High quality Swiss made A - Bodies

I've got the information You're looking for - and it is very interesting:

Swiss-made Barracudas 1967 - 1969:

1967: 273 - 2bbl and 273 - 4 bbl, no slant sixes.
1968: 273 - 2 bbl and 340s
1969: 273 - 2 bbl and 340s

Obviously 273 engines leftovers were still sent to Schinznach in 68 and 69; the engines were still painted red. There were no 318s offered in swiss Barracudas. Nearly all Barracudas were fastbacks, but there are few notchbacks (only with 273 c.i.) known. Convertibles were imported - not swiss made - but sold by AMAG; these convertibles got the US-motorization: 225 c.i., 318 c.i. and 340 c.i. Only one big block Barracuda is known and this was a modified race car:

Most of the swiss Barracudas in 68 and 69 seemed to be 340 - Fastbacks. I think they outnumbered the 273 c.i. Barracudas by 4 to 1. I believe they built in these 2 years about 130 - 150 Barracudas equipped with the 340 in Schinznach - therefore the fame of the 340 is still big in Switzerland - nearly every even lesser car enthusiast knows this engine. But exact numbers broken down to motorization are not available; same story as with my Demon; also concerning the leftover engine story.

Hi, looks like my car is one of them...
I'm from Italy, I have the car since 2012.
I’d really like to know more about my 1968 Barracuda. I know it’s an Euro Import Version, assembled in Switzerland (Automontage Schinznach) and imported by SIMCA. It is a ‘68 model year but with a matching number 273 V8 2bbl, that it wasn’t available anymore in the US for that year, but looks like it was for Europe. It has an original speedometer in KM/H. These in the pics are the only tags that can be found in the engine compartment (LH Fender)... no Door tag and no other fender tags since I have it (2012)... so I can’t get any other informations.
If you can help discovering more about these Euro Import versions and about my car in particular thanks a lot!
