Quick Reply

What we have here is a 1968 Dart that has been restored to a Hurst Super Stock Hemi Dart Drag car in the “as delivered look” that came straight from Hurst Industries in April 1968. I started with a rust free, straight Calif. body and stripped it down to the bare unibody. The car was media blasted and then modified to match an original Hemi Dart.
The original quarter panel wheel well openings and outer wheel houses were cut and reworked using a template I made off an original Hemi Dart. The right inner fender has also been modified just like Hurst, first by cutting the inner fender, then heating and pounding in the inner fender and shock tower inward for the needed valve cover clearance. The seam was then brazed shut. I installed a correct Hemi A-Body K-frame with a set of steel motor mounts and poly lock insulators. I went the extra mile and removed all the factory seam sealer, sound deadening and undercoating to give it the body in white look. The car has all the correct delete plates that were copied from an original Hemi Dart. The door glass has the correct seat belt straps for raising and lowering the windows. The rear windows are fixed in the up position. There is also a very nice mirror delete plate along with a blower motor delete plate. The interior has new Legendary door panels with the correct 270 emblems, and rear panels with no window crank holes. New carpet, headliner and package shelf without speaker holes. A nice set of A 100 seats mounted to a pair Kramers reproduction seat brackets. The master cylinder has been moved over with the correct offset plate and has the correct flexable brake lines so the master can be removed quickly for making valve adjustments. The brake rod was lengthened and milled for the proper brake pedal height. The car has been set up like the original 4 speed cars with a Hurst shifter and the correct reverse lock out.
