Not a real BO car. If I am not mistaken this was built as a bracket car for Tommy Slaughter's son (Banning & Slaughter).

It does look like George's car but it's not. Yes, he has had it a long time. I spoke with him circa 1991 at Mopars at Englistown show and he told me (and a buddy of mine) he was in the process of building a SS/A Barracuda. It's a damn shame he decided to modify an uncut original car. It was so original that Chrysler (Chrysler Historical Society?) wanted to buy it from him but he declined. Bad move, in my opinion, for Chrysler would'be paid top dollar for the car and with that money George could've built a clone and bought several Ray Barton Hemi engines for what he would have gotten money-wise from the sale. More important than that, an uncut original car, a rare piece of automotive history, would've been preserved.

Here's a photo I took of George in the pits at Raceway Park in the mid-1990s along with similar comments in a post I made in the Hemi Dart thread back in 2009:

I haven't seen or spoke to George since the 1990s. I have no idea if he's still racing or not.

Good morning Gang,
Regarding the "guess who the driver is", I'll take a shot and say Judy Lilly.
Back in the day, her Cuda was the only one(I think, not 100% sure) that MPC produced a model car for. They sold back then for $1.50/ $2.00.
Find one now with the original shrink wrap still attached, and you're looking at 6-800 dollar range.
If I'm correct, do I get a prize? LOL
God Bless,
Walt

Lee Hodge did the restoration my friend purchased the 68 Cuda this summer from a Tim O'Neil who had the restoration done. I'm looking for any history on the car for my friend.
