As a discussion piece it probably belongs here though.  I find the vinyl top and the film history of the car a lot more interesting than the alleged Mr. Norm connection.  The fact that he signed it means nothing and the decal looks pretty new to me (could it be a repop?).  Grand Spaulding did a lot of aftermarket conversion stuff for folks so it could be legit or they may have just found the parts and did it up to look that way.  I would want to see some documetnation proving the heritage before I believed it.
That aside, it's still a cool car for the other two things.

No way it's a Norm car. Didn't he sell Dodges? And the Supercharger kits came after 1971...so it's an add on.
Giving Mr. Norm his due, it might be a dealer-add-on, but who cares? Could have just as easily been an "over the counter" purchase.

Nice Barracuda though. I was downloading pictures of it earlier today ....(at work!).

Could have been a trade in too though.

It isn't a Mr. Norm's car.  He did sell only Dodges.  But he would modify any Mopar that came in.  So it could have been modified there, but not sold.

yep thinking that also , when the GSS Demon was relesed  , a customer saw it on the lot &  asked can you stick a supercharger on it  !!  , the set up unger the hood looks like its been lifted out of a demon 
posting pictures , before they dissapear

1968 Barracuda...one of my favorite cars!!
Which is why I bought one! It's going to be my "retirement" project, when I'm out of the Airforce in a little over a year.

Tough call as to how to do it though....I love the Super Stock look, but the vintage "Street" look is great also. Then there's the ProMod business, or "XV"-look I call it.
Also, the dog-dish hubcaps are fantastic, and lately I've really begun to appreciate the full "Mag-style" wheelcovers!

As it turns out, these are the VERY SAME issues I'm dealing with for my 1968 Charger R/T!!

Vinyl top.  That's pretty rare right?

[Magnumcharger]

Likely a dealer installed vinyl top. The only factory installed ones I'm aware of were the targa style and the canopy style.
