does anyone know of a '68 Hemi 'cuda found in Wilson, NC? i don't know if it was a real one or not but there was a former racecar that sat in a backyard in that area for years and then it disappeared.

April 1968 (Cecil County Drag-O-Way)

One the earliest tests with the 68' Hemi Barracuda.

At the time, the 68' Hemi Barracuda was 'not yet' legal for NHRA SS/B or SS/BA.

This is the car Sam Pannuty purchased from S&M in 69.
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.

Now we're getting some where, Jackarnew do you have any idea where that car is now, or who owns it.
