Daryl,
From what I got,
''Town & Country Plymouth' was the 'big' Southwest Plymouth Performance Dealer
in the 1960's.
Yes, they did order a BO29, and it was shipped to them in March 1968.
But, when it got there [on a high-bed Dodge Hauler}, they had an issue
when taking the car off the Hauler.
The BO29 was rolled off the truck. But it went to ground hard, when
the right side Ramp support-rails 'let go', and the Barracuda crashed on it's
back right side.
The quarter-panel was buckled, as well as the trunk area, and the
rear glass panel popped out, as the 'B-Pillar' also buckled.
But even worse, the right-rear frame-rail was bent upwards.
The Barracuda was put back on the Dodge Hauler, and sent back
to Eleven Mile Road.
But, 'Town & Country' cancelled the replacement BO29 order, as
Chrysler Performance would not give them a 'free replacement'
BO29.
