Damn...!!! I used to daily a 440 powered 68 Dart, and it turned mid 11s every weekend. But a Hemi dart??? Omg a whole other level. What a dream car!!! (Right next to a Daytona!!!)
@огромная эрекция I can tell you've never heard of the LO23 Hemi Dart before bro. These cars picked up the front wheels straight off the showroom floor. Here's a quote from an article about the car. "Chrysler engineers stated the new 1968 Hemi Dart could reach speeds of 130 mph in less than 11 seconds and factory quarter mile times in the 10-11 second range, although times have been reported as low as the 9-10 second range." So yeah this car is pretty much doing what these cars do right off the showroom floor. www.rmw.lv/car/en/dart-hemi-l023-1968
Such a childish comparison. It’s not stock and even so, you can make a Honda faster than a demon. You obviously don’t understand production cars and prices you little kid. Go back to playing xbox before I turn you over me knee
@@shortthrow50 Reading the rest of the conversation would have helped prevent you from looking like a complete idiot. You turned yourself over your own knee LoL.
I was a 7th grader in 1967 and a total hot rod freak. My buds and I would go into grocery stores and straight to the big magazine racks.....and right into the copious amount of Hot-Rod-drag-type mags that were offered. It was then that I remember reading about this new 1968 Hemi Dart and Hemi Cudas that were being readied in limited numbers....as well as the new Mustang 428 Cobra Jet drag car. Finally saw those '68 Hemi cars run at Beeline Dragway in Scottsdale soon after.....can remember that NOTHING.....NOTHING....sounds quite like a Hemi under hard load when launching from the tree. I've always loved these....never could afford one. Thanks for posting this video! jbeinarizona
I was a 7th grader in 2010 but I was also a hotrod freak haha. I would ride my bike across town as a kid to a place called book world, which oddly enough sold not only books, but also cigars, tobacco and tobacco pipes. But I was after the Car Craft, 4-Wheelin Off Road, Car and driver, and Hotrod magazines. Still have a ton of them in boxes, but in those magazines there was several mentions of these cars in there over the years, and they were always described as legendary! I had the pleasure of seeing one run in person at Brainerd International Raceway in 2017, and MAN! What a treat! I'll probably never be able to afford one either, but that won't stop me from building a clone someday, and for now I can pretend in my Duster haha.
The Torque Flite behind the Hemi engine sure did what is was supposed to do! Imagine that, an automatic transmission with only 3 speeds! They have made their mark in history, no matter what kind of car they’re in. Good Day Everyone!
Totally insane. When I was a kid, my brother and I spend days, weeks, months, trying to find a Dart GT, in good shape. This was in 1976. Even then, it was impossible to find a numbers matching 383 or 440 Dart. I mean, the amount of work: Four Sunday paper want ads, Little Nickle, Wednesday Automotive section of two local papers, countless hours driving the family wagon from lot to lot..... It was exhausting.... But, we finally found a 72, Demon 340..... Love these Grandma looking sleepers, to this day.
Nothing more impressive than something like this running a great ET and all N/A! I'm all about the KISS theory: Keep It Simple Stupid. Build an engine, tune it and run it hard. No power-adders necessary.
I accidentally came across these hemi dart videos. I'm a chevy man born and raised but Lawd have mercy. I was thinking violent but ferocious works also
I remember this car! Back in 2017 when I was in college I saw your son driving this and following you in your F8 Green Demon! First Demon I ever saw and first LO23 too. I gotta get to know you guys because I live in Sioux Falls now and spend a ton of time at TV with Rod Neugebauer and the other Mopar guys! lol
You must be mistaken about the driver. I'm the only one who drives this car (all of my boys are too terrified to take this car down the dragstrip, and I wouldn't let them, plus this car isn't street legal so it's only driven at the track). Unless you saw us briefly move them from the trailer to the event (car show or dragstrip). But other than that- sounds good! Come up and chat with any of us sometime!
@DakotaGT sounds good! I think I have a video of that moment, I'll have to see if I can find it. You'll have to let me know when you head to the next event in TV or around Sioux Falls somehow!
Holy crap that thing is dialed! I didn't see the "9" second part in the desciption and thought "cool..old hemi dart making a go at it{.. Wooo! You can tell by the launch alone, that thing is pavement wrinkler... AKA hauls major ass... Car works like a dream...
A bad ass video showing a bad ass hemi car driven by somebody that knows what the hell they are doing...on a scale of 1 to 10..... I'd give a 1000!...Mopar or No car....
Friend of mine had one of these back in the 80's, used it as a daily driver to work. Orange sunshine, made you glad he had 4 point harnesses on the seats when he got on it.
@@rtkl13 Yeah, friend of mine in High School had a 68 with a 383 4bbl. Nothing special. But his Dad for craps and giggles put a 5.13 rear gear in that thing. It would only hit 80mph. But people would pay him to ride in it around town. Street light to street light was unreal for a 14-18 year old....
One thing I've learned when it comes to racing cars, the ones that know what they are doing don't get on TH-cam arguing about who's the fastest, is it stock or not, etc.....they line up and let there times do the talking. If you want to know who not to worry about when it comes to fast cars and knowledge, just read some of the people's comments, arguing, etc... on this video.
Jake M Correct, not the original engine or suspension, although I have everything for the car. The point of the original term was that this is a true original 1968 factory lightweight Hurst Hemi Dart, as opposed to the myriad of clones that are out there of this car
Along with this camera ride, the adrenalin rush is as real FOR ME as being therein! 920, is TOTIN THE MAIL! NOTHING HAS CHANGED SINCE 51" THE CHRYSLER HEMI RULES!
The ole tape on the steering wheel trick, we did the same thing in the dirt track car, the torque would always make you forget to straighten the wheel after letting up
That automatic was pretty cool. All that gear grinding, missed shifts and shifter rods jamming up makes me wish I had automatic sometimes. Remember how the crappy Muncie 4 speed would get stuck in reverse. 😆
Thanks, love it, that burnout, red line light blinks, and out of the throttle. Then the actual run itself, red line light blinks shift happens red light light blinks shift happens again repeat
This is as close as I’ll ever get to a LO23 Dart! Thank you!
Coolest thing I have seen on youtube in a long time.
fuck yea buddy
Damn...!!! I used to daily a 440 powered 68 Dart, and it turned mid 11s every weekend. But a Hemi dart??? Omg a whole other level. What a dream car!!! (Right next to a Daytona!!!)
Faster than a Demon or Hellcat right out of the box with no supercharger. Real muscle right here.

