Are you talking about Pauline?? You have to be. '68 383 4-speed Dart GTS. I had that car in Building T at Carlisle in 2011. Awesome car and a super cool lady! I knew she took it to MCACN a couple of years after Carlisle but I didn't know she sold it. I remember her telling me that she had it fully restored but was leaving the Cragars on it for personal reasons related to her late husband. I thought that was pretty cool of her.

I just saw this commercial over the weekend and had no idea that I knew the car personally shock

I used to own a '68 Dart with the same color paint. It was just a 318 automatic, but it was an original Arizona desert car.... ZERO rust! That was the cleanest Mopar! By the time I bought it, in the mid 90's the car had one repaint, most likely due to the Arizona sun taking it's toll on the original paint. I forget what the color is called, but I really liked it. I sold that car to help fund my first house purchase. Wish I could have kept it, since it was so dry and solid.
