1968 Dodge Darts (Factory SS/EA 440's)

[Paul Ceasrine]

Looks like some of the resposnses on this thread are getting
close to the 'red line'.

And many of the magazine articles do print incorrect information
on the 68 Darts with the 440.

Fact,,,,,,,,automatics only from the factory

Hemi Moose,

Notice on Dick Landy,s Dart.
Still has the full exhaust system (circa 1968) with chrome-tipped extensions.
Hooker fenderwell headers.
Drum brakes too.

That car won the Total Points in Super/Stock for 1968.
With Bob Lambeck at the helm, they won 7 or 8 straight
Super/Stock Points meets on the west coast.

Eventually ran 11.60's in 1968.

Nice photo
Ron Mancini 68' 'Bee Leaver' at the 1968 Springnationals.

Unfortunately in the SS/EA Class Championship.
Lance Hill in his 68' 396/325 HP Camaro coupe edged Ron's Dart
for the Class Trophy.

Lance got him with a 'holeshot'.
Ron was 'tad' late on the lights at Englishtown.

Here's another shot of Landy's 68 440 Dart GTS in the pits along with the back end of his 68 Hemi Dart, notice the difference in the wheel well openings of both cars.

Can't forget some of the others, this is Charlie Allen's 1968 440 Dart GTS, although it still has the 383 emblems on the fender. Does anyone here know when they made the motor swap.

Both cars are WAY UP THERE ON THE COOL-O-METER (per Bob Frey)...I'd be happy racing either of them!!!
