Norm raced a 1968 SS Barracuda back in the 1970's. I believe he sold it in the 1980's.
I'm wondering who has it now, and what does it look like?

Danny Smith's Hemi Barracuda, which was the former car of Norm Carson.

In the ad, the engine builder's name should be "Lambeck" not "Lamberk"; Bob did the Hemi in my RR, and for quite a while was really good on them; might still be. The cage is interesting, too; my ex-SS/IA Duster has the same kind of downbars, which strictly speaking are no longer NHRA-legal, though I haven't been bounced out of tech for it yet. Commonly referred to as a Butler design, though to the best of our knowledge Herb McCandless did the one in my car.

I also heard a rumor that this might be Judy Lilly's old Hemi Barracuda, and it's just that 'a rumor'. But according to the ad in the first post, Paul Rossi sold the car to Norm Carson. Does anyone else here know where Rossi got the car from or the real story about this cars origins.
