Charlie Castaldo had 2 original Hemi darts. The first one was a stick & he purchased it new. This car was rolled at Englishtown early 1969.. It was stripped of usable parts then scrapped. Charlie purchased the second Dart,an auto. This is the car that he won the SS Nationals @ York in 69
Charlie converted this car to run A/MP in 1970. He tryed running a clutchflite, but found that a stick was more competitive. It is this car that had the floor hump cut out of it for easier trans,/clutch servicing. My car has never had the floor modified . My car is an original auto car, & has never had a 4 spd, or a third pedal in it.
Charlie sold this car in 1972?? to Ralph Costello who continued campaigning it in A/MP for some time. It was then sold to a Jack
Schneider. Currently Tom Lee owns Castaldo’s auto car & it still sees the occasional trip down the 1320 as a legal SS/AH.
I have been in contact with Charlie Licata on several occassions & it is him who has provided me with ALOT of Castaldo’s history. He has helped me ALOT in getting some correct facts about Castaldo’s cars that I haven’t been able to any where else. Thanx C’
I really would like to talk to Tony DeVito because he looked at my car while Lou had it & maybe there’s info that could help me find the history of this unknown soldier. Can someone help me out with contact info?
Here’s a couple pictures of the car as it sits today
