Hey Charlie
Absolutely nothing!!!! Still searching daily for photos of it mostly on facebook since lots of people post their pics they have just found in a drawer or something. Even looking in the background of staging lanes and pits etc. Your right. Its like it just isnt out there after 1968 for whatever reason. Prolly got parked due to mechanical destruction or the owner himself just made it invisable from a ugly divorce or he passed or???????? The search continues

Speaking of the Fink Dart. Does anybody have a copy of the picture of it on the back bumper, that was in National Dragster? I had one hanging up in my shop, and it has got so old, it basically disintegrated! I'd like to find a copy to put back up.
Thanks Dan

I have often wondered about this one. In the stripped down picture of your car it had a silver paint job if I remember correctly. And the dent in front of the rear bumper may have left a spot you might be able to still see. Did we ever identify this one? There was another picture of it parked next to a motel somewhere in this thread.

And if you look at where the dark blue is on the sides and the roof, it matches where the paint is removed from the car being stripped. Not to mention the now famous quarter panel repair.
And, if you look close enough, you can see a double exposed picture of the r/r wheel opening / quarter panel back to the bumper.

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

Hey Bob
the photo of the Dart in the pits beside the Camaro has been looked into by me trying to ID that car. I have searched for more photos of that Camaro also on east coast based racetracks trying to get more info. I think this was at New York National speedway but cant confirm.
the photo of the stripped down Dart is definitely my car during the early 80's when Lou Vignognia owned it. He commissioned Paul Pittman to paint it white. I contacted Paul several years ago and he found these photos of it and sent them to me.
