Nostalgia Super Stock/Pro Stock Question... - 11/04/12 12:15 AM

As you all know I have a 70 Dart, and I have been toying with the idea of putting a Hemi in. And I was wondering if there were any of the early 70's Darts that were built and run in S/S or P/S back in the 70's? I thought Sox and Martin had one, but I can't find it. My dad and I were talking about maybe painting the car up as a tribute car with the hemi, but unfortunately I don't think there is anything for it to be a tribute to? Am I wrong? Thanks.

I also found a photo of a Dick Landy 70 dart swinger in a book, I dont have a scanner at home, so maybe somebody else can find a photo of it for you. Looks like an early 1970 photo at Orange County and its wearing a modified 6 pac style hood scoop

Dick Landy had a 70 Dart Pro Stocker that his brother drove. You did not see it much as Landy felt the Challenger had better weight dist and better hook as he favored the Challenger over the Dart. I think his brother ran it more in divisional events. I had a pic of it but I got to try and dig it up. Ron

There were no S&M Darts.Herb's had a Demon and other Dodges were the Colt and A/FX Challenger import

Hey guys thanks for the info, and if you have any more let me know. I'm not sure if I want to repaint the car as a tribute, or if I just want to put my own spin on it, while having the nostalgia feel. I want to make the car look like a nostalgia pro stocker, but I still want to continue to race it regularly.

I have only one of those scoops in stock that is on the blue Dart raced by Hicks & Templin. It's brand new and to your door it is $190.

Sometimes how you look is just as important as how you play the game!!!

Sox & Martin raced Plymouths and never had a Dodge Dart Swinger, but as others have posted there were a few others out there back then, and they did look really good. Any idea what colors you might go with on your car, how about an old school lace paint job.

Not Sure what color I would do, old school lace would would be cool. I will have to look at colors closer when I get closer to doing something.

Bob Lambek raced his old SS Hemi dart in P/S the first year they ran it.
