Notes: Bill Flynn was a former paratrooper released from the Army in '62. After he got home, he went through a series of cars, starting with a 409 Chevy and then going to Mopar products from '63 on. In '65 and the early part of '66, he ran a Hemi-powered '65 Coronet under the name of "Yankee Peddler." In Mid-'66, he debuted his new 1,800 lb. Barracuda. Flynn used a fairly stock 426 Hemi. The rods, pistons, and valves were stock, as was the compression ratio at 12.5:1. It used aluminum heads and an aftermarket Crane cam. Hilborn injectors fed the motor its fuel. The engine was set back in the chassis 18" for better weight distribution. A TorqueFlite transmission delivered the power back to a Mopar rear with 4.56 gears. (2/67 Drag Racing)Bill was in Connecticut on June 26 for a best of five match race against Bill Lawton. Flynn had beaten the "Mystery 9" Mustang several weeks earlier, and this was a rematch. Since their last match, the "Yankee Peddler" had been lowered five inches front, and a mini-spoiler had been added to keep the front end down. Flynn got out first in their first race, but Lawton drove around him to win with a 9.34/144 to Flynn's 9.63/127.11. Lawton got a little sideways off the line in the second race, and that was enough for the Mopar to win with a 9.22/147.54. Lawton really found some hp in the third race as he reset the track record with an 8.71/158 to easily win. In the fourth race, Lawton won again, getting a two-car holeshot and stretching it out with an 8.91/157 to win the match. Glass front end, doors, deck lid. Lots of history. Injected fuel, A&A Engineering fiberglass body-113 "-114" Bill Flynn adjustable wheelbase chassis. Flynn ran the car in 1967, and then Al Hanna drove it for him in '67, then Hanna bought it and called it "Phantom." Hanna ran the car into 1968 when he sold it to George Whalen, who ran it as the "Rebel Cuda" into 1970. Car, more or less, still exists. February 1967 Drag Racing magazine says the car went 8.70/160 in 1966. Bill ran a confirmed 8.80 at Englishtown (9/23/66 Drag News) and 156.52 at Connecticut (11/04/66 Drag Times). This car is currently being restored (2011).
