Hurst SS Cuda with it's original engine pulled out of the widow's garage and brought to the Barnfind section of the MCACN

It’s 1 of only 70 Super Stock BO29 Hemi Barracudas modified by Hurst Performance for competition in the 1968 season. 

Californian George Wejbe bought it new in Santa Fe Springs and campaigned it in IHRA events. 

George retired the car in 1972 and it was recently acquired from his widow. 

Remarkably, it still retains its original 426 race-spec Hemi engine and heavy-duty Torqueflite transmission, and is well documented with its original sales and finance papers, and factory-to-dealer bulletin detailing the race modifications and warranty exclusions.

This 1970 Cuda 340 4 speed hasn't run in 25 years, and hasn't been registered in in 43 years

But they do have that number matching engine fired up again

somewhere out there, but out of the rain and snow...

UGLY paint color, and ugly Fury only hubcaps that the marketing people put on the Cuda, and a flat hood... not even the Shaker hood.... that's a lot going on for a hemi 'Cuda to overcome!

Looks like a 71 with a 340, that needs a fortune to make right, as it's likely that everything is rusted that you can't see, or doesn't work, or is locked up with rust. But it must have made some high schooler very damn happy a long time ago

Thank you John! 

tv series, Dark Winds takes place in 1971, and has some very cool late 60s vehicles.

Because it's a tv series, with limited budget, they didn't go for accuracy, or authenticity in the right vehicles - but they sure did choose some cool vehicles 

 Curbside looked into what really was used  https://www.curbsideclassic.com/blog/cc-tv/netflix-dark-winds-blows-its-automotive-casting/ back in 1970

great photo of a gas station guy tanking up an Barracuda, and it's got some custom vertical black paint lines on the fenders.... thank you John!

 I am surprised to see it's on ice, with summer tires too... 

This Barracuda ain't messing around... not with this supercharged elephant

there will not be a winner for the 2025 Sox & Martin Hemi Challenge. Both SS/AH cars were disqualified after the race, they failed tech inspection

During post race inspection, both the winner (Jason Line) and the runner up (Jimmy Daniels) had their cars in the tech barn and failed tech inspection.

FWIW Jason Line drove his ’68 Barracuda to an 8.280 at 160.92

ANOTHER Barracuda gets time under Hollywood lights

Nine years after Merle Haggard’s death Ethan Hawke has organized a biography by way of California road trip and recording-studio extravaganza, Highway 99: A Double Album is a gathering of several dozen musicians singing the country great’s praises, mainly by singing his songs.

There’s a subplot, if that term can apply to a documentary – the road, and the role of fathers in shaping a man. (If you were into great movies, you'll recall "Boyhood" starring Ethan Hawke https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1065073/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_cdt_t_46 )

Hawke conducts new interviews too, including with some of Haggard’s children and one of his wives, plus Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton, the object of Haggard’s unrequited love when they toured together.

As for Ethan Hawke's choice of a ‘68 Barracuda, his father owned a 1968 Plymouth Barracuda, so at the wheel of a 68 Barracuda, Hawke hits the road, California’s State Route 99, to be exact, in search of the music’s roots and the man’s. That north-south artery through the scrubland and ranches of the Central Valley, Hawke notes, connects key places in Haggard’s life. 

Merle famously lost his father when he was 9, and it shaped his future in a profound way. 

After his father’s death, years of truancy, train-hopping and crime, multiple escapes from local jails, and nearly three years in a maximum-security prison, San Quentin.

 Within nine years of his release from San Quentin, Haggard was not just a leading figure in the realm of the Bakersfield sound, but he was the top country musician in the United States, with three No. 1 singles in 1969 and a growing collection of industry awards.

The film is divided into two parts, with a theater-friendly 15-minute intermission (with extra music packed in there, too), and the song interpreters include Lucinda Williams, Dwight Yoakam, Gillian Welch, John Doe, Steve Earle, Los Lobos and Valerie June. Every one of the new performances reveals how finely the songs have aged.
