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

PS Muchos Thanks to Terry Wetzel herefor giving me the heads up info on that picture.

Your welcome, wish I could have found out more. As soon as I saw that photo from New York National I knew it was the same Dart. The silver with dark (burgundy?) inset, unpolished Super Tricks and tunnel ram was all there.

Daryl,
I am pretty sure we have discussed this before (we have been here a few years) but do you have any idea where the picture that is for lack of a better term, super imposed onto this (body shop) picture? If you look closely you can see a closer shot of the right rear quarter panel and bumper. We have talked several times of the "silver Dart" two tone tunnel ram picture showing a possible dent just in front of the rear bumper on that side. Thinking if someone has that picture, we might be able to see if there was or was not a repair there.


Look closely:

And NO I am not implying with the above picture it is Daryls car because of the wheel opening damage.


We already know better.


This car has a home.

Hi Charlie A, Hi Liteweight


I'm Vali from Switzerland. I have the THT 4 Speed LO23 Dart.
