My old Hemi Dart is famous...and I never knew it!
Nothing like finding out you owned one of Dick Landy's cars long after you sold it! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif
The thread started out with someone looking for a link to Steve Juliano's 70's psychadelia/car collection but mistakenly confusing it with me and my old cars. So thanks to an alert by one of the guys here (442w30) I chimed in and quashed some of the old longstanding rumors. I posted some original as-found before and after resto photos of some of my old cars. One of them was this 1968 Hemi Dart. A real LO23 car that was way too much of a race car for me to restore. I'm glad I didn't, because the guy who eventually did restore it found out it was one of Dick Landy's cars. Here's the link. The reveal is on page 3: http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...part=1&vc=1 http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/r...b/LO23dart.jpg http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/r...8b/LO23vin.jpg and how about this - the original warranty Certicard for a car that was sold without a warranty! http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/r...3certicard.jpg and the odometer with 1/4 mile on it: http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/r...b/LO23dash.jpg |

Just googled "Dick Landy Hemi Dart" and came up with the Car Craft story on the car.
http://www.carcraft.com/featuredvehi...hra/index.html Glad to see the car got restored correctly. I sold it because it was just too tubbed amd mod'ed to restore on my skill level at the time. It needed and entire floor from the mid-firewall to the tail lights. It was totally tubbed out, even the tranny tunnel was gone. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif |

Why wait for the grandkids to confirm it. I showed this photo to my kids while I was digging pictures out to post on the Moparts site. They laughed hysterically and the boy says: "Nice hairdo, Dad!" I responded proudly: "It's not a "hairdo"...it's a Mullet, Dammit...and it's your heritage!" https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/r...-6Cuda1985.jpg |
