Saw this car come up on a SVRA sponsored race from 2023.Trans Am 1967 Yellow Dart, #18, Gary Underwood- driver. Anyone have any info on this car/ It's supposed to be the old Ron Grable dart that he ran in 1967-9 in A-Sedan SCCA class and other classes. It started out a 67. But converted to a 68

I'm surprised I don't seem to have any on track pics of the car over the years at the historic races at Sebring. Here are interior pics, a little uncomfortable IMO relative to today's safety standards. It was a mid pack car in the races if I remember correctly, but I was highly suspicious of how many front runners were actually loose rule breaking stroker small blocks.

My first question would be what is that boxed area above the rear end seen in the attached above pic.? It doesn't look large enough for any third link.

I see the yellow Dart running at Road America pretty much every year for the HAWK Brian Redman Vintage races (mid-July... every year). Its a cool car with true vintage history.

From what I have seen as a spectator, the driver knows the car's limits well, and the engine also helps in that regard, of not getting over the edge, so that would be a qualified Yes.
