I've broken enough Super Tricks loose over the years for front half polishing to know that the wheels in the photo are Centerlines,, so, I'm curious as to when this picture was taken. Did Bob run one of these Darts in Pro Stock as late as '73 or is this a tribute car at a later event. Its a neat shot, but I'll admit its got me thinking.

Hey Danny
This car is a real LO Dart. It currently resides in Minnesotta. Quite a few 68 cars had the side markers either welded shut or converted to the rectangular ones. Usually the factory backed cars had this done to them to appease MaMopar, keeping up with the current model year. You'll notice Lambeck also had a 69 grille in it also.

No I haven't spoke with Lambeck in a few years.
