Re: Original hemi dart information
OK,
Paulie comes through again, with another find of a lost LO23. Tom Spanbauer of Oshkosh, Wisconsin 'Liberty Bell II' Tom was already running his SS/B car by mid-April 1968. Great article, discussing handling issues.

Re: Original hemi dart information
745,555 views class racer record for sure. Amazing the interest in these little old cars with a bad attitude.

Re: Original hemi dart information
Daryl,
Lawrence 'Larry' Wilber Toledo, Ohio According to extensive digging. It looked like Jim Thorton {Manager of Race Vehicle Design} and member of the Ramchargers helped buddy Larry Wilber secure an early-deal on his LO23. I believe that Jim Thorton was from Perrysburg, Ohio. Last edited by Paul Ceasrine; 12-22-2014 at 07:53 PM. |
