Factory 68 Hemi Barracuda Drag Pack

If I am not mistaken, the "Deathwish" Barracuda was NOT a "real" B029 car. It was built and raced by Bill Weakley in OH. I seem to recall that it was on E-Bay a few years ago. If it has "real" VIN numbers on it I would be curious as to what they are. I was thinking that the car you were talking about was the one Charlie Blankenship had and sold to someone in TX a few years ago. That was the Parrillo & Cerrone Barracuda - I do know most of the history on that one back to day one. If you want to know more, let me know.

I have not seen the car you are refering to (Pic?) I was just going by the name on the window thing. I saw the car I am thinking of (The old Deathwish car) probily five years ago. Bill Weakly had a Cuda called "The Sting" for a short time before Phil Roar got it. That is the only Hemi cuda I ever saw Bill drive. He raced a 65' hemi coronet called the "Wild Thing" for years. It is possible that Blankinship has had more than one Cuda he buys and sells cars like crazy.
