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 !!!

Very cool would be great to get another owner posting here.

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.

the black Barracuda is not the Rich Thomas car, the Reuben Pribyl Barracuda is the Rich Thomas car notice the rear spoiler

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.

Just noticed the blue headlights. I do not know the history of this one so asking is there a Sox & Martin connection? They did some with blue headlights I believe.

I think the headlights went along with the blue paint scheme.
The attached photo is a winning finals run. Not sure of the race, I have just seen a picture with the news clipping claiming the win, but the writing was too small to read. Can anybody assist?
