If you could order any A-Body new? What if question.

[1968FormulaS340]

If you could go back in time and order any A-Body new, what would it be?

(Normal production cars only please…… This thread won't be fun if it's full of 68 Hemi Darts and Barracudas.)


For me it would be.

1968 Dart GTS, 340, 4-Speed in White with red interior and red tail stripe.

I would want it fully loaded…. Power steering, power disc brakes, wood steering wheel, head rests, AC, inter light package and all the little comfortable do-dads……

68 340 4 speed Barracuda fastback and then, just for fun and something to drive the "rest of the time", a 69 Valiant Signet 2 door, with a 318 4 speed, loaded to the gills with the heavy duty trailer tow package, with hitch delete. Gives you all the HD goodies in cooling, suspension and electrical. My dad ordered a Seafoam green Signet similarly back then, his first new car. Except being a family man he couldn't swing the extra $30 for the 4 speed....it survived until about 1980...about a year too soon for me to have gotten hold of it, instead of the total pile Duster I wound up with!
The body was still good, it just needed everything mechanical...so did the Duster!
Ya live and learn..
The fantasy depends on my imaginary income at the time....of course.
