Original Super Stock HEMI Barracuda BO29
It's been many years so I don't remember everything but it's something like this. Ray Christian parked the Barracuda in front of his shop a lot but he also had a mean dog that was chained to the car. One day Ray came in to find the car and his dog gone. Now it gets hazy, his dog was found down the road dead. Seems the thieves kept him chained to the car. Never got the car back so at least one of his '68 cars is a clone. As far as the original car being a 4 speed, that didn't stay in the car because Ray and his partner Shelby Starkey built racing torqueflites. One of them blew up in the first car. Those two put their heads together and designed/machined 2 or 3 aluminum 727 Hemi front drums because of the explosion and parts coming through the floor. They built Bob Marshalls trannys for his "Dodge Material" '65 hemi cars and he was the man to beat for awhile. Bob had one of the lite weight tranny drums and was supposed to ALWAYS bring the trans back to have it built. He did for a couple years then he took his torqueflite AND Christians/Starkey's drum to Paul Forte. When Paul saw what they had machined, he copied it and marketed it as his own! Sue me Paul..
