The First "Hemi Cuda"?

I believe the original 1965 Barracuda 43 Petty drag car was buried in the woods on their property after it was destroyed in an accident. Here's a thread from a few years ago.

The Petty's buried everything on their property. I was lucky enough to meet Dale Inman a few years ago, there was some confusion about where the famous Darlington crash car was, he flipped it like 12 times. Dale pointed to a place in the parking lot and said, "That car is buried under that building" there is no saving it. We buried everything back then because we didnt want the technology getting out.
