Does anyone know if this was a 'real' Hemi Dart or not? Btw, check out the cigarette in Bob Reed's mouth.

...another of Bob Reed's Dart.

And that's how I remember it....at my age , who knows.

Jim,,, back around '75 I had a black '66 Nova SS that we'd mini tubbed, and I bought a set of Super Ticks for it. I took them all apart and ran the fronts down to a polisher, who did a fantastic job, but told me that the bolts wouldn't polish since they were a different material,, so I went to a specialty nut and bolt place here in town and purchased some black annodized Allen head bolts and put them back together, making sure they sealed down the middle and mounted them on the car. I got lots of compliments on them and guys would come up and stare at them saying "somethings different" but they could'nt put their finger on it, until I would point it out. The back bolts complimented the paint job, and gave the wheels a nice look.

Here's another shot of Dick Landy's '70 Hemi Dart pro-stocker, driven by Bob Lambeck...

Here's a shot of Grumpys Toy and a close up of those front mags racers were using back then...

Looks like the Grump's 1970 1/2 Camaro had a set of 'Centerline' wheels up front same as Bob Lambeck's Dart. :)

P.S. Cool pic.

Re: life after Super Stock for the Hemi A-bodies?

It looks like 'Da Grump' was mixing & matching mag wheels too back then...

Re: life after Super Stock for the Hemi A-bodies?

I respectfully disagree as those are the original Cragar Super Tricks.
