69 Notchback Mod Top $5000 Illinois. Marketplace NOT MINE

[4fortyDemon]

I had one of these. Bought it in 94 in Portland Oregon. 318, 904, 8 3/4 suregrip.
Green, green interior, buckets, console. Ran and drove great. Had rallyes on it when I got it.
Paid $1600. I only kept it for less than a year. Had to thin the herd... I knew it was unusual but not do RARE.

Since there was no call outs on the car, what on the fender tag denotes the car as a S car?

Nothing, because a standard Barracuda optioned with a 340 is still a base Barracuda. Just like a 70 challenger ordered with all the RT options and a 340 is still a base Challenger.

How do you define a base car?

How do you define a base car?

In E-bodies it is easy. A BH is a base Barracuda. In 69, a A56 (Cuda) or A53 (Formula S) would be an upgrade in trim, engine, and suspension by definition of the upgrade package over the base model. A non A56 or A53 would be a base car which could be ordered with some of the options of the A56 or A53 but still would be a base car. That is the way I see it.

Under construction, and not mine to do so. Believe he sent you something a while back.

Yep, I believe a valance exhaust cutout, a gold one.

A53 on fendertag?

I see someone just bought the Illinois car, was posted on Facebook. Here is a pic of the 340-S car I helped restore. Only thing we didn't put back to stock was the V7W white pin stripe...

So a 340 car? Normal for 69. Any documentation proof of this "340-S"?

Any 340 Barracuda that did not have the A53 package was a 340-S. 386 automatics 219 4-speeds, no breakdown on V1P though that I could find...

Going by your word. No offense but where is documentation that states this? Nothing at Hamsammich site, I havent seen an original and I haven't seen one on here.

I don't have any documentation, I am a Dart guy who dabbles in Barracudas. Only what I have learned over the last 45 years of buying, selling, and restoring them. Galen's White Books says the 340 hardtops are regular Barracuda's and A53 Formula S and the fastbacks are regular 340 and A53 Formula S. But I have owned and seen 69 Barracuda's with 340-S badges that have the same VIN, but I haven't seen any documentation from him either. So what makes them 340-S? I believe the badging could be on some regular Barracuda's and some did not.
