Rumor?

[hemicop]

Anyone ever hear of or see an original S/S car bought new & registered for street use?
Yes, I know they were only sold with an MSO but there are ways around such things & I was wondering if anyone had any pics or stories of one being bought new & used on the street.
IIRC, Mr. Norm's sold the majority of them, so I'm guessing SOMEWHERE somebody did it.
I remember seeing Ronnie Lyles streetracing one, but he got it used.

There was a real 68 Hemi Dart on the street in San Diego in the late 90's. Tubbed out with real Halibrand magnesium wheels. Not sure the history of it but I have a couple of engine bay pics of it at a friends shop. I believe it got sold or traded for a max wedge car, and from there who knows where it went. Was on the cover of Mopar review or one of them magazines when the guy I knew owned it. He wasn't the original owner though.

There was the one found on a used car lot and driven off the lot, 1980's Hot Rod magazine story on it, I think it was a Mancini car maybe? Norm sold 13 Darts, I have one of them. The MSO for my car has the wrong VIN on it, says LS23M8B instead of L023M8B, silly Chrysler...

I'm from Queens (Flushing) originally. Got any pics and/or details? I only knew of the "Mutt Bros" and some guys in the Bronx that had, IIRC a '65 car but that was it for streetified (?) race cars.

George Baptiste ...I'm thinking he was about 60ish 25 years ago, when I was racing Hemi stuff up there

In the early 90s there was one, on the street, in Pa. -- It was a 68 Dart, painted light Yellow -- ser# 7.
