68 Barracuda Formula S (San Diego, and not mine)
Added in e-mail from the owner:
"I have to broadcast sheet....I will post the picture.
I am the third owner...Universal Studios first owner.
Steering wheel and bumper is original.
Car will not turn over...needs work and has been sitting for 20+ years.
10.5 compression and DMV doesn't have any record maybe back fees?
Car is located in City Heights."
The burgandy looks like it was resprayed over red...hard to tell from pics. Wonder what the jambs and floor looks like.
I agree that if it was a 4 speed it would be more interesting and certainly a higher asking price. Interesting history if he is able to prove that Universal Studios was the first owner. Did bumperettes come on 68 cars, and I thought that the steering wheel was a 69 as well...could those be on a late 68 built car?
Anyone remember seeing a 68 FB in any movies? :happy2:
Steering wheel and bumperette were available on 1968.
I think you are missing the boat here.
Add up just the parts.

I don't think I over priced anything but just this stuff totals $3600.
Take it out of Califorina to register it if there are back fees.
Oklahoma is one state that could car less about back fees from another state.
If I had the extra money and that car was here in Oklahoma she would be
having a new home as long as the title is good.
