68 "Riddler" Barracuda

[Hemi Moose]

So anyone have any ideas on what ever happened to Joe & Mark Coletti's 1968 340 Riddler Barracuda...is it still around somewhere or gone.

Don't know about the 'Cuda, but didn't the Duster end up in Div. 1? Thought I saw the car at the E-Town points race...circa '73...as SS car...(an easy transformation then.)

It didn't have the paint job in the picture posted here...possibly purple in color? I do remember "Coletti" and "Riddler" lettered on car...Did have a photo somewhere...but it's lost...

Could have been new owner, someone from Colletti's team in similar car, or Mark himself (on tour?)

Sorry Hemi Moose...didn't mean to steal the thread...I know you're trying to track down the 'Cuda! BTW, the fellow with the Coletti performance manual...that's really neat!

Was it the Coletti's Duster, Ed Hamburger's or,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

ss wannabee, there was another thread earlier about the Coletti Dusters a while back, just check a few pages back in the nostalgia forums, there's lots of info about them there...anyway here's another '69 340 Barracuda called 'King-Cuda' with the Coletti name on the front fenders.

Hemi Moose...the "King Cuda" is the one...that fatdsoto mentioned...BTW...the '57 Delivery that Mark is chasing...is Cal Method...

Did you notice...the "hand"...just below the LH grille...on the "Riddler" Cuda...

Paul... Dan Hicks from Maine purchased the Hamburger Duster and ran it as SS/IA.
Dan was at that '73 E-Town points meet going rounds with the car...might have won the event? Car was run at all the New England area tracks among others...not sure where it is today....

Went to many Northeast Div. 1 events during that time frame...don't recall the Bill Davitt car...maybe he didn't travel?
