Got a call from a racer named Larry Abbott in 1971 from Kelly Chry-Ply in Marietta, GA. Said a 70 Hemi Cuda Convert was just traded in. My soon to be racing partner and I went up and $2400 later we had an original Hemi Cuda Convert. It was on the street about 5 months including in my college homecoming parade. Then it was off to Barnett Race Cars in Norcross, GA for a build. 13.60 atb 100+ mph on skinny polyglas tires before the build. Fast as 10.87 after setting the National record at 11.17. That was back when a college student and a guy working in a tire store could field a record holder.
It was all black, leather, power windows and a rim blow horn. 1 of 9 automatics. 14 total.
