"One of Eddie Smith's old cars, West Virginia Hemi, this '68 Barracuda originally was bought by Bob Porter, in Ohio, where it was called 'Porter's Pride'. Porter also owned a '64 or '65 car that was beat up in a tornado that destroyed his house and garage. The '68 survived virtually unscathed. Porter obviously needed money, so he sold the Cuda to Eddie Smith, who painted it red and black, and raced it extensively. The car was then bought and raced by Richard Beshore, who turned it into the show car you see here. This Cuda won the Hemi Shootout at Indy a couple of years ago."

John Hagen bought the Super Stock Barracuda paint it Green with "John Hagen" on the Doors. Later he put "Super Cuda" on the Doors. Around 1973 he repaind the Car in Candy Red and race it. At the end 70s he Sold the Car to Rick Johnson and he racing it in the 80s and 90s.
