Hi everyone! my name is Cy and I am the original owner of this 1968 plymouth barracuda...I ordered it in May of 68-midnite blue coupe, formula s package, 383, 4speed, 3.91 gear, bucket seats...YES I SAID COUPE! This is the only new car I ever bought and it's been with me ever since. The motor has been out 2 times(71,88) and its a number's matching survivor. This car according to Chrysler is 1 of 154 for 1968. I have all original parts and documents however it really means nothing to me because I never plan on selling it...i do think it will make a nice coffin!

Thanks guys! Il get some interior picks up real soon! As for the rite choice...it was a good choice, but it woulda been better if the salesman knew the hemi code:-D
 
Hemi code wouldn't be any more fun for you, cause you are keeping it anyway! LOL. Looks great, enjoy!
 
original paint yes, last year for midnite blue, however it has 41yrs of scratches and dings...and I have a story for each one haha
 
Sweet ride, leave the paint as is.
Did you buy it from Clyde C. Netzley Chrysler/Plymouth in Naperville, IL?
 
Thanks again! I bought it from Mark Motors in Arlington Heights...still has the sticker on the bumper...next to my Carthrage college parking permit that expired in '70....wow, I'm getting old!
 
Welcome to the forum. That car has a very nice stance. Wheel and tire details please ?
I wouldn't want buried in one. Just sprinkle some of my ashes in the passengers seat.
