Stewart,
The Carlton Cuda was damaged in a towing accident - bought by S&M and Carlton was hired to drive for them. This was Don's break into the big time. The car was repaired with a 69 front end (S&M also did this in 69- not sure how they got away with this in S/S though - Landy did it too) Well Carlton's car was painted in S&M colors and in early 70
S&M ran 2-68 cars and while they were sorting out the 70 P/S car - if you ever see pit shots from Pomona 70 you will see all three cars. I think when Don left S&M was when Herb McCandless was hired full-time. Don drove a RR in 69, the 68 Cuda and If I am not mistaken also the Duster that Herb McCandless later drove in P/S (70).
BTW the other Cuda in the S&M shop is NOT the Cossey car.
S&M only had one Superbird - the car in the background was a customer car - and a Daytona - if I am not mistaken a Disc Jockey in SC raced the car -Chuck Neeley I belive.
