I have a shot of the Cuda, after the sale and repaint, and it still has the #784 on the rear quarter windows.
We ran it in the NASCAR ULTRA STOCK circuit that year.

Don Grotheer,

Switched from the 4-Speed in 1968, to the Automatic in 1969.

I have the magazine article some where that shows the car being built using parts from another donor car. I am not sure if either car was an original hemi car.

I'll go with what Jack Werst said.

Jack got the the 'second' built BO29, right after Sox & Martin got the first car.

The first cars were partially completed, and were not 100% Soup-to-Nuts done.

This is the original Hemi Cuda that belongs to Jimmy Lydon from Pittsburgh. At one time it was owned by Jimmy DeFrank, and Rick Houser drove it way back. Lydon has had it a long time....and, yes, it is in his game room at his home.

No kidding.