The plural of "hemi" is "hemis", not "hemi's:.

I love how the steering wheel is cocked just a little the whole pass, that is what you call torque
Old school and barely anything operated with a computer chip,how refreshing.
The Torque Flite behind the Hemi engine sure did what is was supposed to do! Imagine that, an automatic transmission with only 3 speeds! They have made their mark in history, no matter what kind of car they’re in. Good Day Everyone!
That is one incredibly fast Hemi. The view from the drivers perspective really makes it look so much faster than watching from an outside camera shot.
They had a lot of help from illegal 3 letter government agencies: EPA FIO & DOT.
And that boys and girls, is exactly how it's done
Whoop! .. there it is ..
That hemi symphony is music to my ears . lo23 dart is mad as !!
Love how the steering wheel is cocked about 30 degrees left to compensate for the torque ... awesome! Then when he lets off back to top dead center.
Nice to see that rare classic is still plowing the soil...
Well, this brings back some memories. My Father's first car was a '68 Dodge Dart. It wasn't nearly as cool as this car. Great video!
who else watched this a dozen times????
Me😂😂😂
Motivational video
Far out that was brutal. HEMI enough said!

Got to drive a '68 Hemi Roadrunner last year. What an experience
That launch made me hold my breathe just watching the video!
Well done!
Damn! I thought all the OG’s were retired! I saw them run at Maple Grove back in ‘85. Kool that you are still making noise with it! 👍😀🇺🇸
❤ Maple Grove!

