1968 Race Hemi ~ 'Super/Stock'

Some Back History Butch Leal received the LO23 Hemi Dart 4-Speed. It was to be 'nationally' campaigned with 'financial support' from David Price of Delano Motors Dodge. After a short run of 1-Month, the 'well' went dry. Financial issues. The SS/B Hemi Dart was then sold.

Butch Leal 'Delano Motors Dodge' SS/B ~ 4-Speed Butch Leal was partners with David Price on that 'shortly' campaigned car. I have photo's of it at Lions Drag Strip in Long Beach, California in the Spring of 1968, with Butch driving it.

Dave Tom Myl's color sure looks close to {CC-1} Medium Blue Poly. Paul

Yes, Apricot = Yellowish-Orange Ed Miller's BO29 was a little darker, with a slight trace of red in the tint. I saw that BO29 many times {1968, 1969, 1970} * Dover Drag Strip * Lebanon Valley * ESTA Safety Park * New York National Speedway * Connecticut Dragway

Red {'Rojo'} is for Dodge. Blue {'Azul'} is for Plymouth. It is right here in 'black-and-white' in my Spanish Dictionary.

Red Schmed, What are we now, 'Sox & Martin'. Even their cars had 1/3 'Blue' in them.

Doug, just where in Canaan, Connecticut do you live ? I can just get on Route 7 {from my home in {northwest} Wilton} and head North. I figure to stop off at 'Lime Rock Auto' at Route 112 and Route 7, and then rent a Canoe and paddle up the Housatonic River. Then reach Canaan, and 'sneak in'...

Dave, Back in 1968, Many Mopar guys were having their cars painted with the Cadillac 'Fire Mist' mix. We went with both the {Code 90} 'Spectre Blue Firemist' and also the {Code 96} 'Monterey Green Firemist'. The original paint color on Tom Myl's car looks like the 'Spectre Blue Firemist'...

Can I vote '1968' times. Some 'Blue' ballot stiffing.

'Red' Not for a 'solid' color on a Plymouth, especially a 1967 thru 1969 Barracuda. If Dave paints that 'original' BO29 Red, I'll drive by his house each night and put up a big banner that says. "Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Chevrolet"

Dave, If you paint that BO29 'Red', I'll sneak in your Garage one Night, and scratch the paint up, and write 'Camaro SS' on the Fenders. "You Go Blue"
