"Another Street racing car that comes to mind is Richie Sansonia's Barracuda - I don't know if this was an original car but it was a Hemi powered street racer - could this have been the Baptiste car? "

There's a picture of "Richie Six Pack's" 'Cuda in one issue of High Performance Cars or Hot Cars, etc. from the early-mid 1970s. The photo in the article showed the front end of the car with its hood off. Without spending hours trying to find it in my collection, what I recall it had a modified look to it. If memory serves me correct since it's been more than a few years since I read that particular issue, it was a 1969 'Cuda--at least its front end was.

George's car, from what I was told, was a very low mileage (i.e. not trashed) pristine original--Richie's was not. It's a real shame he decided to turn it into a race car when a "plain Jane" Slant Six, 318 or even 340 'Cuda would've sufficed.

Oh well...
