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.

That's a pretty good looking graphic on it now.

Thanks. I think so too. Car has stories to tell. Im trying to figure how to get under the gold paint and see if any of the white car with graphics is still under it.