There is nothing like a Race Hemi draining 2 carbs.
RAPIDLY draining 2 carbs..lol
Damn. Loving that ride along. Please make more and give us a walk around
I like how the tach is adjusted...and....that car hauls....awesomeness
I know I'm way late here, but that was bad ass!
I've been lucky, I got to watch a bunch of hemi darts and cudas race at Mopars at the strip. Awsome!

Hey hey now....I'm a chevy guy and I dig the Hemi. Infact I had a 70 roadrunner with a 383. Never should have sold that one

Awesome!! I could just about smell the exhaust!!
unbelievable, from 0 to passing speed on the freeway instantly

Title makes sense.
It's still carrying the shaved fenders, bare bones doors, no back seat that came from the factory. A valuable car.

Well, freakn cool. I used to go with racer buddies to T.V. in the early 70's. Got to see Judy Lilly in her SS/AA Cuda. Great times.
This is great. I can't stop watching it.
Great,and sounds sweet,my Ford Focus diesel won’t do that....greetings from Liverpool.UK.
U mean Beatlespool? :) Beatles the best band ever!
Olds bro's toast...nice "brake release Launch"...MOPAR SMOKES. ;)
Wicked cool!!!
Thanks for the ride!
the sweet music of a howling RaceHemi!
Awesome mate. I have an 1980 V8 Chrysler with a mild small block but I sure wish it would sound like a Hemi. Fully sik 🤣
The ole tape on the steering wheel trick, we did the same thing in the dirt track car, the torque would always make you forget to straighten the wheel after letting up

Jesus Chrysler, that was awesome!!
That automatic was pretty cool. All that gear grinding, missed shifts and shifter rods jamming up makes me wish I had automatic sometimes. Remember how the crappy Muncie 4 speed would get stuck in reverse. 😆
Man that was quick !
I just love those old Hemi’s from the 50’s & 60’s. The new ones are cool too, but nothing like that old school shit 😎👍
I had a sixty- eight dart. Slant six with 4 feet of straight pipe. Sounded great but didn't move like this. Well done.
Wicked!!! Man that Dart was gone!!!
Great on board footage
Legit my dream car. I wouldn't even paint it.
Wow, long live the internal combustion engine.
Thanks for the ride. 👍😎
atta boy! You brought out the expert in overyone
As the young would say...SWEET.
I'm a Pontiac man,and that was awesome!!!!
Very nice pass DakotaGT!!!
THAT WAS EFFING AWESOME! can I please go again !!!??!!?
Very satisfying
Wow!!!! Thanks for the ride !
Love the old school tach sounds like its missing at top end
Scott King yep, definitely was running lean on that run. Realized it before any damage was done, thankfully
@@DakotaGT i heard it breaking up on the top end too. that stuff is sometimes hard to notice when youre driving it though.
Wow xplosive that’s some muscle 👊🏻✊
My heart raced for a second... badass
Thanks, love it, that burnout, red line light blinks, and out of the throttle. Then the actual run itself, red line light blinks shift happens red light light blinks shift happens again repeat
In the words of Joliet Jake, “it’s got nice pickup.”
Back when muscle was king
That was a beautiful thing
Wish I could one day go for a ride in an old Hemi car. Don't know anyone personally and could never afford a rusted out one.
OO HELL YEAH..!!! MOPAR " HEMI ' POWER..!!!!!
Love that beast !!! Sounds fast because it is thanks Dart GT hemi man
Now that is a beast. Awesome.
I knew they were quick... but DAMN! =:0
Just by the name of the video I knew the dart was gonna wipe the floor with the other car...
Hemi power 🐘
I have no words to describe how I feel about this car...
It’s a good thing you got that helmet strapped on LOL
Nice lick. Car is geared perfect too. 👍🏻
Violence can be beautiful
Nice pull!
