Re: Original hemi dart information
The Yankee Peddler car was in Indiana for years and was sold a couple times after that and now has been redone.

Re: Original hemi dart information
Two Blasts From The Past:
I was about two years from racing personally yet in 1970 (or 71 when I took the photo), but here is a shot I took of Castaldo's car at Island. The gentleman in the photo steering is one of his crew guys, Rick Rickman, who I would later work with in the Parts Department at Spring Valley Dodge in Spring Valley, NY. Charlie Licata, and Frank Zangaro (name partialy blocked) were the balance of the crew. Bill Rolik SS 1514 Last edited by Bill Rolik; 09-16-2009 at 08:10 AM. |

Re: Original hemi dart information
I have not talked to Eddie in a while, since he moved to FL, but here is the Eddie Lukas "Over The Hill Gang" Dart at Bill Hayes' welding shop in Paterson, NJ. With Tim Richards power, this was a stout car. One day, he called me and said "I want to make the car lighter, and I don't care what it takes or what it costs". So he had me obtain a new, replacement complete FLOOR panel (remember, this is in 1976) and then got it dipped, as in chemically enhanced, and installed. He then wanted Hayes to install a roll bar (not a cage) made of exhaust tubing. There was a big battle over that one. I did not witness Hayes actually installing it, but it may have happened! Where this car is now, I have no clue.
