Do any of you guys know any of it's history? Who built it, etc? Thanks in advance for any help/info! Last edited by jumpinjack; 12/08/11 12:10 PM.

Not sure why just sayin I know a guy that would entertain selling a 68 that can run anywhere from S/C to S/ST and works killer in the .90 wars "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know."

This black one is a lot closer to me, and there's just something about the way the car sits that I like. Anyway.. I made a deal on it. Got it with a new JW glide, converter and shifter for $16.5. Now.. I hope one of you guys doesn't tell me that you remember see it on it's roof a couple of years back! Still like to find out some history. If any of you can help I'd really appreciate it. Thanks again.

I would try calling him and asking him some questions about it... He is racing a 64 Savoy now.. If that isn't him I apologize.. 2011 RAM3500 1967 Fastback Barracuda with some go fast goodies.

The Belvedere/Savoy in Stock and a 68 Cuda in SS/AH. I believe this is an older car of his. His son also races in the bracket wars. "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know."
