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.

Danny, I'm 99% sure this photo is from early 1972. Though the front wheels look like Centerlines, they are not. Bob Lambeck had a Plymouth Duster by 1973.

M68,,, If those wheels aren't Centerlines,, then I'd like to know what they are, since I see a whole lot of rivets as opposed to the fewer bolts that Cragar used on the Super Tricks.
Looking at posting # 56, in the middle picture, of Bob Lambeck's Cuda launching, the front wheels, to my old eyeballs, look like the Cragars, whereas the wheels on the Dart have a different appearance to me, and I'm not referring the chrome center caps.

Danny, I think your right...I remember seeing those wheels when they came out new...but it's been so long since I've seen a set like those that it's hard to tell whether they were Cragars or Centerlines...
but I see rivets or are they bolts.

Here's a few more pics of Bob Lambeck's '68 Hemi Barracuda...did Bob also run a W2 small block, because I always thought he ran big blocks.

At first glance, the front wheels do look like Centerlines with Cragar polished aluminum plate in the center. Perhaps Bob had a prototype set of Super Tricks with rivets as opposed to bolts? The only one who knows for sure is Mr. Lambeck.
