I talked with Bob Malcom at length about Billy at Mopars at the Strip this year, apparently he was a neighbor of Billy's. He had some interesting things to say about him! Bob asked me if I knew whatever happened to his 68 Barracuda, and I told him he was sitting right next to it! My boss owns his 68 Barracuda SS/AA. Here it is in it's present configuration. 4878475-IM000649.JPG (477 downloads) Last edited by Rhinodart; 12/14/08 12:36 PM.

Here it is in it's present configuration. if it's a documented Billy car why is it not restored with the Billy paint? I would think it would be much more valuble and interesting in that form. The paint on the car now is in excellent shape, though I have tried to persuade my boss to paint it he will not. It was last raced in Canada in it's current configuration and ran just under 9 seconds flat, so it is a typical well-used SS/AA and has been "updated" through the years. We are currently restoring an original Hemi Dart which was hacked to death, so one at a time!
