I know this may be a long shot here but there was a car featured in a Mopar Muscle article from back in the late 90s, like '98 maybe? I'd have to go dig for it to see exactly which issue.
Anyway, it was a black and silver '65 Dart 'bracket racer turned street machine' from the Lakeland, Fl. area which apparently used to be lettered 'Nightmare'. Had a small block, bolt on hood scoop and Cragar mags. I always refer back to it, I thought it was really cool, despite the scoop. Anyone have any idea if that car is still around? Would like to see more of it.

I'm going to race it in the 2014 season. The plan is to update the chassis & cage where needed ertaining it externally, and mostly internally too, the same as it was in the pics. At the time it had a 340 with a four speed, C-body 8 3/4" with leaf springs and long & low ladder bars. I have teh major parts for putting it together, currently missing the flywheel, and the rest of the clutch stuff. It will be pretty much the same it was, a W2 headed 340 but this time with a Doug Nash 5 speed.
Here, if it works, is a small video of Finnish Drag Racing from the early 80's where this car is in the very beginning. http://yle.fi/elavaarkisto/artikkelit/drag_racea_1980-luvulla_33895.html#media=33904
