Always liked Eddie Smith's old West Virginia Hemi Barracuda's that he raced.

Dan Mogan's L023 Hemi Dart, one of the earliest known L023 VIN #'s.

And Classracer member Marfen's L023 Hemi Dart.

Wild 60's paint on this 68 Hemi Barracuda.

Here are some early prototype photo's of the first 68 Hemi Barracuda test mule, the car started out as a 67 model.

I believe it was orange and white. ^^^^^^^

Actually the 68 Hemi Barracuda Mule Car had two paint jobs, the first was Orange & Cream and the second was Orange & White. The car was restored using the first paint job.
