It should have Formula S badges and 383 four barrel badges on each fender. It should not have the rectangular V8 badge as well, like this one does on the driver's side fender.
Big block 67 Fastback Barracuda Not Mine

Vent window locks? My 67 has vent window levers, no locks. So does my 69.
The 67's had that funky chrome plastic trim on the windshield and rear window, 68 and 69 had stainless steel, but it's easy enough to convert to the later setup with new window gaskets and the 68-69 stainless trim. Plus a few clips. I know because I converted mine back in the late eighties. Looks like this example has the later stainless trim.
The 67 doors had vents at the lower rear. My 69 doesn't and I'm not sure about 68, since I've never owned one. This one has the door vents.
I'm thinking this is actually a 67 Barracuda. Factory 383? Can't tell, but it certainly is not dressed out correctly. (Radiator is not correct, either.)

It's definitely a conglomeration of different year parts. I actually like it for what it is. It seems overpriced considering its a hodge podge of different year melted together but it's still a nice ride. I think it's a 67 as well. This car is a perfect example of why fender tags are so important.
Yep, that comment had me questioning my Wife's that I've been over fairly seriously to tell that it's never really been blown apart.

Lock, latch, catch, pull, lever... call it what you want. As for the hood, I guess I should have been specific, yes just the inner panel would have the access hole for the light on the 68 hoods.

There are actually mopar models and years that you have to push in a button to unlock the vent lever... what threw us all off..
My 49 Dodge has a little thumbwheel you have to unscrew to allow you to move the vent lever and open the wing vent. And my 56 Plymouth and 59 Dodge have the button you have to push to unlock the vent lever.
But I don't recall ever noticing that the 67 Barracuda's lever is different than the 69's. Thx for the pic Cuda Al.

Hi guys, my two cents on this 67. It looks to me that it is a 67 due to the VIN, tail lights, backup lights, truck trim, grills, doors (with 67 locking levers) and door handles. The hood inserts appear to be 68 but I really can't be sure. I think the car has had both rear quarters and both front fenders replaced with 68 pieces. Probably the hood too. Good interior shots would also help be sure.
I have had several 67, 68 & 69 Barracudas over the years and just about everything is interchangeable between them. Still, I think the VIN is correct but the restoration used the wrong year parts.

I remember this car being for sale a few years ago and questions being asked about all of the obvious deviations of the car. The one reply that I recall was that they liked the '68 marker lights so they were installed. May not be the same owner now putting it up for sale.

Did the 67 notchback have a short automatic console or was it like the fastback with the 2 piece.
