My understanding, from years of reading posts here, is that HEMI cars were supposed to get them but thanks to Chrysler's legendary build quality in that era not all did. There are also lowly slant 6 cars that somehow got them from the factory when they weren't supposed to.
No longer taking $h!t from anyone!

Why do all that work, and then leave the MSD box visible?
Was the MSD factory correct? I think not.

No pics of a FT or BS in the ad. If a car still has either, I would want to include them if were selling a high dollar ride. Maybe he's hiding the fact the code for the MSD and the slappers isn't on them. Why put a Mr Norms Sport Club sticker on a Plymouth?

I have seen several 1968 cars without them but not 1969s.
....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!

I agree to a point, but because it is an AT car the guys on the line may have blown it off. Then again, there is something strange with this car. While we're ripping the car, let me add that the stainless steel, or aluminum, painted leaf springs doesn't work for me. Who ever built it had that laying around I guess, instead of buying cast iron color.

Add to that the front sway bar and lower control arms. They would have looked better sprayed low gloss black.

Front torque boxes? On a 'B' body?
Yes, but should be on convertibles only (Hemi and non Hemi Convertibles). However, I have seen at least one 68 Hemi Super Bee that originally came with fronts, but get this....No rears!

Well I guess no fronts on Hemi, my Coronet R/T has them.. but no roof...
