Thanks BIGDAD I always wanted a pic of Petty's Barracuda. My distant cousin's husband Freman Treadway built that car when he worked for Petty. My uncle match raced him with a Ford Falcon at Roxboro NC.
I used to have a pic of a 65 on the front of a Summit sale flyer. It was light green or yellow and had a 72 Duster scoop on it and no front bumper. It had to have been in the mid 90's as this is where I got the idea to do that scoop. I used to be a copy cat too.LOL
That Barracuda of Petty's is the only car my Uncle ever admitted to have beaten him every pass up the track. He said he would leave in the falcon ahead of Petty and the ole hemi would pull around him at the stripe. For those that know Roxboro they used to run 1/4 mile there.
