Smile Re: Original Hemi Cuda Info.......

Just spoke to Bob Carpinet. He's in the process of restoring the cuda back to as last raced in I believe late 70's. I gave him this site info & told him he should register & log on. He is going to e/m me some current pics, and I'll attempt to post them when received.

A friend of one of my employees has this car in his shop, he told me about it last winter and I didn't believe him until he showed me some pics he took of it.

Rich Thomas's cuda as it sits today. I don't believe he owned two cars, but I could be wrong..

I was fortunate to catch this car at the mopar nats years ago... by far the most uncut barracuda I have ever seen

Never wanted to buy a car so bad in my life !!!

What's your source for that? From what I know, Rich only owned one Barracuda .Either the black 'Cuda above is Rich Thomas' old car or Reuben's is. Both can't be.

Here is a photo of the car with Rich Thomas on the doors. Paint looks brand new in this photo! Where else will you see a paint job like this, definitely one of a kind by Imperial Kustoms
I can still see Rich Thomas lettering on the doors.
