March 2025
Steve Atwell's 426 Hurst Hemi Barracuda
Originally campaigned out of Idaho as "Gentle Ben" from 1968-71 by Ron McDowell and Jerry Taylor
running SS/AA, Pro Stock, and B/MP with a best of 9.20 @ 152. Sold later to Judy Lilly who won the Super Stock class at the 1972 Winternationals. Sold after to Jim DeFrank in California who installed wheel tubs and full roll cage. The "DeFrank & Cohen" Barracuda ran SS/AA and some Pro Stock. Joe Allread built the engine and the car set several track records.
Sold in '76 to the late Harry Holton, and after much SS/AA success it went through more owners beginning of 1986. There has been a 4-link upgrade and replacement engine build to Race Hemi specs by the current owner. The car retains its original fiberglass front clip, glass, and interior. A rare Mopar with great history. Thanks for the sign order Steve.
