I believe it is being restored to the as raced by Wally Booth, look. Last pictures I saw of the car, it had been dipped, and E coated. Josh King owned the car for a while, and flipped it. It's in good hands now.

The flying Robin looks great but man, I wish they hadn't have updated it. I have a picture of that car from Englishtown taken in the late 90's in the original paint scheme. Love that car.

I agree. It's a sin to do this kind of modification to such an rust free, intact car, an original Shaker hood car. Those radical mods you do to a rust bucket, a car that's not worth restoring.

This 'Cuda was in excellent shape when I saw it in November of '89 and could have been easily restored back to stock.

I have no idea what powerplant it originally came with, a 340, 383, 440+6 or HEMI. If I had to take a wild guess, I'd say it was a 440+6 'Cuda.

Original owner Bob Scoscia & family.

Paul Ceasrine's M-code 1969 Barracuda, summer of '89. I didn't get a chance to strike up a conversation with Paul that day but did get to 'meet' him online 20 years later over at the H.A.M.B. forum.

Paul was a very knowledgeable fellow when it came to Mopars and drag racing history; more than that, all around good guy. Unfortunately, he is no longer with us...Paul departed this mortal coil a few years ago, way before his time. frown
