Re: Original hemi dart information
Not much to see on this car xept the left over red on the quarter & blue tinted windows. This car IS the Don Carlton /Sox & Martin car taken about 12 years ago. It had repaired damage done on the front clip from a towing accident. Rumour has it the car fell off the trailer. This is not the first car. liteweight Last edited by Liteweight; 03-12-2012 at 03:57 PM. |

I also see traces of baby blue paint on the lower trunk edge just above where the license plate would go...Now as for who's car it was originally, I think I just answered my own question...it is Don Carlton's 'Lil Thumper' baby blue B029 '68 Hemi Barracuda. .

Re: Original hemi dart information
Don Grotheer,,,,,
Set the SS/B National Record at Louisiana Pel State Dragstrip in June 1968. 10.91 @ 131.19 MPH The BO29 Hemi Barracuda's and LO23 Hemi Darts were declared legal for Super Stock by the NHRA on June 1, 1968 (1 week before the 1968 NHRA Springnationals). The NHRA had to confirm that at least 50 of each car was properly documented and owned by a drag racer or dealership, and that the car was in their possession.
