What it's worth (WIW) '68 Barracuda fastback

Bottom line for the intentions of being a mild custom 68 Barracuda, I don't think it's the same quality level as that 68 Barracuda S 4spd intentions to look stock. Look closely at the detail quality: are these parts dent, scratch free and polished/chromed restored: trunk trim, headlight/grille trim, stainless around windows, wheel lip moldings, tail light chrome.

Good points indeed. The quality of the items you mentioned are exceptionally nice. The chrome and trim are brilliant and shine as well as the paint.

Also note the exhaust manifolds are 318/273 not 340. So make sure to read the stamping on the front of the block under the drivers side head to confirm it is a 340 block.

It is a 340 with a '70 date code cast into the side of the block. I did not however pick up on the manifolds being of the smaller ported 273-318 type. After some thought it occurred to me that maybe I don't really know what I'm looking at as far as manifolds go. Is there an online source that I can check the casting numbers against??
