I sold it back in 1989, but I had an original 1968 Hemi Dart Super Stock car with 1/4 mile on the odometer. Neat car but very modified and fully tubbed, so I sold it to someone who could restore it properly.

I guess it was towed from the dealership?, This has to have a good story behind it, lets hear it..

Apparently, since it was an original, it was also "very modified and fully tubbed" from the dealership

An "original" hemi dart would mean that it was one of the actual batch of 75 or so Hemi Darts built by Hurst for Chrysler Corporation back in '68, for Super Stock racing. Modified in this case means that it was cut and hacked to accomodate all the stuff that made it competitive even after 20 years of racing. I believe that when they were delivered to the racers from the factory, they did not have any speedometer cables. My car was a four speed and the aluminum cased, A-833 four speed trans had a steel plug in the speedo gear hole, so there was nothing to hook the cable up to.

I guess it also stopped right at the finish line and was air-lifted home...

My car from last year.

About 21,450 now. I drive it weekly from April til the end of Oct. It had 14K when I got it 11 years ago.
Now I'm getting depressed about the storage thing.

Looks like it needs a steering column too.
