True enough. The GTX was at one time going to run Stock eliminator, but they felt to invade "grass roots" part of the sport with a Pro team wouldn't have been good...they were right....
The body in white cars are/were OEM, side marker lights and all. The marker lights were filled, I believe, in an attempt to convert it to a 1969 at some point. Dick Landy Did that with a couple of his cars as well. I never saw the S&M car with the 6 pack hood, however.
Back in the day the Hurst "Shifty Doctor" would do this at NHRA national events for free for anyone using their products. However the advent of the automatic kinda killed the action there.
At the very least they make a service parts pkg. for nearly every type of shifter. Call Hurst!
Cool! Wish they'd have let me order the car I wanted when I was in Viet Nam! No solid lifter/big motor 4 speed cars allowed, they said! I'm surprised they let him order the Dart! The powers that be were trying to help, but caused issues for the hard core guys like me....Want a 4 speed 383 RR or...
I did this back in 1969 with a 440/375 and it ran well. Ball bearing progressive-type linkage was key in making me happy with the response, but I had a 4 speed car with headers and a 4.10 Dana. Not needed so much with an automatic. Your '73 motor will be fine with it as is if you wish.
Good luck!

This shows the metal R/T emblem over the tape stripe R/T decal. It was the first one I ever saw. Dick Landy saw it at OCIR in Feb 1969 and the next weekend his fleet had metal R/T and Super Bee emblems on the stripes...Always liked the look, myself.
I'm curious to know where these numbers came from?? Seems I've seen dozens myself, over the years, making me suspicious that many more were made than that.
