Daryl,

Still stuck on the Michigan quest for LO23 cars.

Hard to believe only '3' original ordered LO23 cars were
Michigan-based.

* Don R. Brewer Dodge, (Port Huron),,,,(Gil Clark; driver)
* Robert Alton, Town & Country Dodge (Farmington)
* Richard 'Dick' Smith, Town & Country Dodge (Farmington)

We can throw out Van Dyke Dodge, as no has seen any documentation or car photo's.

Anyone have any ideas,,,,,,,,,,,or thoughts..

'Top' Michigan Dodge Dealers;
* Arborland Dodge, Ann Arbor

I did some digging and it seems that this B029 Hemi Barracuda was listed as the Old Trapper on the Barrett Jackson's auction website, it also listed a full VIN # and description of the car...I knew that they ran a L023 Hemi Dart called the Old Trapper, but I wonder who's B029 this was originally...anyone, Mark J.

This is a very famous factory B029 Super Stocker raced from 1968 up until a few years ago out of the Northwest. It was known as Old Trapper. All documents and magazines go with the car. Galen Govier certified with papers. Ray Barton engine.

As far as I know, there was no "Old Trapper" 68 Hemi Barracuda - a 70 SS/DA Barracuda yes, a 68 Hemi Dart, 67 Hemi Belvedere - no 68 Barracuda though.
This is the Southland Flyer that the Teuton's raced for many years. They bought the car from Ed Miller - not his original car though.

Mark's right there was no Old Trapper BO29 car . They campaigned the 67 X, Didluck's LO23, 2 70 Hemi Cudas. all accounted for. The only BO29 raced out of western canada , in particular Alberta-home of Rhonagon's Old Trappers, was Renald Griess's BO29 late 1990s/early 2000s before he sold it. Allyn Lee and his brother did have one of the Old Trapper 70 Cudas, ran it for years after they acquired it from Rhonagon.

I talked to owner ( He is in next town) prior to Barrett and asked if if the car used to be an Old Trapper car. I was driving to Walmart and saw to car being
loaded and stopped. He seemed to be under impression that it was a former Old Trapper car. He has a BO Dart in his shop among other cars that he allowed me to see.
