new 68 hemi dart

Did Dodge produce any Hemi Darts in 69? I remember seeing one in a magazine years ago, cannot remember which one but being raced by the late Dick Landy that had the 69 grill and Hemi Dart on the rear bumble bee stripe.

No '69 Hemi Darts, but there were '69 440 GTS cars built by Hurst that year. All were raced in '69, and factory cars often received "facelifts" to make them current. I have a picture of Shirley Shahan's Drag On Lady Dart with a '69 grille. I'm pretty sure the Sox and Martin '68 Hemi Barracuda was updated to '69 trim, and I'm sure Landy was given the parts as well. Sox and Martin's '67 Belvedere RO23 was trimmed out as a GTX, per Chrysler's marketing concerns. AMC had a changeover kit to turn the '69 SS AMX's into '70's. I know that sometimes the governing bodies didn't accept the updated sheetmetal for certain class requirements.

there was a guy there last Jan'06 with one of Gary's cars and it had the hotter motor on race gas...gave you goose bumps...I was grabbing for my wallet to...but dangit it was a tad thin for the purchase.

Can anyone post a picture of Landy's Hemi Dart with the 69 trim?
