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.

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?

Re: Original Hemi Cuda Info.......
 
I too suspected a potential Sox & Martin connection due to the blue headlights and possibly the molded in rear spoiler. I know that I've seen a vintage pic of Ronnie Sox launching a BO29 Barracuda that had been updated with '69 grill, header panel, hood and trunk valence panel and I'm fairly certain that this particular S & M 'Lil Boss was sporting a rear deck spoiler very much like the one pictured here. I'll try to locate that pic from my old stack of Super Stock mags and post it here if I do.
