This picture isn't too old, but the Cuda was owned by Dave Schmitz and my Dad's very good friend, Gary Sutton who raced the car for years. I have some memories of this car in "Uncle Gary's" garage. They'd fire up the Hemi (later to be a 440 car) and I'd run my 5 year old butt in the house.
Gary won the 1992 Winter Nationals in the B/SA class after many years of racing the car. More recently the 70 Cuda was in Modesto with Dave Schmitz for a while, and I believe it is now over seas in Northern Europe.
Somewhere in a box of pictures, I have a shot of that car from Fremont circa 79-80, with the Hemi in A/SA, plain black paint with a white interior. Had "Schmitz and Sutton" lettered on the door with "rainbow tape" letters!

He was dating a lady named Jan Clark which was my friends mother.

Modified, Too cool the same car is in the family for over 20 years  
And racing a 68 hemi RR in 68, you win!  
longer than that. my father bought the car i think in 69'
one of those that will never be sold or traded but always passed down from generation to generation.
