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.

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

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

Frank, you're absolutely correct. One of the earlier posters confused the front wheels on Bob Lambeck's 1968 Dart with Centerline Auto Drag wheels, which, to the best of my knowledge, were not available in 1972. The Moose and I were just having a little fun--no mockery intended.

I'm curious what race this is, if indeed this is a 1972 photo? My guess it's Ontario Motor Speedway. If so, then it's late 1971 and the rear Super Tricks were available by then contrary to what I believed based upon pix I've seen.

I posted those photos of Bill Jenkins 70 1/2 Camaro to show the difference of the two wheels in question that everyone was asking about...Notice the front wheels on Grumpy's 70 1/2 Camaro on the earlier photo...and this photo with the same chrome center hub...there's definitely more bolts in the earlier photo.

So did Cragar build two types of Super Tricks an earlier version & later version then...
