If it has "real" VIN numbers on it I would be curious as to what they are. I was thinking that the car you were talking about was the one Charlie Blankenship had and sold to someone in TX a few years ago. That was the Parrillo & Cerrone Barracuda - I do know most of the history on that one back to day one. If you want to know more, let me know.

The car is a real B029, and it was sold by Blankenship to a collector in Texas in 2005 for $105K. It is in the S&M color scheme -- without any S&M graphics. The person that told me it was most likely a Jim Pancake car raced from the 70s to 1991 could be mistaken. No information given to me at this point has been verified -- just rumored.
