The latest issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines,, a "bonus issue" for subscribers, has a great article on a pair of '68 Hemi cars,,, the Jim Keyes Dart and the Keyes & Lewis Cuda. A couple of very nice cars. No history is provided on the Dart in the story prior to Keyes' acquisition,, but the Cuda is the former Centolanza Bros. car. The Dart is still dressed in '70s attire, and the Cuda is more contemporary and up to date.
This special issue should be on the stands soon and is worth checking out.

This is the Dart that set me down this path of wheelstanding stock bodied obsession. John Friel owned the class back in the early to mid 90s.

a990hemi, I've always liked John Friel's L023 '68 Hemi Dart as well, I still remember his old blue & white paint job on this car too, but I haven't seen or heard much of him in the past several years...does anyone here know him personally or talked with him lately, if so please fill us in.

Here's an interesting quote that I found in another thread on the forums...

Oh yeah ...the GM 12 bolt frees up some valuable friction but it's quite costly to purchase one that's been tricked out properly.

I asked which car is the Parrilo & Cerrone and they wouldn't say. I have the original paperwork from the Harris cars and the VIN's do not match so I would say that it is actually the Gaudreau car.
