After the Hemi dart he went with the injected Nova called "Grumpafoot"

I checked my copy of "The Hurst Heritage." It says the 1968 Hurst conversion cars were built at Demmer in Lansing Mich. Cars and Concepts was founded in 1976 and bought out Hurst in 1982.

Joe, the Hurst Olds cars were built in Lansing as Oldsmobile was in Lansing which made it covienient for the conversions, however Chrysler was based in Detroit and Brighton just happens to be halfway betwwen Detroit and Lansing, the Darts were built in brighton at Hurst Performance, which may or may not have been a subsiderary of Demmer, but they were definatly built in Brighton. You are correct about the rise of C&C and the fall of Hurst, they were a few miles apart and the founder of C&C was the fprmer VP of Hurst, Dick Chrysler, who had a better product and thus the end of Hurst. Dick Chrysler eventually sold the company to the employees and went on to become a Congressman. Don Leith who was the president of Hurst still lives in the Brighton/Howell area and also has one of the original Darts from the Brighton plant. My old car is in Howell belonging to a friend of mine, Norbert. Motown [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Just got in !!Real 1968 SuperStocker Dart (LO)For Sale
Hemi Crate motor and all the real goodies. Documented by Galen as a real Lo Dart

[MotownMadman]

How much? Whats the numbers? Motown

[55chevy]

The '64 A/FX lightweight 427 Falcon was built to, I believe, run down Thunderbolts and Hemi Darts and Barracudas and hand their ass back to them.. I believe less than a handfull were built but they were done the same way the Thunderbolt was. So they would be considered factory as well.

[MotownMadman]

If we are considering non titled factory race cars as the Dart, you are absolutly correct, except the Falcon was a 65 and it was fiberglass. In 64 Dyno Don ran a factory Prepared A/FX Comet which set NHRA records. Dons best time was 10:56, the falcon turned in a best time of 9:80. In retrospect to these factory prepared cars I am now of the opinion that they should not be included in the fastest musclecar catagory as they were not allowed for street use. So guys, what is the quickest delivered from factory to dealer to customer, not including dealer built cars? Motown [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]
