Does anybody know where this picture was taken? Maybe could ID the Camaro, maybe it’s owner or past owners would know who’s dart it was?It’s a longshot but hey, I’m sure you’ve been down that road before. Good luck on your search! Bob

Charlie,
Was Joe Ralph Thompson the original owner of this Dart?
It seems that all of the pictures I have seen of the car are from 1970 when it was running P/S - seems like I have also seen it in M/P. At the US Nationals (or maybe the World Finals ) in 1968 he had the 65 car.
Thanks,
Mark Janaky

Yes he was. Number 43 on original owners list. Gene Graham was usually driving it

Certain I am missing something here. What does that link have to do with the JRT. Dart I was referring to???

Old man here is missing the connection.

I have messaged JRT’s daughter and invited her over to the topic for clarification.

Joe Ralph Thompson was the original owner of the Dodge Dart. It was picked up at the Factory in Detroit.

From what I know no original owners list has showed up. I do have a Chrysler list of the supposed first 50 Darts & Barracudas in no particular order - no VINs. I am not trying to be rude but if you are referring to Paul Ceserine's list, it is not complete nor 100% correct.

The reason I ask about the JRT Dart is there are a few cars that we assume people were the original owners of but when you actually talk to these owners - sometimes you find out differently.

Another car that I wonder about is the Charlie Lendrum Dart - I also have never see a picture of this car before 1970 - the cars is typically running P/S. Was he actually the original owner?

Understood.
Hoping my invite to JRT’ s daughter will at the minimum clarify his LO23.
No doubt the record keepers in 1968 had no idea how much it would matter now. “Who’s on (owned) first?” Lol
A little Abbot and Costello humor there .
