****s i couldnt go this year.Can anyone tell me about the Early Dart with the altered wheel base that was there? How fast was it running and what were the details on it (Power plant ,trans ,etc.).It looks pretty damn cool in the pics ...
It was called the Mokan Missile from what I recall. It was in Compe***ion Coupe and Sedan. I think it was running 12's or 13's. Tim Beat him in the final run and he ran a 13 something at 101mph
it belongs to a good friend of mine, randy jackson, renchbender, on the board. he lives in joplin and owns g***ers garage. i believe it has a 273 and he just bolted on a turbo set up and was working out the bugs, didn't hook worth a ****. if you need more info pm him or me and ill get you in contact.
Thanks ,its really neat looking.It seems like alot of these early Darts are popping up lately ,and they are all white (kinda weird).I appreciate your help getting me in contact with him ...
Hey there shocker wrenchbender here my dart is a 64 and it does have a 273 with a t-3 turbo and won't hook at all it will boil the pie crust slicks the entire quarter mile hope to get it hooked up for next year I dig your dart too
He had a lot of trouble with rotary muffler stuff. Good guy to meet! Gotta pick on him a little bit, lot of effort.
why dont ya tell the ,,,I flat towed it with a Blown T-coupe. You are bad***...I remember findin' ya back in "03-or04 see ya next year. Brad. Big Brad
Yup, something about em just makes for a cool drag car. We got one stashed away for a future drag build.
Thanks everyone for the good thoughts and comments. Yes I did flat tow the dart with my blown injected T coupe g***er and I also want to point out I drive the dart to work everyday and pretty much everywhere I go. The T has taken a backseat since I got the dart running I thought I was helping the little 273 out with the turbo I just didn't think it would help that much but was I ever wrong. guess I need to do a little more tuning on the suspension and put more than a 8" cheater slick on it. Maybe next year ill flat tow my willys pickup with the dart
Sorry the pics didnt come up. Tried the dart pics as attachments. Or you can try this link: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=18131&id=1738586017&l=e910d14082
Damn! That's a bad*** little Dart! Good luck with finding traction. I'll be starting my '64 g***er project in a couple weeks.
Well, it's been out there before, but just to refute that they're all white, here's my project. (although it will be blue and white when its done, like our old AWB car back in the day) Well, couldn't find the image with my new carbon fiber fenders on it, I'll look around again. Charlie Allen's car is what I'm going for in look and stance, but our old livery...
Very cool. My buddy Howie over in Oklahoma is working on his second AWB Plymouth. I struggled with whether or not to move the rears forward or not, decided not to. Charlie Allens had them stock for some time, and although it looks a bit out of place right now, I think once colors and lettering are on the car it'll all come into place. Still have problems with my Picasa 3 pix file opening, so no more pix for a while.
