Built by the famous Barry White and crew of Barry's Speed Shop SRRC in Corona, CA and Ron Jenkins of Magnumforce Race Car Fabrication who are both very well known for quality craftsmanship. As a side note, Rikki Rockett of the 80's rock band POISON autographed the center console and the name "Poison Dart" was born. Barry started the transformation with a discarded 1969 Dart from Nevada with a solid, rust-free body that was stripped, blocked and painted a beautiful House of Kolor "molly orange" with a matte black hood/scoop and trunk stripe. Barry called on Ron Jenkins to personally install one of his custom designed tubular a-body k-member, front shock perch braces and sub frame connectors before wedging a Mopar Performance 472ci modern day HEMI under the hood. Here's a list of some of the parts in the build...

Most notably, the stock 727 torqueflight and B&M street converter were not up to the task. I chose Pat Barrett of Level 10 performance transmissions to custom rebuild the 727 to a 900hp capable "bullet-proof" unit with a brand new 9" billet 3,200 stall converter, custom valve body and properly timed solenoids that always choose the perfect gear at the perfect time - every time. Last but not least, I'm very particular about a clean and crisp throttle response so I contacted Hemi Specialist, John Arruzza who jetted and modified a brand new pair of Edelbrock Thunder Series AVS 650cfm carbs specifically for my application as well as a fully blueprinted distributor. When installing the new distributor I added a Mopar "chrome box", new plug wires and NGK plugs. The end result is a crisp throttle response and excellent light to heavy throttle transition that's smooth and precise. I only use Joe Gibbs HR-1 15w50 Hot Rod conventional oil with extra zinc for maximum protection...the best. All this labor and attention to detail translates to a truly "turn key" custom built muscle car with all top of the line parts, modern day comforts and the high quality fit and finish one expects from a famous “one off” custom muscle machine of this caliber and price point! I have numerous magazines that feature the Poison Dart as well as the original framed hand drawn rendering with the autographs of all those involved in the build, a personal DVD of the build as well as a vender presentation sign for car shows that goes with the sale. I personally have over $60k invested in the Dart to get it to this point so please no $20k low ballers.ALWAYS garaged, never driven in the rain and only 3,500 easy miles since the build and it shows!!
