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 .

Charlie,
I hope she does stop by, I have been curious about whether JRT was the original owner of this Dart. Thanks.

I knew JRT pretty well. He personally told me that he was the original owner. He bought it from Mr. Norm.

Mark I too have not found any pics of the Landrum Dart previous to it running PS. Thought a couple were. Good question.
