John rivers Hemi dart
In regards to john rivers Hemi dart. I know the Original owner of that factory SS dart. Was bought by a man by the name of Fred Carr out of the white bear dodge dealer in Minnesota. He raced the car at twin city speedway and set the track record on his first pass. He never painted the car he ran it in the factory primer. Only had the car a short time before selling it. I have specific details on the car and how it was when he drove it home. I was wondering if anyone had any info on the car after john rivers was killed during a drug deal. Was told that his girlfriend at the time sold the car and trailer for 800$. Just wondering what happens to the car or if it's still around

I think he used to have pics of it. I still have to do more searching. But I can't seen to find anything before or after the john rivers guy owned it

Re: John rivers Hemi dart
I thought John purchased his Dart new from Van Dyke Dodge 7/25/68. Was to be picked up at the Hurst lot. I have a copy of the Retail Buyers Order that a man here in Atlanta had with some papers on the 2 darts he owned. I have no way of knowing if this paper is correct. It is a double sided copy with T&C on the back. Salesman was Kevin B and manager was Al Frankin or Franklin or something close. Has the Vin but I don't want to list it here. One of Bobs Darts was owned at one time by Craig Jackson but I don't know which one and Bob is no longer with us.

A while back a guy on moparts said the John Rivers Dart was in Florida and was for sale. The Dart was supposedly called 'Dart Vader'.

Re: John rivers Hemi dart
Off the Johnny Rivers topic but...Dean Tait himself in this link states his was a "Dick Landy" car.
