Clearly one of the best looking BO29 Hemi Barracuda's

1968 NHRA Super Stock Eliminator Runner-Up @ Springnationals
June 1968, SS/B National Record Holder @ 10.91

After the 1968 racing season, Don Grotheer purchased the Barracuda from
Cable Chrylser-Plymouth (who owned the car).
It was re-painted with the blue and orange stripe, and Don campaigned it in
SS/BA. He won the 1969 NHRA Winternationals Super Stock Eliminator, and re-set the
SS/BA National Record to 10.72 (from 10.83).

Another shot of Don Grotheer's B029 68 Hemi Barracuda with the newer paint job.
