Never knew that. Thanks Bob. I knew they came with the warranty card, For whatever that was worth. Not many guys kept them, for obvious reasons. I was surprised that my old Landy stick car still had it after all the owners it went through.
Bob, is your current car an early build?

After Bob George re-aquired his original Hemi Dart after twenty some years, he took it to Pittsburgh to "mess around". He took it through a "drive thru" at 10.90 something 120+, no helmet, no belts fastened....the devil made him do it. I took this shot of the big old bear crawling out of it after the pass, before track management came down for an earnest discussion...

Steve,they said I could make a 14 second run,I thought I did.

Maybe the blue tinted head lights were the giveaway...yes I think it's the ex-Sox & Martin B029.

Noticed where the hood comes down in the middle is white on the other picture if that makes any difference...

Frank, in an old conversation Jack Arnew posted here, he once said that when Sam Panutty bought the Sox & Martin '68 Hemi Barracuda off them, he was told to repaint the car, thus the red & white 'Poor Boy' paint scheme.

Here's the '68 Hemi Barracuda of Sam Panutty called 'Poor Boy'...later sold to Jack Arnew and called the 'Carnivorous Cuda'.
