Yes, a Dart, hope it will look like this again one day...

We also made a modern Challenger S&M car and raffled it off...

It almost looks like the one we had. Ours was the first built by Greg Fernald of SS/AFX and we (Mr. Norms Garage) sold it to Greg Nelson after having it for several years. Was originally a 69 Formula S 340 and when Fernald did it he painted it orange, we did the S&M scheme. I drove the crap out...

Why? Can't just disagree, what did he do to you?

Here is the real answer, Chrysler never had the Yes indeed, Chrysler never had the letter OH in their lettering system, they had the closest thing they could use which is the number ZERO. Look at a 68 fender tag, do you see OH's anywhere?

Al Debevic is THE MAN!

Need a price or the mods will delete it...

L023, don't know the reasoning behind the MSO issue...

The above reply is correct. The VIN only appears on the dash and broadcast sheet. There were no other VIN numbers even on the engine and trans in a Hemi Dart or Barracuda. Regular production 68 vehicles had the VIN on the bell housing rail and automatic trans at the top between the starter and...

He is on his way to the MCACN show in Chicago right now, probably won't be home until mid next week...

Who did you buy the plate from? There is another plastic tray also. Jim Kramer sells those parts and can tell you how they are mounted. www.kramerauto.com

I was curious about the trans I found in my stash last weekend and it is a 1976 cast iron A-Body 23 spline trans! I thought pretty much every trans was aluminum by then, that's what I get for thinking! Came out of an A-Body for sure, 6B457151 it looks like, must have been a 360 Dart Sport or...

Thanks for the pics! I recently bought another Hustle Stuff A-Body Hemi 4-speed. The one that started this thread looks to be a 4-speed overdrive unit from 1976 converted to a Hemi 4-speed with the 10,000 day calendar date that new, which is January 28, 1976 (5297)

And before that the L0 D-Darts, still used the number zero in the VIN as there was never a letter "O" available. No other cars used this VIN except super stock cars, so the consensus is as far as I can see that the VIN had to use the number 0 although in reality it is the letter O...

If you read my reply I came to that conclusion also. Still it is a ZERO on the VIN plate...cannot refute that...

OK, I found an original document in my files, and it does say "O" for the VIN. It really does not matter what the second digit or letter is as stated above, it is obviously a "0" as it matches the font for a ZERO. If indeed you go with the narrative that the second space in the VIN is always a...

Having said all that, I will play devil's advocate with myself. There was never an O anything on VIN's or fender tags, take a look at a 68 fender tag and there is no O on either number line, so it may very will be that they did not have an O available to them to stamp out the VIN tags! Here is...

Original VIN on Bob Lambecks car, looks like a ZERO to me...

I own an original 68 Hemi Dart and have seen the VIN's on dozens of L0 and B0 cars. I was told by Tom Hoover at the Mopars at the Strip show a couple years before he died that they wanted to make sure the Super Stock cars had a unique VIN. I have never seen any Chrysler documentation on this...

Yes, so should the D-Darts, but people still want to use the letter "O" instead of the number "0" like you just did...

Vin is L023 and talking to Mr. Norm he said it was done on purpose. And for the thousandth time, the VIN numbers are actually LZERO23 and BZERO29, these cars were the only ones ever done with a NUMBER in the second position of the VIN instead of a letter...

And the price, cheaper than any other dealership...

GSD Hemi Dart info and warranty sheets...

Original MSO for my car. Note that it says LS23 ala GTS, but is an original Hemi Dart. One way to get around the titling issue...LOL

Yes, I was involved in getting the radiators reproduced. Bob was pissed when they said they threw the dies away because he didn't order anymore in a timely manner. The radiator in this car is not the original, looks to be a 69 style. Don't know what the sticker said as the hood was not off the...

They forgot to add that the doors and front bumper were acid dipped to reduce weight...

I forgot to mention learning how to drive it also! My car was a factory 4-speed but it only lasted a couple of races before the original owner put an automatic in it...

11.20's right out of the box, but that is with slicks and a thorough thrashing to make sure everything was done correctly and a little more safety stuff thrown at it, low tens with a weekend of work...

Yes, the Hurst dual gate is the original shifter that was used in these cars...

They are on the trans picture above on post #5...
