Re: Original hemi dart information
 

It was given to Joe Ort from Biscayne Dodge in Miami. He was a policeman and did his own racing and engine work. The picture in primer was the day it was delivered. He painted it red and named it the Deadly Dart. Later the second owner (Warfel) painted it gold and called it the Scat Pack Dodge.

Have one of the King Beast Scat Pack Dodge T-shirts. Now I know why it says LA and not FL on the shirt. I never really looked at the # and name on the car on the shirt. Just thought Glen had been in LA before FL. I knew Glen from Div ll and had some dealings with him when I lived in Jacksonville after the Army.

This is a very little known of or seen L023 forwarded to me by long time member Buck Scottley. It was known as a street racer in Chicago many years ago. I have no other information on it other than its an original car so I thought I would post it here to see what comes up of it.

"Butch" Johnson still owns the Run-a-gate Hemi Dart in Chicago. It was for sale a couple years ago for $500K, so it is not going anywhere anytime soon. 4-speed car, he used to bring it out to shows around Chicago but hasn't for at least 25 years...

Thanx Jimbo
It was posted by his nephew that he does still own it and it was a regular at street racing events there. Any other photos of it. Looks like a very uncut car

I posted the pic of the Dart and blue Camaro in a Vintage Camaro Drag Racing group on FB.

John is referring to the photo in the pits of New York National Speedway in mid 70s. I made contact with the guy that took that photo and am waiting on the response. BTW that photo was posted on facebook on a Camaro page. Something I havent tried before. Thanx John

Yeah I wondered if anyone would recognize the Camaro... Sometimes folks who pit next to each other are buddies.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

I talked to that guy a couple of years ago. He said that was his first time at NY National. He was actually taking a picture of the camaro and didn't remember anything about the Dart.
