starting on my 383 barracuda

Pictures of the car and fender tag would really be helpful. Look under the carpets and seats for the build sheet.

A friend of mine has a 69 340S with just the scoops and hood stripes. It's not a 'cuda package car. He insists the car came that way but I'm skeptical. I have a picture of his fender tag but I'll have to dig it out. His car was built the same day as my A56, June 13, 1969.

Your car is pretty well optioned. It was common back in the day to load up early production cars and get them to dealers ASAP to showcase on their showrooms. I'm betting it's red. The fender tag will also show if it was special ordered or a sales bank car. He may have ordered a 383 Barracuda and that's what they found for him. I doubt he sat down and ordered it line by line.

I'm guessing yours is a 340S and the 'cuda graphics were added later.
