6.1 Hemi in a ‘69 Barracuda

Sublime one said

Forgive my ignorance as I am new to the early A bodies but is the car pictured. The drop dead sexy red one a 68 S?

Forgive my ignorance as I am new to the early A body thing but is the drop dead sexy red Barracuda pictured above a 68 S? Zman ruined me at a show last week in Omaha and I now appear to be lusting after 68 fastbacks. What is difference between 68/69? Round side markers dictate 68? Again apologies for my lack of knowledge.

Yes it is a true Formula S 340 car. But has undergone some surgery to be built as a street replica of the super stock cars. So it has a built Hemi in it that has Indy heads and a mild-ish cam, fiberglass hood and fenders, etc. Its been in a Mopar Action magazine and won best paint at Mopar Nationals the year it was taken.

Other thing about the ‘69 cars is that the nose has a bump in the center whereas the ‘67 and ‘68 cars are flat across the nose. I don’t particularly care for the bump myself and I think that’s why the ‘68’s are more sought after.
