BOOK OF ELI
The entire Mopar community rallied around Elijah Ault, a Mofan stricken with cancer. Eli owned a 66 slant-six, column-shift auto Dart convertible in not-so-hot shape. The effort to redo Elis Dodge as a token of how Elis positive spirit in the face of his adversity, was sparked by Ralph Barbagallo of SuperCarRaces.com and Gary and Pam Beineke of 71WingCars.com. The Beinekes, using parts and services donated by the Mopar community, turned the car around in only 56 days. Their creation was based on their interpretation of what the factory would have done had they built a 66 Dodge Dart Charger. Yeah, we know its kinda far-fetched mixing A- and B-bodies and all. But the Beinekes think kind of different. The reborn Dart now packs a 318 Magnum, redone interior with console and floor shifter, and hood with A-body scoops as highlights.
