I also see traces of baby blue paint on the lower trunk edge just above where the license plate would go...Now as for who's car it was originally, I think I just answered my own question...it is Don Carlton's 'Lil Thumper' baby blue B029 '68 Hemi Barracuda.

yes this is Don Carltons Lil Thumper Barracuda now owned by a friend of mine in Maryland. he has been looking for pictures of this Barracuda in Sox and Martin colors and more history on it but cant find any

I posted a few pics of this Sox & Martin '68 Hemi Barracuda in some of my previous posts...just look for the car with the A/MP class on the windows.

Here's another one of a Sox & Martin '68 Hemi Barracuda that they repainted and sold to their race customers...or maybe someone just painted it themselves to look like a S&M car.
