1968 NHRA Winternationals


The 1968 Dart GTS took the SS/EA Class.


Both Dick Landy and Butch Leal shared driving duties.


The Dart took down several 'factory-prepped' 1968 Ford
Mustang 428 Cobra Jets and Camaro SS396 cars.

The 15" Cragar S/S Wheels with the 4" Bolt-Pattern for the A-Body
Mopars were not part of the Cragar Catalog.


Special Order only back then.
