On “My Car Story” we're in Rosemont IL at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals on 11-16-18.
We’re looking at a 1968 Dodge Dart Super Stock Larry Griffith Drag Car in Blue Paint. The car features a factory installed 426 CI V8 Hemi engine.
The car's Owner is Joe Hilger. Joe’s had this car since 2002. After owning the car, he wanted to restore if back to the original “Larry Griffith” Dodge Drag Car. We have a treat today and Larry Griffith himself share details of the car he used to race and win in, and he gets in it and “fires it up” for us!
To see details on the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show, go to www.MCACN.com
ENJOY!

    That was so funny. When he revved that big monster up, it's like everyone marveled in awe! It's like being at a large zoo, looking at any of the animals on display, when all of a sudden, from several hundred yards away, a Lion starts roaring. Everyone turns their heads in amazement, some even start hurriedly walking to see the king of beasts in action. This Hemi Dart is the King of Beasts.

    This is one of, if not the most amazing find i've ever seen on your channel (or anywhere for that matter). It has such great, simple lines. And by simple, i was describing a play my kids ran to another coach. I told him it was so simple but it was dramatic. He replied, "Some of the simplest plays can be the most dramatic." Combined with this fantastic paint job (never seen a prettier blue) this car is not screaming "look at me," people are screaming "let me get a closer look!"

    When I was a little boy, I remember these cars coming to the line, at SIR, in Seattle, and my brother leaning back and stating, "It's over unless the Dart red lights." I was 9 years old, and it was the mid 70's. These cars were lethal to any Camero, Mustang, anything that rolled up against them. The most amazing thing is the low back bucket seats! I never thought about that! That massive torque developed by a 426 or 440 resulted in some chiropractor's entire retirement fund. Love that you brought this to your channel. A forgotten legend.

Nothing prepared me through my head phones when the Hemi fired up. I got goosebumps on goosebumps. That is the baddest, scariest, meanest, loudest, unbelievable motor noise you have ever recorded old school ever other motor pales in comparison. That is one bad arse L0 23 I am so envious of you but I also thank you so much for sharing the experience keep the great videos coming. We must discuss the future of these Muscle Cars who are going to be the care takers in 10 years time. Our generation is thinning out it really worries me more than global warming stuff.

HOPEFULLY WE CAN SET A TIME TO SHOW THE CARS IF YOU STILL WANT. THE ROAD RUNNER IS A 9.01 CAR, HIGHLY BUILT AND THE ORIGINAL 6 BBL ENGINE IS IN MY GARAGE. THE 70 RT/SE 440 IS ALSO OUT AND ANOTHER IS IN AND BUILT. NOT AS STRONG BUT THE CHARGER RAN A FAST TIME OF 10.22 IN OCTOBER AND RUNNER RAN A FASTEST OF THE 9.01 IN NOVEMBER OF THIS YEAR. I HAVE OWNED THEM FROM 16 YRS OLD, GROUND UP RESTOS ON BOTH. IM 53 AND WILL NEVER GET RID OF THEM. THE ENGINES IN BOTH HAVE BEEN RACED FOR ABOUT 33 YRS AND BOTH HAVE BEEN REBUILT JUST ONE TIME. THE LAST REBUILDS WERE 6 YRS AGO ROAD RUNNER AND 8 YRS AGO CHARGER. THE OFFER IS THERE IF YOU HAVE THE TIME. THEY ARE BOTH NUMBERS MATCHING CARS.

    I'm surprise the guy doing the interview didn't know about a "cool can". I had a 1973 Duster Sport with a 360 engine and me and all my friends had "cool cans". We used to race almost every weekend at the local drag strip. Did it help ? I have no idea, it just sounds good in theory. Other tricks were taking off a couple of the fan belts that ran the a/c and alternator. A few of us may have had a few high performance parts but not many. The most important thing to us back then was not to run out of beer. Thinking of this brought back so many memories.
