Yes, the same Joe Smith who drove the Fenner-Tubbs 65' A-990 Plymouth.

I did not know that they also had a factory B029 '68 Hemi Barracuda as well...I always seen their '65 Plymouth A990 that was later converted into a A/FX altered wheel base car in many old photos.

How about a few more old shots of some of the DeFrank & Cohen '68 Hemi Barracuda's...

OK southern racers. In the late '80's R&R Speed Shop in Huntsville AL raced an original '68 Dart. I don't know where it came from but I arranged the sale of it to a guy named Bill (not Blair) from Concord NC.

Does anyone have information on where it came from or where it went after the sale?

If it is the one I am thinking of - it was originally called "Rumble Bee" - probably still was - originally out of NC - it is still around owned by a collector/racer in PA - hing he drives a CJ now.
The white Barracuda is Ray Christian's old car - here owned by Bob Stape - former manager of Keystone Dragway

Nelson Stoltz restored his old Willys - talked to him and saw the car at the HRR in Bowling Green a number of years ago.
