Re: [StockSSDragRacing] more ss/a - ss/aa HEMI pictures

 

thanks for the questions, i THINK i know something about these cars, and if im wrong, hopefully no one will beat me up!!!(lol) they were originally built as 383 dart gts and barracuda formula s cars but shipped to hurst less engine for hemi upgrade. as far as the wheel openings they are definately different on the dart but i believe the barracuda openings were as factory. trim level i think-- was base model... not 100% sure. the seats were cheapo a100 van seats and no rear seat. i built a model of a '68 ss/aa barracuda using the '69 kit, and it turned out ok, but had the '69 grilles... i built mine with full working suspension, 4 link rear, tube k-frame and the ss/aa resin motor  that is available, quite a bit of work to make cheesy mpc '69 barracuda kit even look like the right thing. i had about 75-85 hours in the body and chassis alone!!! gave it to a friend of mine who had (at the time) a real ss/aa barracuda, and its still proudly displayed at his house!!
 thanks again for the questions, i hope i helped at least some!!!

First,I  would  like  to  thank  you  for  posting  all  those  great  pictures  and  second  I  would  like  to  ask  a  question.  You  seem  to  be  very  knowlegable  on  the  Darts.  Do  you  know  what  they  started  as?  Were  they  built  from  base  model  or  so other  trim  level?  I  remember  reading  about  the  factory  or  some  other  ?  shop  enlarging  the  rear  wheel  openings,maybe  2  inches  larger  than  stock.  Anyone  remember  the  article  or  how  mch  they  were  opened  up ?  Also  what  seats  were  used?  Seems  like  I  saw  one  with  a  bench  seat, but  it  may  have  been  a  clone,as  I  remember  it  being  a  little  rough,and  looked  unfinished, and  may  have  had  some  primered  areas  showing.  Any  help  with  these  cars  is  greatly  appreciated.  I  would  like  to  build  a  model  of  one,  and  it  seems  the  resin  kit  is  no  longer  available, so  I  will  have  to  modify  a  plastic  model.  thanks  for  all  your  help!  Terry

Let's see, I got out of the Navy in Jan. of 1960 and bought a 57 Chevy 283-270 H.P. car .
Raced it for the 1st time at Pacemakers ,Ohio, then ran Detroit dragway some, as I was playing semi-pro baseball I didn't race that much.
I was working with a guy from my high school that had this FAST 59 Pontiac , we went to the '60 Nationals in Detroit with it.
In late 60 he got caught drag racing on the street and lost his License for 1 yr, so he sold me the car if I'd pick him up & take him to work....... We started hanging around every day. 
One day in June of 1961 we race at Glass City Dragway here in Toledo, I won that day & on the way home. On a street we stop at a light and these 2 girls pulled up along side, the cute blond driving wanted to race  I heald up  the trophy I'd won that day but we took off anyways. At the next stop light I asked where are you going,she said to "Don's drive -in.
I told my friend I want that little blond so you might have to drive this car.
To make a long story short I told her to come out to the drive-in we hung out at & I'd take her for a ride. All the rest of the day I keeped saying she not coming, but my friend said "She will be here'.she came out I asked her to help wax my car next saturday so it would look nice for sundays drag's, she said sure if you take me with you.
So for the next 43 yrs she helped with what ever I had to do.
She still does today.

Let's see, I got out of the Navy in Jan. of 1960 and bought a 57 Chevy 283-270 H.P. car .
Raced it for the 1st time at Pacemakers ,Ohio, then ran Detroit dragway some, as I was playing semi-pro baseball I didn't race that much.
I was working with a guy from my high school that had this FAST 59 Pontiac , we went to the '60 Nationals in Detroit with it.
In late 60 he got caught drag racing on the street and lost his License for 1 yr, so he sold me the car if I'd pick him up & take him to work....... We started hanging around every day. 
One day in June of 1961 we race at Glass City Dragway here in Toledo, I won that day & on the way home. On a street we stop at a light and these 2 girls pulled up along side, the cute blond driving wanted to race  I heald up  the trophy I'd won that day but we took off anyways. At the next stop light I asked where are you going,she said to "Don's drive -in.
I told my friend I want that little blond so you might have to drive this car.
To make a long story short I told her to come out to the drive-in we hung out at & I'd take her for a ride. All the rest of the day I keeped saying she not coming, but my friend said "She will be here'.she came out I asked her to help wax my car next saturday so it would look nice for sundays drag's, she said sure if you take me with you.
So for the next 43 yrs she helped with what ever I had to do.
She still does today.
