  • With the 440 Dart from Roadkill Garage in hand, Freiburger and Finnegan meet up with Vice Grip Garage and Roadworthy Rescues owner Derek Bieri to take a 1968 big-block Dart known as “El Dart-O” on a tire-smoking road trip that includes a final run down Memphis International Raceway and some hair-raising passes down George Ray’s Wildcat Dragstrip.

      i will confess to a Dart "bent" myself, my father inherited his aunt's chicken farm and rented it out to a fella who collected 340 darts before the prices went off, and my second apartment in college had a pair of Dart Gt's converted to 440 status for sale on the front lawn.
