1966 Dodge D/Dart ~ 'Mystery, Myth and Misconception'
Does anyone know anything on this car? The original email was sent to Alan Lewis who runs the D/Dart website and he hasn't been able to get any more info from the sender. The web address is no longer good. The dealership isn't on my list. If I knew the last 3 of the VIN, I might be able to match it up with a dealer. HELP!!!!!!!
Any help on find info on this car would greatly be appreciated.

Just found your site.
Great stuff. fantastic pictures and wonderful stories.
My father bought one of these cars back in the spring of 1966. We even kept the original bill of sale. It
was purchased for $2875 from Mahopac Dodge, or local Dodge dealer. The reason I'm contacting your
site is because I found my fathers old car, and recently bought it for $750. I plan on doing a complete
restoration of the car, including all documentation. I plan to race it at Nostalgia meets. If you would like,
I can forward you pictures of the car from 66', 67' and 68', as well as recent photo's with a general
history. Racing history, time slips and events that my father participated in. I also have information
concerning the D-Dart and its performance as well as general articles.
Just for your information. the car in complete stock form (off the trailor) with the basic 6.95" x 14" tires
ran 14.50's at 93 MPH. Many of my fathers early time slips showed those times. After the installation of
M & H Racemaster Slicks (7" wide), a Sun Tach and Stewart-Warner electric fuel pump, as well as a
distributor re-curve and carb adjustment the car reached 14.10's. My father did pretty well in the
D/Stock class at Dover Drag Strip, Wingdale, NY back then, winning 9 class trophies in 66' and winning 11
in 67'. He wasn't quick enough to compete in Stock Eliminator.
If you would like any further information or pictures, E-mail me.
