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 ![confused confused](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/confused.gif) 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 ![work work](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/work.gif) Your probably correct on it (the Cuda) being race by him in the last century ![grin grin](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/grin.gif) 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 ![work work](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/work.gif) 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 ![up up](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/thumbs_up.gif) He raced it all over the country for several years for Robin As far as him racing a early wedge car, only he knows ![shruggy shruggy](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/shruggy.gif)

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.
