70 dodge dart vs. 70 nova

[Lee Stewart]

Which one looks more aerodynamically styled?

My first car at 16 was a '69 Swinger 340.
Had a bunch of A bodies since.
I have 2 Darts right now.
A '69 Swinger 340 and a '69 M-code 440 GTS from Mr. Norm's.
Hard to keep the 440 pointed straight!
The 340's also handled pretty good by back in the day standards.

Like to know more about your M code. Will be in the market for one in a yr or 2.

I had a bunch of pics on my work PC that crashed. I'll dig some up.
I found this so-so one from a magazine article...

Craig...It was well before my time with the NHRA so I can't give you an absolute answer...however I'm pretty sure it was far different ballgame back then. Farmer Dismuke was the National Tech Director in 1970 (1960 to 1988) and he actually came up with the Classification Guide. Bottom line was Farmer was in charge and there was no monkey business. I don't think in his wildest dreams that the system would be so different (botched?? mis-used?) today. NHRA is a far different place now.

Agree NHRA is way different. Just not the same anymore.
