Re: new 68 hemi dart
No '69 Hemi Darts, but there were '69 440 GTS cars built by Hurst that year. All were raced in '69, and factory cars often received "facelifts" to make them current. I have a picture of Shirley Shahan's Drag On Lady Dart with a '69 grille. I'm pretty sure the Sox and Martin '68 Hemi Barracuda was updated to '69 trim, and I'm sure Landy was given the parts as well. Sox and Martin's '67 Belvedere RO23 was trimmed out as a GTX, per Chrysler's marketing concerns. AMC had a changeover kit to turn the '69 SS AMX's into '70's. I know that sometimes the governing bodies didn't accept the updated sheetmetal for certain class requirements.
