I know Art,(AKA Mr. Six Pak) he use to also drive a 1965 Hemi car for a car dealer in Victorville, Robin Pellezeir (SP? on the last name?) I don't remember if his first SS six pak E body was a Cuda or Challenger, maybe even a1969 b body As far as Eric six pack car I believe his first one was a 1970 or 1971 Cuda

I sold my M.W. stocker in 1988, I'm almost positive Eric was not drag racing at that time Your probably correct on it (the Cuda) being race by him in the last century His changing from the Cuda to the Challenger body was about the same time Don little did the same switch in the same class on his Cuda Evidently the T/A fiberglass hood and two inch longer wheelbase is worth the swap

I should call Art and ask him if he bought Robins old A990 hemi car, he did really well in it back then He raced it all over the country for several years for Robin As far as him racing a early wedge car, only he knows

The Barracuda was indeed the Art Pacheco "Six Pack Performance" SS/FA Car, which was sold to Eric Bell. Eric ran it for a while, but sold it to Mike because he wanted to do a ground up, brand new car...which was the Orange Challenger.
I thought Mike was crazy when he switched it from 440-6 to 383 combo, but it's worked out really well for him!!

I believe the GT/CA combo is an Eddy headed 6 pack deal, same thing Eric Bell ran in the Chally and now has in the 68 Barracuda he bought from Mazzolini...

Met Mike and his wife about 3 weeks ago on a Sunday afternoon I was driving my 71 Cuda up Scottsdale road and there was a 71 purple hemi Cuda stuck on the side of the road his fuel pump failed. I stop to help him , I met him and his wife very nice people. Yes they have a pretty nice collection of street cars as well.
