1968 Hemi Dart

[427TJ]

Corporate suits are just as much of an obstacle to outrageous production cars as the gummint is. Ford was even hesitant to build the Mustang in 1964. The '64 GTO was snuck past the suits too. GM's racing ban came from the front office. Hemi Darts got out because the horsepower wars were profitable but you'll note they didn't build any for the street. Let's not forget insurance companies and their influence on what gets built. Insurance companies had as much, or more, to do with the end of the musclecar era in 1970-71 as gummint regulations did.
