1967 ~ Barracuda 383-S and Dart GTS-383 ~ 280 HP 'How can this be.'

:oops: no hard facts here, and different year. In 1968, I bought a 68 form. S barracuda fastback at tink wilkersons chry. ply. in Tulsa ok. gave $3256 for it out the door. was a dark met. green(don't know the color code), white interior, bucket seat console auto. in the floor. papers said it was the roadrunners engine w/ a redesigned drivers side exhaust manifold, cutting the h.p. to 330 from the 335 for the r.r. limited slip . 8 3/4-gear unknown. car was almost uncontrollable, handled great. taking it back to the a.f. base, going thru the mountains in ark., I out ran a (so called hugger) Camaro and a volkswagon, the volkswagon was between me and the Camaro all the way. think this might have been an unusual combination. God only knows how much I wish I had kept that car! remember part of the particulars" was extra heavy duty torsion bars and sway bars. how rare was that thing ? also the exhaust was very load for the times, always got a look from the cops.
