WIW - 1968 Barracuda 383 Formula S 4 speed

I know that I did not want to get :worthles:

and that they are worth a 1000 words, so here we go:

Sorry for the pics, I did not take them.

I have not seen this car in person, but here is what I know:

Car has sat for some time, and has a very bad amatuer paint job, some rust on the roof, and cracking bondo at the base of the window where the seams for the dutchman panel USED to be. They look filled in and are cracking.

Unsure if it is numbers matching and here is what I see so far:

It is a real "H" code car.

It has a 4 speed and is a FB

It looks like a 120 speedo (standard) with a performance indicator or tach.

Looks like the bezel is intact, so perhaps not much has been monkeyed
with behind the dash with wiring, etc.

Looks like the stock BB radiator

The fold down seat was an option

Grilles and trim rings are in boxes (unless those are extras behind the seats

The interior looks okay, though it needs to be freshened (and perhaps
there is a buildsheet under the rear seat)

The 8 3/4 is there (unsure of ratio), though it looks a bit leaky or
just crusty near the bottom

There are some mods to the car (electric fan, steering wheel, hurst
handle and perhaps shifter. Is that an auto console? Makes me wonder if it had cooling
issues, or was a warmed over 383 (which may indicate it is non-numbers
matching).

Also, supposedly there is a fender tag, but it needs to be located.

Not sure if heads, intake and exhaust manifolds are there...That car needs quite a bit, and some of the parts (if they are not stowed away somewhere), are hard to source and expensive. That says nothing about machine work, rebuild, and chasing small odds and ends.

I have a number in my head that I am thinking but wanted to see what other members thought. I also know there are members like matthon and Rocky_JS that know more about the 67s and 68s, but I welcome any thoughts, advice and things in particular to look for.
