RancheroSteve Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Don't forget the '65 Barracuda, which is pretty accurately represented (for the most part) by the Hemi Under Glass kit: http://www.hotrod.com/articles/1965-plymouth-barracuda-funny-car/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smhardesty Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Sad to hear. His name will forever be remembered along with Garlits, Prudhomme, Sox &Martin, Jenkins, and the other kings of drag racing. The battles of "The Snake" & "The Mongoose" were quite memorable. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainford Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Very sad to hear. His rivalry with Prudhomme in the 70s was fuel for the imagination. I loved that stuff as a kid. Thanks for the memories, Tom. R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
