Poison Dart??!! Wtf??!!!

[trapin]

I finally caught that Wrecks To Riches show last night.

Does anyone know when that segment for the '69 Dart was taped? Where they building that car the same time Schwartz was doing his?

I don't know....if this was done recently, that's a pretty gutless move to steal a name from another car which has already had noterity from it. Schwartzs car has graced the pages of PHR, been seen at Detroit Autorama and if my memory serves me correct it was at SEMA back in Novermber.

I don't want to accuse them of being theives but....C'mon....Jeffs car has been all over the internet since last Summer.

I was thinking the same thing. I suppose it's possibly that show could've been taped a year ago??

[trapin]

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt until I learn otherwise.

That was the first thing I thought of when I was watching that show last night. Barry annoys me for some reason. I did like the car.

I thought the same thing. I think they named the car after the group posion, but still its the same name. I was a little confused, but the car was nice.

if the build time line for the show is real. the russo steele auction is at the same time a Barrett Jackson so it is in late January. they said that they had four weeks to build it (dec-jan?) and they had Ricky Rocket sign the consule "poison 06". so my guess is that it was built after Sema so they would have had some clue about the Schwartz Posion Dart unless they don't go to sema and he doesn't use Holley products.

Or there is now 2 poison darts.But the car didn't have any poison dart markings on it.They just named it that.

[speedster]

I think they meant to call it a ButtDart...

I think all of this naming car crap is getting out of hand! Who cares what the name is, they are two different Darts/cars, leave it at that.

That is like someone else building a 69 Camaro and naming it the MULE.

I had a dash plaque that said "poison dart"

I agree, it's not like it was that much of an original idea. Barry and his crew probably don't even know of the other car.

[1970cuda]

i agree that the naming of cars is a little crazy but having a second mule just would not sit right with me. at least they had a reason for naming it that(ricky rocket from poison). it could have ended up the dead kennedys dart or the limp bizkit dart. but out of professional courtesy, they should have checked if there was another poison dart, just think if they built a convertible for a guy named boyd and called it a boydster.....

[Siroadrnr]

I think Garbage Dart has a good ring to it.....he he he

I am still calling my car "the pearl green cyclone"



Just kidding.

What's the fun in that?

I'm going to have to agree though................"Buttdart" IS a pretty good name.

You are right, there is no fun in that and I did not mean to come off as a butt! (no pun intended to the "Buttdart"!) I think a lot of the names that people are coming up fit the projects, i.e., Eternity, this is how I feel with my project, the damn thing is just taking so long.

Also, I do like Buttdart, I guess they could of found Butthead from Beavis and Butthead to sign the car!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, I just spit up my drink laughing.

[dropit69]

i think if it was poison green ..like the bands color it would have been cool..but red and then associate it with a band that uses green as their trademark was just dumb..maybe because i was in high school in the 80's and love all the hair bands im biased..just my opinoin..

[vanzuuk1]

My friend had a green car and wanted to call it "envy" (as in green with envy), I liked that idea.

"Butt dart" would need to be a brown car, and lets just leave it at that.
