It was re-painted later in the year, with Judy Lilly on the door and
Denver Plymouth Dealers high on the rear quarter panels.

In 1969 she posted at best of 10.52 @ 132.80.

As per the information, she got the car in August 68', spent 5 months
putting it together at a cost of $8000.

She was a Hot Rod Magazine feature article for April 1970.

good question Paul and one that i wonder about too. how many cars did S&M prepare and how many were built from legit cars and how many were "built" from regular Barracuda's?

Was it a green dart? If so I remember him from running at Milan. The guy was from Ohio. I'll have to dig up his name. Jake

HM,

I found that photo here:

Sorry, can't help you with the details; perhaps this fellow can:

"These are photographs I took in 1969 and 1970 at Minnesota Dragways in Coon Rapids, MN while I was their photographer and ambulance attendant."
