Weren't the Hemi Darts built at Demmer Tool and Die? Same place that built the Hurst Olds, the Super Stock AMC cars, striped some of the Yenko Deuces, and did a bunch of other low volume cars.

Joe, the Darts, and mant other cars including the mid seventies Trans Ams T-Roofs were done at Hurst Performance, Brighton, Michigan, owned by Don Leith, vice president Dick Chrysler who ended up coming up with a better T-Roof design and running Hurst performance out of business to open Cars and Concepts right down the road. The same year as the Hemi Dart was also the same year of the silver and black first Hurst Olds, 1968. Motown [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Joe,after thinking some more about it I would say you may be correct with the motion Vega.I was reluctant to call them a mfg but the federal gov. did. Right?Where would the AMC S/S AMX fall?Car Craft give away cars,same concept as the Mopars an all the rest.Great topic,where would you draw the line as to "factory".Big three or all of the conversion cars included,Hurst,Demmer,Cars and Concepts,Motion,ect....There were some insane cars built before regulations and such.Think what might have happened if Big Brother had not gotten involved.

If Big Brother had not got involved we would be like the coyote in the roadrunner cartoon, we would be flying along on a acme rocket ship that I am sure would be catching the roadrunners. Motown [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
