1968 Barracuda Formula S

In `68 the Formula-S Barracuda was available with either a 340 small block (which most were) or a 383 big block. The fifth letter of the VIN will give you the engine code P=340, H=383. Four speed cars seem to bring a premium, convertibles are also pricey. Try to bargain, the market is soft now and if you show people cold hard cash, a lot of car can be had for a good price. 8K for that car doesn`t sound too crazy but a lot depends on its condition, body style, drivetrain and what they mean by needs interior and body work. You can check the VIN and then look on the back top edge of the block on the drivers side and then on the corresponding edge of the bellhousing. The last digits of the VIN should appear there if it`s a "matching numbers" car. Nice restorations can bring over 20K.
