Reid Whisnant also had a 67 car - might have been one of the Barnett's. I think that the 67 car was traded to a guy in FL for Reid's 68 Dart. If this is a possibility, let me know and I think I might have a little additional info - I have to check my files.

I was thinking, do you by chance know the 'cuda in the background of the photo? It looks like a Hurst Cuda from what I can see. the name Bill C???? is on the glass.

Chris,
I did notice the 68 Barracuda and I am not familiar with it - sure would like to see some additional pics.
Attached are some pics that I believe are the same car. The first is when Reid Whisnant raced the car - I think that Reid painted the car gold (that was his color from then on) - If I remember correctly, he traded the car to Glen Warfel (G&D Musclecar - Orange Park, FL)
I am not sure if the second pic is when Glen owned it as it looks like a different name on the door - but note the decals in the rear windows - most appear to be the same - might have changed oil brand. I am not sure if Reid bought this car new or not. The Holton Dodge might be misleading. Often the selling dealer would sponsor a car for one year (the car's model year and another would sponsor after that. Check to see if Holton Dodge received a car - if they did - might not be the car - if they didn't there is a good chance that it is. You might want to check with Reid's son - he might be able to point you in the right direction as well.

Here is the second pic. I had to crop this quite a bit in order to get it to load - I have a bigger pic if you need it

BTW there was a 68 Barracuda called Smoking Joe as well - I am not 100% sure who it was though

Both "smokin joe" and those wo23s have no side trim. Interesting.....

I had to provide proof of ownership for ChryslerHistorical to release the dealer info on my car Is there a way to get a list of which dealers got cars? Even without vins, it would be help out alot.

Looks like I have some great leads. thank you very much!

Re: Seeking info wo23

I found this too. Is that a puff of smoke on its quarter panel? I cant see it too well.....

Re: Seeking info wo23

Charlie,
That picture really makes me think we might be onto something - with the 5-slot mags.
Not unusual in those days to rub out the current owners lettering and put your own on.
Chris, I thought that the guy in FL (can't remember his name right now) put together books on the max wedge and 64-5 hemi S/S cars - all info from Chrysler - vin, color, dealer delivery, ect... I thought that he was going to do the 67 cars as well - I will try to get his name. One question - might have already mentioned - is your car a stick or auto?
