Feature Car of the Week: 1968 Hemi Dart

It's Memorial Day weekend, so it's only fitting that we feature an all-American car. And it doesn't get any more all-American that the Dodge Hemi Dart. These cars were true factory drag racers, specially prepared for one thing only: doing battle in the NHRA Super Stock drag wars of the 60's. Combining light weight - near paper-thin, acid-dipped bodies, virtually no interior, and plastic windows all contributed to reducing overall weight to around 2400 lbs - and roughly 600 horsepower from the prepped 426cid Hemi engines, these cars were brutally quick, producing quarter-mile times in the mid 10-second range at trap speeds over 130 MPH. This car defines true American muscle! Read more about it here.
