So glad to see a super stock forum! I asked Joey to move the current SS&AFX restoration of a real 4 speed LO23 over to this forum on your recommendation davescuda. Thanks for the heads up :). What sort of information are you looking for? General information or something specific? I will be glad to add everything I can.
 
Taken from Super Stock & Drag Illustrated June 1968.

There are a couple more if someone like to see...

I would like to dedicate this forum to 69 Cuda 440 (Paul Ceasrine). He wanted this so bad and was excited for it. He wanted to empty his head here. He was pushing me to get this forum up and asking me how it was going. Well Paul we got it! RIP Paul
 
This one is very cool with original paper work. From what I an understanding only Darts that where sold at the dealers got build sheets

If you take a close look at the drip rail of the Dart in the first picture, you see no corner to cover the gap...
Did Hurst simply skip this little piece, or has it been lost along the way?
Good eye, I over looked that

I talked to Bryan Higgins (One of the owners of S&K Speed Hemi Dart) yesterday. What a great guy! The funny thing is, I was asked to call him about something totally different then these cars. In the conversation we were having lead him to say he owned an original Hemi Dart back in 68. He bought it from Grand Spaulding Dodge. Then that just start a bunch of stories. He still has the paper work to his original car and does not know where the Dart is today. He did say that they sell the Hemi Dart it in late 69. He is building a Hemi Dart now.

Great photos Dave, I really like the late 60s vibe of the lettering on the S&K Dart.
Avenger & 642 are particularly psychedelic.
Reminds me of a Scooby doo or Tommy James style font.
Love the paint jobs on many of these cars.
