A-bodies under $5k?

Of production? Yes. But there was a race hemi option only for that year. With a '68? You would have that clone option? (If you had the $$) The only A-body that even had that available. (That and the '68 Dodge Dart)

The 50 Darts and 50 Barracudas were considered production. That was the whole point of making that many. To qualify as production vehicles.
