Capturing a piece of early 70s Trans Am mojo...what can be done?

While not a duster, a bodies are represented by a 68 Dart in current Historical trans am style races

I am not sure if this is the only a body running in these races but I did get to see it race at the long beach grand prix a few years ago when that race series had a stop here.
I think the biggest drawback (just my opinion and 100% speculation) is that the more narrow body of the A body style vs E body was the biggest factor as to why it wasn't as popular for races where hard cornering was involved. I imagine that with the wider body style of the E body, (again I am only speculating), that teams could have a better "leverage point" against the center of gravity for the lack of a better term. And also not have as much front/rear overhang past the wheels. Again I am not by any means an expert but I always wondered the same thing as to that there had to be a reason why Mopar didn't invest in an "trans am" A body since it was a lighter platform.

You could be right about the width of the Abodies being a disadvantage compared to the wider Ebodies. Regardless, Trans Am was the most popular form of racing in the US between 1966 and 1972 (?) and regardless, I suspect that Chrysler wanted to use that platform to sell the upscale products.

That '68 Dart is incredible. Does anyone know the background on that car? Was it raced back in the day or is this just a car that is run in these vintage races? Was it factory-backed?
