Percy Johns told me that this Hemi Barracuda is not an original "BO29 code" Barracuda. It started out as a body-in-white and hit the drag strip sometime in 1970. He indicated that there was another John Tedder MoTech Barracuda that probably was an original Hemi car, but his was not.

Jimmy Daniels told me that his Dad purchased this car sometime 2002 from George Fitzpatrick and ran it till 2006 when he sold it to Percy Johns. That sale occurred before the red Hemi Dart was purchased from Ray Barton in late 2006.

I saw the car at Maple Grove and took these photos on Sunday June 26, 2011. The car was entered in a Nostalgia Super stock class and had an elapsed time of 9.10 in shoe polish on the windshield.

FYI
I bought the car from Fred Hanson out of Texas
