Super Trick Wheels
My Hemi Dart was originally bought at Mr. Norms Grand Spaulding Dodge in Chicago, IL by Richard Shipley from Baltimore, MD and raced primarily on the east coast. Originally a 4-speed car it was switched to an automatic quickly to be competitive. Only raced by Richard for a couple years it then went to Joe DeSantis who raced it until around 1972 when it was retired. There were a few owners after that then the car was stripped and let outside to rot in a field, but luckily was rescued by a friend who sold it to me about 10 years ago. I have been collecting parts to do the restoration and am close to starting on it. I bought aluminum slots for the car and will be taking the tricks off it soon. Here are a couple pictures in it's glory days...
