Hi my name is Fred, I live in the Detroit Area. I just picked up my first mopar. I have a 1967 Barracuda. It has been redone as a 1968 383 formula S, It is a Barn find, We are going thru it and cleaning it out. It a little rougher then we (wife and I) first thought. We thought it was a 68 383 formula S but the Vin. It is a 67 H code car with a D Engine code and was a Stick car at some point. Car currently has a 383 and 727. trying to figure out direction to go with it.
 
And another welcome from out Ann Arbor way!! Lets see this find you found, sounds very interesting! Maybe we can hook up, I'm a 67 owner myself!! Geof

I would leave the 383 but slap a 4-speed back in it :glasses7:

Cool car and welcome to FABO :cheers:
 
Dodge Freak is a local Detroit native, might send him a P.M. A separate post about Detroit FABO members, would speed things up quickly here.
 
That car is a 68!! The small round side marker lights are 68 only, the grille and tail panel trim are both 68 as well! Something is not right with the title here, better check the VIN of the title against the body VIN! Are you near Ann arbor? I'd be willing to help maybe clear this up for you!! Geof

he did mention the car was redone as a 68 formula S...maybe it was redone very thoroughly?
 
Welcome from the west coast. The wife's from Trenton, I learned the "Michigan hand map" from her, works great. Good luck with the Cuda!!

He said the car was redone as a 1968 383 formula S. That might be the reason it looks like a '68 with the round side markers. Just a thought.
 
Braile08: Welcome to the site. Because the car was basically "cloned" I'd leave it a 383 automatic car. It looks like it will make a really nice driver. Again, Welcome To FABO.
