Im thinking the bars are period correct honestly, they are mounted from shock plate to an eye just in front of the spring hanger. Like a leaf link, not a Caltrac.

Pretty sure the leaf link came out later than the D Dart did.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Shelby's used over riders, mounted above the leaf. Didn't work so well though.

Suppose to be the original Johnny Lightning dart. It's an actual LO23, I've seen it in person. This car has been riding the auction for quite some time. The guy that knows the particulars on the car runs a registry for the D/Darts. His name is Alan and goes by the handle ddartdude. his e-mail is ddartdude@aol.com More information on this site http://www.seriousviewers.com/D-Dart/ddart.htm

It is the same car. Many years ago I was sent photos of the VIN and fender tag. They are from a D/Dart. I'm not sure if the body has any stampings on it....on the radiator support or the package shelf.
I don't think it has a correct D/Dart engine in it.
The shifter is from a floor console car. Probably used to get it a little closer to the driver. When I was checking the car out in Seattle I couldn't find any body stampings. The paint on the rad support had some pretty thick paint. The trunk wasn't open so I couldn't look there.

The numbers are stamped on the radiator support and on the package shelf between the driver side rear speaker hole and the back glass. I couldn't find any rad support numbers and of course I couldn't see the package tray.

It would be really cool, IMO, to be able to own and run a true vintage car in today's current historic road races... I often go to Road America to watch the cars race in their vintage wknds... its really cool.
Someone should buy this DDart and start racing it again... as it was intended from its original hey-day.
PS - I've been to FastLane Cars a few times (just north of St. Louis)...a really cool place with many high-quality cars for sale... and most at reasonable prices.
