

Photobucket has hit so many forums, and so much has been lost. Pics that were posted by folks no longer with us, etc. Not sure how this works but posting on other forums (eg. HAMB) can be done without the hassle of photo hosting outfits like this. It's why I haven't posted anything here. Are there any administrators for this forum listening as Liteweight's thread has obviously brought a lot of traffic for this forum's advertisers. Pics that are easy to contribute and stay there will keep on serving the advertisers and those who contribute for years to come.

I agree that the Photobucket situation is frustrating, to say the least. All of the dead links/photos... such a shame.


I did start using Flickr, which is free, and pretty easy to use.

Photobucket has probably lost a lot of their members, or the members that are still with them such as myself do not frequent the site very often since their "restructuring".
Their $500.00 USD membership fee PER YEAR to enable people to share full size pictures.to third party forums such as this just is not justified. I have noticed in the last few years Photobucket became a very frustrating site to spend any time on due to the amount of pop ups and junk that came up on screen every time you changed pages there. As I see it they will slowly become just another extinct web site.The advertisers will be seeing the lack of traffic.
This thread with all its visitors and contributors has had the opposite effect. This thread which will surpass 1,500,000 views in the next few months has got to be the only live thread EVER to be on the WWW to have the faithfull following this one has.. That in itself says a lot.
I totally agree with Marfen.. It seems advertisers never seem to be a problem here and I am sure they pay a premium for their product to be shown here.
It would be in the best of everyone who visits this website including advertisers if there were some way of storing full size pictures here from personal files and collections .
Administrators are you paying attention?????

So, in my continuing quest of finding new pictures for both my dart and others on the old WWW I happen to run into the original owner of a Hemi Dart, Rick Kent. He was kind enough to send me a bunch of pictures he has of it from back in the day.
I have invited Rick over here to add a few words or stories on this neat old car.

This is the silver car that went through a restoration over at Moshers

Just too cool!
Seems like a whole new phase of this topic has begun.
"New" pictures from so long ago to continue the history report on these special build cars.
Congrats Daryl.
Look what you started. 😎
