Got a link to this thread from a friend Donald Moats. Very cool of you moparx. I know the importance of finding the history and as much background as possible for these old warhorses, because I have been doing the same for mine for over 10 years. I have an original LO23 . Most people know me by "liteweight" on classracer.com.
Anyway cudous to you taking the time to do this for thwe right reason rather than for $$$$$$. Not many people would do that.
For the record there were apprx. 70 BO29 Barracudas built and 80 LO23 Darts
Here are a couple pics I have of Ray Christians car before Paul Emero acquired it.

ps If you have a BUNCH of spare time check out a little thread I started on classracer.com looking for the history on my car. There are over 4300 replies and 1,000,000 views since 2009. LOTS of great info and pics. Unfortunately some pics are starting to be deleted over time but still lots there. A GREAT information source for these Hurst built cars
