What's your source for that? From what I know, Rich only owned one Barracuda .Either the black 'Cuda above is Rich Thomas' old car or Reuben's is. Both can't be.

the black Barracuda is not the Rich Thomas car, the Reuben Pribyl Barracuda is the Rich Thomas car notice the rear spoiler

Here is a photo of the car with Rich Thomas on the doors. Paint looks brand new in this photo! Where else will you see a paint job like this, definitely one of a kind by Imperial Kustoms
I can still see Rich Thomas lettering on the doors.

Just noticed the blue headlights. I do not know the history of this one so asking is there a Sox & Martin connection? They did some with blue headlights I believe.

I think the headlights went along with the blue paint scheme.
The attached photo is a winning finals run. Not sure of the race, I have just seen a picture with the news clipping claiming the win, but the writing was too small to read. Can anybody assist?

I too suspected a potential Sox & Martin connection due to the blue headlights and possibly the molded in rear spoiler. I know that I've seen a vintage pic of Ronnie Sox launching a BO29 Barracuda that had been updated with '69 grill, header panel, hood and trunk valence panel and I'm fairly certain that this particular S & M 'Lil Boss was sporting a rear deck spoiler very much like the one pictured here. I'll try to locate that pic from my old stack of Super Stock mags and post it here if I do.

Was wondering, if anybody on this thread is familiar with 68 cuda owned by barry hutter out of macon georgia from the late 70's early 80's? Im looking for pictures.
