On a sad note Dick passed away 3/6/14.I just found a post with the info.RIP Dick it was a pleasure to have known you.

Looks like in the second pic the car has much larger tires.

Hey Clint

I have some weatherstrip type of foam that I taped to the underside of the hood. The stuff you can buy at a Hardware store for sealing doors & windows in houses etc.

Always good to get another opinion on stuff, and I do believe your right on that Passenger Side window. It does look like it is solid , prolly a piece of thin plywood or something because the original corning glass broke. like you I can't make out the lettering.
I'm thinking that the tow truck in front of it was part of the racing operation. There is writing on the front fender of it, but I can't make it out.

I did contact Lab Machine and spoke with the owner there last year and He does remember doing engine work for a guy with a Hemi Dart in the 70's, but doesn't remember any more specifics on it..

There are similarities on this car compared to rumors and information that has been dug up on my car over the years. Among those This car does have a tunnel Ram with a couple of big ol Holleys sitting on top. My car has been reported to have had a Tunnel Ram on it also.
Too bad there is no hood to be seen in this picture because my car was reported to have had a second scoop moulded on top of the original scoop. The owner had a nickname of 2 Scoop Lido..
Back over to the Yellow Bullet forum where it was reported the owner of that Dart was a Bob Lambandino or something like that (Similar to Lido?) Maybe 2 scoop Dino????


When Tim Hennessy bought this car off Lou Vignogna back in the mid 80's it was white. At the time of my purchase in 2001, it was believed to have been Charlie Castaldo's Dart which was Silver and red back in the early 70's. I found and spoke with the guy (Paul Pittman) who actually stripped the colors off the car when Lou owned it and painted it that white. He remembers the car being a silver, but doesn'remember if it had any insert color or not or if it did what color it was. he said maybe had a Maroon painted insert

Even tho it does physically look like a Zero the second digit on a Mopar from that era is always a letter designation. I agree with you it does look like a zero but it is not. First time Ive taken notice of that. The body numbers or shipping order numbers that are stamped both on the body and the fender tag are zeros, and look xactly like the "O" (oh) on the Vin plate on the dash

Heres a web page you can check out

LO23 is 100% for sure EL-OH23
