1968 PLYMOUTH BARRACUDA 383 FORMULA-S 4-SPEED THIS CAR IS A NUMBERS MATCHING CAR WITH MOTOR, TRANS AND REAREND THIS IS "1 OF 158" 383 4-SPD CARS MADE IN 1968 IT IS A VERY UNIQUE OPTIONED FORMULA-S CAR: 383 4-SPEED HP MOTOR FACTORY RADIO DELETE CAR E-70/14 RED SIDEWALL STEEL BELTED TIRES 323 SURE GRIP DELUXE INTERIOR - GOLD IN COLOR BUCKET SEATS CONSOLE 150 MPH SPEEDOMETER WITH TACH MONOTONE RACING GREEN METALLIC PAINT HORIZONTAL RED SPORTS STRIPE WIDE SEAL MOLDING DRIP RAIL MOLDING WHEEL LIP MOLDING LOWER ROCKER MOLDING BUILD DATE: NOV 7, 1967 I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER 2-YEARS AGO, CAR COULD NOT MAKE SURVIVOR CAR AS HE HAD IT PAINTED. HE STATED THAT THE MILEAGE WAS THE ORIGINAL MILEAGE IN 1976 HE PARKED THE CAR AND NEVER DROVE IT AGAIN AFTER WE PURCHASED VEHICLE, WE REMOVED THE MOTOR, HAD A VALVE JOB DONE, RE-GASKETED THE MOTOR, AND REPAINTED MOTOR, CARB WAS REMANUFACTURED AND RE-INSTALLED IN CAR. THE RADIATOR IS NOT THE NUMBERS MATCHING RADIATOR, BUT IS IDENTICAL EXCEPT FOR 1 NUMBER DIFFERENCE. WE STARTED ENGINE TO VERIFY THAT MOTOR RAN AND HOW WELL, IT IS A VERY STRONG MOTOR. WE HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE CAR AS IT STILL NEEDS A NEW FUEL TANK, BRAKES, AND SHIFTER INSTALLED. THIS CAR STILL RETAINS THE ORIGINAL BATTERY CABLES. THE ONLY BODY REPAIR THAT WE CAN SEE THAT HAS BEEN DONE, WHEN PAINTED, WAS APPROXIMATELY 2 INCHES ON LOWER REAR QUARTERS HAS BEEN REPLACED. OTHER THAN THAT, THERE IS NO RUST-OUT OR MAJOR BODY REPAIRS THAT WE CAN TELL. INTERIOR OF THE CAR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, FRONT AND REAR DOOR PANELS WERE DESTROYED, THEY WERE GOLD WITH THE DELUXE PACKAGE. HEADLINER HAS MOUSE HOLE UNDER SUN VISOR, CARPET NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, SEATS NEED TO BE RECOVERED. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - THE CAR COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL CLUSTER AND DASH BEZEL. WITH PURCHASE, I WILL BE SUPPLYING A 1968 RECHROMED AND REPAINTED DASH BEZEL. ACCORDING TO ORIGINAL OWNER, IN 1970 HE HAD AN AM/FM STEREO INSTALLED BY THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH IS STILL IN THE VEHICLE WITH SEPARATOR BOX BEHIND REAR SEAT. WHEN WE HAD A BATTERY IN THE VEHICLE WE CHECKED RADIO, WORKED CORRECTLY AND SOUNDED GOOD. BODY LOOKS TO BE IN VERY VERY GOOD CONDITION, PAINT SEEMS TO BUFF VERY NICELY. TRUNK AND SPARE TIRE WELL HAS ZERO RUST. STILL RETAINS ORIGINAL TRUNK MAT AND TRUNK LIGHT. WHEN WE REMOVED REAR SEAT OF CAR TO FIND BUILD SHEET, WE FOUND MICE HAD MADE A VERY NICE NEST OUT OF IT. (SEE PICTURES). ALL IN ALL, THIS CAR WILL BE VERY SIMPLE TO FINISH, AND IS AN ORIGINAL 4-SPEED BIG BLOCK A-BODY, AND IT COULD BE THE ONLY ONE LIKE IT. JUST THINK, FOREST GREEN, RED STRIPES, AND GOLD INTERIOR, I DO BELIEVE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD A STATEMENT TO MAKE. THANKS FOR LOOKING
