i was gifted this certi card on saturday. anyone know this car ?

very cool and rare

i wonder if the car still exists, and if it was campaigned, what name it went under ?

Go to Classracer.com, there is a section on Hemi Cudas and Hemi Darts, I am sure someone there can help with all the history possible.

thanks steve ! i'll try there.

On classracer.com go to "nostalgia stock and super stok" section then near the top you will find the thread "original hemi Cuda info" and put it there, many knowledgable guys check that thread.

i did that yesterday, and ran into the problem that is described in the sticky about the problem using the wind hose "outlook express". it is not allowing me to register, so i guess now i will have to ask if anyone here that is already a member, can post my pic and ask for any info that may be out there. responses can be sent to : moparx "at" windstream "dot" net. please use certicard in the subject line. THANK YOU in advance !

MX. I've done it for you. Wait and see what pops up and let us know on here.

thanks lee ! i'll report back what i find out. sometime this week, i'm going over to my friends house to check out what is in the tool box this card came from. i'll also find out the original owner's name and any history he may have told my friend. history is fascinating !

link for post, and hopefully some replies....

i'm keeping my fingers crossed ! the history on this will be great to know. i wonder if the car still exists ?

bringing this back to the top. i have received several pics taken at keystone raceway park and a little info about the owner. i'll scan and post pics late today or early tomorrow.

Anxious.

That's hysterical, didn't think those cars would have one.
"Sorry about your rough idle complaint sir, we can't find any warranty info on your car"...

here's what i found out. the guy's name was bob baughman, and he was a civil engineer working out of, or around monroeville, pa. he grew up in coudersport, pa. and was kind of a loner. he moved to the brookville, pa. area [where i'm located, which is 85miles north of pittsburgh] about 15 years ago when he retired, and died just a few months ago at approximately 66-69 years of age. when my buddy moved next to him and built a house, they became friends. when he died, my buddy was named executor of his estate. bob raced this cuda at keystone raceway park in the 70's, and then a dart gts with a max wedge power plant. the estate consists of no cars or parts, just a 1949 farmall tractor with a belly mower. there are several "bang sticks", the house, garage, and property, plus the normal things like furniture, tools, etc. the stuff has been appraised and priced, but i have never seen such goofy appraisals in any estate sale ever. some stuff such as common imported tools are ridiculously priced, and some good items dirt cheap ! i was luckily able to purchase some hand tools and a couple of scopes for idiotic prices as marked ! anyway, back to the pics. the cuda pics are taken at keystone, but the dates are unknown. one thing that really sticks out is the scoop that has "440" call outs. does that mean bob bought this car sans the original engine, or did it develop problems and was replaced with an rb ? a time slip was included that has the notation "trouble" at the bottom. did that mean there were problems during the run, or did he campaign another car with that name ? no dates are on any of the pics, so if anyone can remember this car from the past, or where it may be today, please chime in.

Bob and Connie Stape owned the Street and Strip shop that is on the drivers-side fender. Their speed shop was right down the road on route 22. Bob moved to Florida years ago

any idea when those pics may have been taken ?

Pics have to be no earlier than 1974. That's a '74 or newer Vega in the lanes next to him.

"Six Pack To Go", 440 on the scoop, 10.46 @ 126
I'm guessing the Hemi was out and an a well built RB was in it's place.

The first photo was at least late 77 as there is a LRE truck and a 78 Ford in the back ground.

Wow, Steve Reasbeck, is that your hemi car in pic #2?
