High quality Swiss made A - Bodies

Very nice car...and it is according to the few informations I have about the 2nd Gen Swiss-Barracudas:

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:


The way to SIMCA France is interesting, but I have also seen a Schinznach-Dart, which went to Spain - as 3700 GT.

Only 72 Barracudas were assembled in Schinznach in 1968 and most of them were Fastbacks - Your car is extremely rare - it was not imported to Europe, it was built in Switzerland and then exported to France..

A very, very informative thread in the German Mopar Forum about Schinznach Cars and Numbers:

I’m not sure if this car ever been in France, when it was imported in Italy in 1978 from what I see on the car documents the licence plate was from Zurich (CH) Switzerland
