"Next Victim"

Old Man Mopar said

I believe that the "Don Carlton" on the sides was applied during a previous ownership and freshening by Jeff Johnson who runs Chrysler Classics events and emulates the Dart Sports that Don campaigned independently after Chrysler bowed out. Essentially correct (at least not incorrect) for the time. The car would have eventually looked as it does today because it was destined to be the next official Mopar Missile.

Here are 3 pictures of the wire car as it was originally at Don's Lenoir, NC garage with Don Carlton and Mechanic Clyde Hodges on it. In 2 of the photos, you can see the Dart Sport that Don drove with the Rod Shop sponsor paint scheme. The white house at the top of the hill was Don's dad's house with 2 small buildings beside it. Just on the other side of the center building is where this car was parked when I would ride by to look at it. This is the way it was painted.
