Re: 68 "Riddler" Barracuda
 

Don't know about the 'Cuda, but didn't the Duster end up in Div. 1? Thought I saw the car at the E-Town points race...circa '73...as SS car...(an easy transformation then.)

It didn't have the paint job in the picture posted here...possibly purple in color? I do remember "Coletti" and "Riddler" lettered on car...Did have a photo somewhere...but it's lost...

Could have been new owner, someone from Colletti's team in similar car, or Mark himself (on tour?)

Sorry Hemi Moose...didn't mean to steal the thread...I know you're trying to track down the 'Cuda! BTW, the fellow with the Coletti performance manual...that's really neat!

ss wannabee, there was another thread earlier about the Coletti Dusters a while back, just check a few pages back in the nostalgia forums, there's lots of info about them there...anyway here's another '69 340 Barracuda called 'King-Cuda' with the Coletti name on the front fenders.

Hemi Moose...the "King Cuda" is the one...that fatdsoto mentioned...BTW...the '57 Delivery that Mark is chasing...is Cal Method...

Did you notice...the "hand"...just below the LH grille...on the "Riddler" Cuda...

Re: 68 "Riddler" Barracuda
 

Paul... Dan Hicks from Maine purchased the Hamburger Duster and ran it as SS/IA.
Dan was at that '73 E-Town points meet going rounds with the car...might have won the event? Car was run at all the New England area tracks among others...not sure where it is today....

Went to many Northeast Div. 1 events during that time frame...don't recall the Bill Davitt car...maybe he didn't travel?

Re: 68 "Riddler" Barracuda
 

Anyone know what Mark's doing today? Somebody's got to have that photo I recall from a magazine... of Mark...in the winner's circle getting a "smootch" from Linda Vaughn...Lucky guy!

Re: 68 "Riddler" Barracuda
 

Mark passed away a few years ago and his dad, Joe is also gone

Re: 68 "Riddler" Barracuda
 

Yep to all your questions...I was also wondering myself what the meaning of the 'hand placed in the grille' was all about.

Re: 68 "Riddler" Barracuda
 

Yes I've seen those old photos myself before too...taken at the '69 Winternationals.
