SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?
 

Watching Indy this year noticed a few Hemi cars missing , then got looking back at former entry lists and couldn't help wonder ,where are they ? There must be a lot of cars parked collecting dust , not just in the AH class but past SS/ A and AA Hemi cars as there are alot of cars as well don't seem to be active anywhere . The point here is to get some mothballed or inactive cars out there again in many venues ,Hemi shootouts , being local Hemi shootouts or otherwise . So it would be interesting to start posting here on this post some cars sitting that may be up for grabs and start finding new homes with people that have interest in promoting these cars again for next generations . I know there is a for sale section but this is more brand specific , this could get interesting !

One of Ogburns Cudas (Jenkins ?) was for sale on racing junk awhile back ,not sure if it changed hands. The Houser DeFrank Cuda is now Steve Comellas I believe, was at Indy this year. What ever happened to Fahertys dart?

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?
 

He still owns it..runs SS/AS

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?
 

Where's Dean Mink? Is he still racing ?

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?
 

What has happened to the Percy race team?

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?
 

I am hoping that next year, being the 50th anniversary of the Hemi Darts/Barracuda, that many of the parked cars will return to Indy. This year it was a brutal race at Indy with many broken engines. I would think there could be 32 or more cars next year. Dyno "Gold Coast Hemi".

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?
 

Sorry to hear that.

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?
 

"Fast " Eddie Schartmans dart , never saw it again after Schartman sold it years ago ,anyone know its whereabouts ? Heard it was getting revamped years ago to resurface ,never saw it though.

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?
 

The Dart is in Indiana. Probably never to run again.

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?
 

Doug Duell just bought the blue Sorcerer 'cuda.

Al Corda

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?
 

Is it in a private collection or on display somewhere ?Sounds like theres more of a story to this one Frito?

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?
 

Last I heard the owner had the car updated, but then fell ill. He's a little up there in age as well, not someone who is new to Hemi S/S cars either. Just out of it for a while.

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?
 

Here's a couple more for you's

Real cars too!!!!!

George Baptiste BO29
John Friel LO23

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?
 

I have bought Percy's car the Motech car. If all goes well I plan on being at Indy next year. I will have no chance but it's been 27 years since I have been there and saw these awesome cars go down the track!

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?
 

Will be great to see it there ,lots of history with that one !

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?
 

I just saw some photos of your Motech Barracuda on the Thunder Valley Dragway Facebook page. Where are you from? I love your car! Is it a real BO29 car? Are you familiar with the Hairbender/Hairbender Too? Sorry for all of the questions, just excited I guess. I have an LO23 Hemi Dart, and am just getting it all finished up to take to Thunder Valley. Was hoping to have it done in time for this year, but the engine builder held me up a little. I did run my McLaren there a few weeks ago though, just for giggles. I am in Sioux Falls.

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?
 

Lydon & Johnson's Barracuda,

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?
 

The car is a body in white and John Tedder ran it and he worked for Chrysler as a instructor for Motech and I believe he was a engineer for them also. There are a lot of guys that know the entire history of the car. I think then Percy Johns then ran the car. I know the Hairbender car well as you know it is a uncut BO29 car I live by Wall Lake

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?
 

I see, thank you. Well, its still a terrific car! I would love to check it out in person some time. Maybe see you at a Thunder Valley next year. Small world! Not sure what to expect my LO23 will run with the new engine. Last time it went down the strip with its old 426 it ran 9.80s. I would expect at least low 9s with the new Tim Banning/FHO 604 Hemi. Hoping to see dyno numbers tomorrow! Take care. Clint in Sioux Falls

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?
 

Larry Sheays Cuda? Darrell Marvel had it before he got Buckys , thought John Baughman had it last . Where did it go?

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?
 

Where have the Eddie Smith "West Virginia Hemi" cars gone?

Re: SS/A , SS/AA , SS/AH hemis , parked?
 

- Eddie's first '68, a Dart, has been restored back to Max Hurley's paint. Max bought it from Eddie.
- The Ex-Sox & Martin ('74 Boycott S/S) car is restored to S&M colors in FL.
- John Troxell has Eddie's black and red car that he campaigned in the early 80's. Ex-Bob Porter car, now painted white/silver. For Sale on and off in Hemmings.
- Bill Brooks in Florida has the black/white Mopar themed paint car..
- Norm Scott in the upper Northwest has the car that Dean Nicopolis drove for Eddie
- John and Steve Baughman had one of the Barracudas.
- Steve Kent's car was an Ex-Smith car.
- I believe the car Don Cloake has is an Ex-Smith car.
- Eddie's last BO29 car sold at Mecum earlier this year in legal trim for $85k.
- The orange BO29 car Michael ran a few times is hiding in a private collection.
- Rich Locker's car is an Ex-Smith car.

Those are the one's I can think of off the top of my head. I'm probably missing a solid 10 or more '68 Barracudas that they had.

Thanks Steve.
