The S & K Hemi Dart (one of the original 83 produced), never made it to Dover in 1968.
It did run at New York National Speedway (including the 68′ Super/Stock Magazine Nationals), the 68′ NHRA Springnationals at Englishtown,
68′ NHRA Indy Nationals, and out at Suffolk Raceway (West Hampton).
S & K sold the car to the Mutt Brothers (Ron and John Lyle) out of Brookyln, in November 1968.
Dollar numbers were $7000,,,,,though not confirmed.
It was soon painted black, and was street-raced in 1969, out on Conduit Boulevard.

Ken Montgomery still has that Hemi Cuda in his garage.
The ‘Triple Nickel’ ran in SS/B, and was at Dover a couple of times, and back for the ‘Pro Stock Meet’.
The car was switched to A/MP.
And was backed by Knopf Plymouth out of Philly, with a secret ‘skunkworks’ race-tech team hidden within the dealership.
