I have a lot more calls and research to do, but....

I talked to Glen Warfel today. Super guy! He confirmed that he bought the car from Reid Whisnant. He also confirmed that he sold the car and it became "smokin joe". Cool story, he traded the Dart he had for the Coronet so that Reid could get a ProStock car.

THANK YOU EVERYBODY!!!

Does anyone have pictures of the Scat Pack Dodge or Holton Dodge car?

Let us know how this plays out. I would also check with the Barnett Bros, for some reason, I think Reid may have gotten the 67 from them although it might not have been theirs originally. I heard that they had 2- 67 cars - I doubt they bought them both new. Glad to be of help.

All I found so far is one (old) pic Barnett 67.
This one runs full side trim, probably not the same car if the info the links below is correct.

I will 100% post what I find out. This is just TOO COOL to let be forgotten. I have a lot more calls to make.

I spoke with Glenn Barnett today. He checked with his dad, and yes, this was the 2nd Barnett wo23 car. It was sold new out of Lenox Dodge to Jim Pevey (not sure on spelling, sorry if wrong). Jim wanted 4 speed car, so he traded Warren. Glenn said that his dad sold the car to Reid, renamed "Holton Dodge". Warren Barnett had no idea that Glen Warfel bought it, renamed it "Scat Pack Dodge". The car was sold again and became "smokin joe".

The car was lettered up exactly as the other Barnett car, only with the "A".

If this car could only talk...........

Glad you were able to put this history together on your car. How are you going to restore it? In my opinion (that's all it is is an opinion) the 67 cars always seem to get restored back to the white paint - to me this is boring. The character of an old race car is in its heritage. Race paint, wheels, ect... make them stand apart from a plain white Coronet - just my 2 cents. Glad to have helped put your cars history together. Any pics of how the car looks today?
Thanks,

Thanks again for evrything. This is how the car looks now. I have a parts car with nice quarters and body parts. Also have really nice chrome for it. I intend to put it back as a race car. I like the white stock look but love the look and sound of a race car. It also adds character.
